The legendary Val Kilmer will release his highly-anticipated autobiography in April of 2020 via Simon & Schuster. In the book, the iconic actor shares remarkably candid stories behind his most beloved roles, reminisces about his star-studded career and love life, and reveals the truth behind his recent health struggles. Check out the description of the book below:
Val Kilmer has played so many iconic roles over his nearly four-decade film career. A table-dancing Cold War agent in Top Secret! A troublemaking science prodigy in Real Genius. A brash fighter pilot in Top Gun. A swashbuckling knight in Willow. A lovelorn bank robber in Heat. A charming master of disguise in The Saint. A wise-cracking gumshoe in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, Batman, Jim Morrison, and the sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.
But who is the real Val Kilmer? In this memoir—published ahead of next summer’s highly anticipated sequel Top Gun: Maverick, in which Kilmer returns to the big screen as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky—the actor steps out of character and reveals his true self.
Kilmer reflects on his acclaimed career, recounts his high-profile romances, chronicles his spiritual journey and reveals details of his recent throat cancer diagnosis and recovery—about which he has disclosed little until now. While containing plenty of tantalizing celebrity anecdotes, I’m Your Huckleberry—taken from t1he famous line Kilmer delivers as Holliday in Tombstone—is ultimately a deeply moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of life.
The 256 page book will be released by Simon & Schuster on April 21, 2020.
