I met Val Kilmer on the set of Tombstone in June of 1993. He was a little stand-offish and reserved, but it must be said, he was in character and damn did that ever pay off!
Val passed yesterday. He was 65.
Here are two versions of him I recreated, depicting one of his most famous scenes:
Daily Whip Out: "Doc In His Cups"
Daily Whip Out: "Val Spins A Cup"Both are available as art prints.
"That's just my game."
—Doc Holliday

ReplyDeletedo you think you could possibly do a review of the Val Kilmer Billy the Kid? The famous outlaw is one of those historical figures that is still more myth than fact, due to the countless portrayals of him on screen and TV, most of them being more fiction than following any aspects of the real man. Even the Young Guns films took more dramatic license than necessary. However, I actually wonder if Val Kilmer's performance might be the most important Billy the Kid film of all.

The link below is a better quality version recorded from TV in 1994, that shows the full film, though I should warn the sound may be a bit distorted.
