Legendary actor Val Kilmer shares the stories in back of his most beloved roles, reminisces about his star-studded career and love life, and reveals the truth behind his latest health struggles in an amazingly candid autobiography.

Val Kilmer has played a lot of iconic roles more than his nearly four-decade film profession. A table-dancing Cool Battle agent in Top Secret! A troublemaking science prodigy in Genuine Genius. A brash fighter pilot in Top Gun. A swashbuckling knight in Willow. A lovelorn standard bank robber about I’m Your Huckleberry: A Memoir in Heat. A charming get good at of disguise in The Saint. A wise-cracking gumshoe in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Obviously, Batman, Jim Morrison, as well as the sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.

But who is the true Val Kilmer? Within this memoir—published before next summer time’s highly anticipated sequel Top Weapon: Maverick, in which Kilmer returns towards the silver screen as Tom “Iceman” Kazansky—the professional techniques out of character and reveals his accurate self.

Kilmer reflects on his acclaimed career, recounts his high-profile romances, chronicles his spiritual trip and reveals information on his recent neck cancer analysis and recovery—about which he has disclosed little as yet. While containing a lot of tantalizing celebrity anecdotes, I’m Your Huckleberry—extracted from the popular collection Kilmer delivers as Holliday in Tombstone—is normally ultimately a deeply moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of lifestyle.
