Val Kilmer - not just an actor

Tweet

First some backstory. I’m not really into films and don’t recognise too many actors and know less about even more, if that makes sense. Each morning, after I’ve done Wordle on my phone, I do the Connections puzzle. The aim is to find the connections between four sets of four words. Sometimes I look up the hints page if I get stuck. One hint was ‘American poets’. I recognised Frost and Pound but that was it. So I googled American poets and one of the names on the list was Val Kilmer. I clicked on the name and discovered that it was THE Val Kilmer, more known no doubt for his acting. I discovered that Kilmer was extremely creative and had a very diverse career. As well as acting in films and the theatre, he also held several art exhibitions and published two books of poetry. So sad that his life was cut short by cancer.
