Val Kilmer
À propos de cet audio
Val Kilmer has played 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 detective in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Of course, Batman, Jim Morrison and the sharp-shooting Doc Holliday.
But who is the real Val Kilmer? With I’m Your Huckleberry, the enigmatic actor at last steps out of character and reveals his true self.
In this uniquely assembled memoir—featuring vivid prose, snippets of poetry and rarely-seen photos—Kilmer reflects on his acclaimed career, including becoming the youngest actor ever admitted to the Juilliard School’s famed drama department, determinedly campaigning to win the lead part in The Doors, and realizing a years-long dream of performing a one-man show as his hero Mark Twain. He shares candid stories of working with screen legends Marlon Brando, Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr. and Robert De Niro, and recounts high-profile romances with Cher, Cindy Crawford, Daryl Hannah, and former wife Joanne Whalley. He chronicles his spiritual journey and lifelong belief in Christian Science, and describes travels to far-flung locales such as a scarcely inhabited island in the Indian Ocean where he suffered from delirium and was cared for by the resident tribe. And he 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 the famous line Kilmer delivers as Holliday in Tombstone—is ultimately a singularly written and deeply moving reflection on mortality and the mysteries of life.
I have been a fan of your 40 years ago and to get to know you through this brave story and your connection to nature was something I could really connect too .

An expressive, articulate, and eloquent writer - here's one example (but too many beautiful expressions to pick from!): "A continent that, more than any other, put me in touch with elemental forces that deepened my sense of the divine... Africa spoke to me in a voice as ancient as it was new, nature assumed a grandeur I had not before experienced." His words are ART (but not artifact, more like magic) in storytelling, precisely chosen imagery, precisely chosen feeling. You can feel, taste, touch his every word. Such colourful expressions, the words jump off the page (or bounce off the ear); I feel like every sentence of every chapter was like this, and my ears couldn't get enough of his intentional weaving of words, to share his wisdoms, to share his notions, to share his emotions. I laughed, I teared-up, I "aha'd" through every glorious chapter. His life built of family, friendships, romantic loves, work, happy times, sad times, spiritual searching, and self-searching - I've come to learn what an incredible human being Val is. His positivity and love for this life will keep him with us for many more years to come... and hopefully more books, poetry, art... more of his beautiful soul. See, I've gotta crush on Val!
PS, I would have preferred Val's personal narration (but the twist of life took that), however the three narrators did a wonderful job and honoured Val's intentions.
Val, I've gotta crush on you!...

I was wondering how I would like to listen to three narrators. Similar to the recent Jim Morrison collection of writings audiobook, it works well, especially after you become accustomed to the different styles.
Did I want the story to end? No. Will you? My guess is you will want it to continue, too, just like Val's fascinating and instructive life.
History plus reflection equal an engaging memoir
