Val Kilmer
Ok, I'm not his #1 fan (that honour goes to Elora). I'm not even his #3,179 fan. Not
even close. No, I'm not making this page out of admiration or respect; I'm making this
page because Elora told me to.
Who the hell is he?
Yeah, that was the question I was asking myself when she first mentioned him. Val who?
Apparently, he's some bigshot actor -- even a sex symbol, if you will -- who's starred
in a bunch of movies. He attended both the Hollywood Professional School and Juilliard
before he, like most hopeful actors, pursued a career on the stages of New York, New York
for nearly a decade, after which he got himself into some movies.
Well, what the hell did he star in?
Hmm... good question. I hope there's an equally interesting answer.

I guess it really is true- no matter what anyone says, you really can't do it all.
Where can I go for more information on this 'sex symbol'?
