Val Kilmer is a movie star. He is in Top Gun and Batman Forever. He dies at 65. He has pneumonia. He dies in Los Angeles.
In 2014, Kilmer has throat cancer. He gets better after a long fight. He is in many movies. He plays Jim Morrison in The Doors and a cowboy in Tombstone. He is a great actor, and people like his movies. But some people say that he is not easy to work with. After that, he is in fewer movies, and his career slows down. In 2022, he is in Top Gun: Maverick again. His character is sick, like him in real life. The movie is very special for him and his fans.
People are sad and remember his movies. They will never forget him.
Difficult words: pneumonia (a lung disease), throat (the inside of your neck), cancer (a disease where some parts of the body start to grow without control).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
