Jack Kilmer

Val Kilmer met his future wife, Joanne Whalley, on the set of the 1988 cult fantasy film Willow. A few years later, Whalley served as a resource actress for the 1992 summer Directors Lab at the Sundance Mountain Resort in Provo, Utah, and Kilmer came to visit her with their daughter Mercedes in tow. In the summer of 2017, 25 years later, Val and Joanne’s other child, Jack, came to the Sundance Resort as a resource actor himself! Jack is pictured above working alongside creative advisor, Ed Harris, fellow, Aleem Kahn on the set Kahn’s project, After Love. 

Back in 1978 I met Wille De Ville at the corner of Selma and Franklin Ave in Hollywood to take a photo for some British newspaper. Just last summer, almost 40 years later, I brought Jack Kilmer back to the exact location to take his photo for the Spanish edition of Esquire magazine. I told Jack the story about Wille and how much fun we can back in the day. The fun continues today! 

I just got a glimpse of the advance copy of Esquire magazine ES with my 16 page story on Los Angeles. There is a full page photo of Jack Kilmer in there.
