Val Kilmer vs. Santa Fe
Seven years after Santa Fe resident Val Kilmer told an interviewer that he lives in "the homicide capital of the Southwest" and that "80% of the people in my county are drunk," the actor's neighbors are still demanding an apology. The San Miguel County Commission recently received a permit application from Kilmer to turn his home into a bed-and-breakfast, but the actor's request is tabled until he agrees to address his remarks in front of the Board of County Commissioners. Still, no hard feelings: despite his dis, Kilmer considered running for governor of New Mexico last year. [WSJ]

I met Val Kilmer backstage during intermission 9 years ago when he was filming Inside The Actors Studio. I have never seen a complexion on anyone (male or female) as perfect as his. He was thin at the time and clean-shaven. He was incredibly kind and gave me his Santa Fe address and phone number. We had promised to send each other personal photos of the late Chief Thin Elk with whom he acted alongside in Thunderheart. I would never call him, but did write him about my life with Chief Ted. Of course I never heard from him, but didn't expect to. It has pained me over the years to see his career go into a tailspin. The weight can be lost. I am hoping something happens in the near future that can bring him back to the roles he deserves and that his fans want to see him in. He is a very intelligent man.
Dear Anna,
I want to send a letter to Val Kilmer. Will you please send me his mailing address to dalemdavis@cox.net
I too, think he is very intelligent and a very talented actor. His project of the Twain/Eddy film is what I am interested in as well.
Thank you.
Val Kilmer, you are a great actor and just love you.
