Every year, it seems, one or more of the people mentioned in the in-memoriam segment of the Oscars catches me by surprise. This year, it was Val Kilmer, who I had no idea had died. All in all, it was a bad year for iconic actors as we lost Robert Duvall, Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, Kilmer, Claudia Cardinale, Michael Madsen, Catherine O'Hara and Bridget Bardot, not to mention one of the greatest film directors of all time in Rob Reiner.
