Ellen Barkin Spotted in NYC Three Months After Val Kilmer’s Death at 65

Ellen Barkin was spotted walking her dog in New York City on Wednesday.

The 71-year-old actress wore a button-up white linen shirt over a black camisole, adding a pair of blue jeans and white sneakers.

She wore round, black sunglasses and her wispy, white, bob haircut was tucked behind her ears.

The Emmy-winning star layered two necklaces — one with half of a ‘best friend’ locket and another with a Jewish star pendant.

It comes three months after Val Kilmer, whom she dated in the 80s, died at age 65 from pneumonia following his battle with throat cancer.

Val fondly looked back on his relationship with Ellen in his 2020 memoir I’m Your Huckleberry.

He wrote about his former flame: ‘[Ellen had] the best smile in all five boroughs. I remember her wit, her sultry eyes, but mostly her laugh.

‘And her hair. Who remembers the softness of a woman’s hair? If you ever have a chance to consensually ever so gently touch Ellen’s hair, it will be worth the look she’s gonna drop on you.’ 

In 1984 the Bronx-born beauty was enveloped in a fling with the Hollywood heartthrob, marked by months of ‘window-shopping on Rodeo Drive by day and barbecuing at night.’ 

Kilmer described her as ‘one of the enchantresses who got away, no doubt due to my unmanageable preoccupations, my neglect.’ 

She is best known for her roles in Diner (1982), The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984), The Big Easy (1986), and Down by Law (1986).

Also listed on her resume are Sea of Love (1989), Switch (1991), The Fan (1996), Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), and Ocean’s Thirteen (2007).

Kilmer was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014 and underwent a tracheotomy, which significantly impacted his ability to speak. He was later declared cancer-free.

In a statement obtained by People shortly after his death, Val’s two children, Mercedes and Jack, expressed their gratitude to those honoring their ‘extraordinary father’s memory.’

 ‘We are so proud of him and honored to see his legacy celebrated,’ the actor’s kids, whom he shared with ex Joanne Whalley, said. ‘At this time, we would like to grieve privately.’

One of Val’s most recognizable roles was Iceman in the 1986 hit movie Top Gun.

Despite his permanently damaged voice, he made a brief return to the screen in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, reprising his role opposite Tom Cruise.

It was his last big screen appearance.
