The Island of Dr More...Sorry, may I correct you?... The Island of Dr Moreau was recorded in 1995 not 96. Kilmer finished his divorce papers in Feb 96. So yes, he was dealing with it, but that doesn't mean he can be a jerk to his co-workers... Also, you see, he wasn't so depressed to invite his then lover Drew Barrymore to the IODM set... The real victim there was Brando who's daughter committed suicide at the time.<br />Besides that, yes, he had a physical fight with Sizemore but Kilmer was the one who started it. I read the story some time ago but it is too long to write it here.<br />And Frankenheimer also hated Val, but I think he has a stronger personality than Stanley.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13870264936808601980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880033253850981576.post-86913725995142588682020-09-10T17:14:47.814+01:002020-09-10T17:14:47.814+01:00John Frankenheimer also do not like Kilmer.
