Where is today beautiful Kelly McGillis?

They called her the ideal of female beauty, she marked the eighties and forever embellished the history of film, but today you probably won't see her on the big screen.

American actress Kelly McGillis has been on the scene since the mid-1980s when she attracted the attention of audiences and critics with her first film role - in the film “Reuben, Reuben” - and was nominated for a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award. Kelly's next role was the one that most people still remember today, in the 1986 film "Top Gun". Then followed a number of roles in numerous productions, and she especially stood out in the films “The Babe”, “Winter People”, “North” and “At First Sight”.

Prior to that, she had a short career in television series, and she also enjoyed playing in the theater, which she still adores today. However, we don't see her that often today. Kelly is celebrating her 65th birthday in July this year and appears extremely rarely in public, and of the roles, she accepts only minor episodic roles in the series.

Many still remember Kelly after her heroine Charlie in the movie Top Gun, a defiant, long-legged, blue-eyed, and blonde beauty. For a long time, she was considered the ideal of beauty and a girl whose beauty marked the eighties, and today, it is difficult to recognize her. However, many were surprised when it was revealed that Kelly will not appear in the sequel planned for this year.

As the actress pointed out, she did not refuse the invitation - she was not even invited.

“I am old and fat and I look in line with my age and that does not interest the scene. But... I would rather feel completely safe in my own skin and because of who and what I am at my age than to attach importance to other things” - Kelly pointed out.

The actress was diagnosed with a lack of alpha-1 antitrypsin seven years ago, a congenital condition that increases the risk of lung and liver diseases.

Kelly has two marriages, the last of which ended in 2002, and with her second husband Fred Tillman she has two daughters - Kelsey and Sonora. Seven years after the divorce, she declared herself gay in an interview, and since 2010 she has been in an extramarital affair with a certain Melanie Leis, with whom she lives in North Carolina.

The actress, by the way, experienced a real drama in 2016, when an unknown woman entered her house, after which Kelly received a permit to carry a gun.
