KELLY MCGILLIS

Kelly McGillis is an American actress who is well known for her film roles, such as Rachel Lapp in Witness with Harrison Ford. She also played the role of Tom Cruise’s leading lady in the blockbuster film Top Gun. The movie did very well at the box office, and it opened numerous opportunities for its actors, including McGillis. She held various jobs while pursuing her career, such as waitressing and snagging a few stage roles before landing a supporting part in the Academy Award-nominated Reuben, Reuben.

Due to an unfortunate event in the 1989 film Cat Chaser, the actress decided to give up on her acting dreams. The actress started taking roles in smaller film productions and TV appearances before ultimately settling down for theater performances. Her current career may be very far from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but she seems content and happy with her chosen path.
