KELLY MCGILLIS

Kelly McGillis was one of the most sought-out actresses during the 80s and 90s. She has appeared in many chart smashing blockbusters like Made in Heaven, The House on The Carroll Street and most in Top Gun. After three decades of its release, it is announced that there will be a sequel to Top Gun named Top Gun: Maverick, with most of the cast set to reprise their roles in the movie. We will definitely see Tom Cruise because he is the main protagonist, but unfortunately, the actress will not join the ensemble of casts.

McGillis has had a wavering popularity, though she may have career highlights here and there, she hasn’t always maintained the star power she has once embodied. Truth be told, she never even left the industry but focusing on more minor roles in TV and film throughout the years. She personally admitted on refusing to join Top Gun: Maverick as she’s already been replaced by Jennifer Connelly. She doesn’t hold grudges and is actually fine for the decision as she’s also focusing on other ventures. Through her investments, she now works as an acting coach at the New York Studio for Stage and Screen.
