Kelly McGillis: "I'm done with the man thing."

[Spiffy]

Once the hetero crush of zillions of Top Gun viewing teen boys, McGillis has apparently decided to publicly declare a change in teams.

http://www.kansascity.com/stargazing/story/1171400.html


Kelly McGillis, the woman who got Tom Cruise's blood boiling in "Top Gun," says she's in the market for a female partner.

In an interview with the Internet show Girl Rock!, the single, twice-divorced mother of two said she's looking for "definitely a woman."

"'I'm done with the man thing. You need to move on in life," said McGillis, 51.

The actress said coming out as a lesbian was "an ongoing process from the time I was probably 12."

She added that "I had a lot of things happen that convinced me that God was punishing me because I was gay."

She was attacked and raped in her apartment in 1982 when she was a young actress working in New York.

On screen she has portrayed an Amish widow opposite Harrison Ford in "Witness" and starred in "Made in Heaven," and "The Accused" with Jodie Foster.

Wow.

That was Kelly McGillis???? :eek:

[Sean Walsh]

So as part of this ongoing process of coming out as a lesbian, she got married, became a 1980's Hollywood hottie and had 2 kids?

Good for her, but........weird how life progresses, I guess...?

Poor Man-Thing.

No one loves him.

[Yearning4Yorick]

That's fine Kelly, good for you, hope your happy.

*pops in Top Gun*

mmmm I would still take a ride into his Danger Zone.

[buttler]

I am shocked to discover that anyone secretly gay was in Top Gun.

Good for her, though. After all, whatever knows 40 years of semi-closeted lesbianism burns at the touch of the Man-Thing.

It's not Giant Size, that's why.

I thought she had already come out as a lesbian a while ago. Weird.

Aw, while some under the chin lipo would be nice, I give her credit for looking 'natural'.

[Lester C.]

Poor woman. I'm sure she loves her kids and everything, but to live a lie for fifty plus years has to be hard. Is it me or is that Stephanie Mcmahon.

[section 8]

Cayman beat me to it.

[Sean Walsh]

That's Kelly McGillis???

I just saw her in a Sci-Fi movie a few weeks back - Supergator, from 2007 - and she looked much younger like this.

[MartinRedmond]

It's hard to look good under crude lighting like that. Come on, even models have their pics doctored for publication. And why is her looks even an issue.

Yeah, cheap shot, that.

[Spiffy]

And why is her looks even an issue.

To the world in general? It's not.

But if she's trying to pick up chicks? Even chicks can occasionally be shallow. It might matter to at least some of them. Although, to be fair, it may not mean squat to others. The world is filled with a variety of different standards.

It's not an issue in terms of her worth as a human being, actress mother, etc. It is shocking though to see the aging process effects on her if you had a thing for her twenty years and haven't seen her in anything since then.

I'm sure she's probably on Tom's sekrit enemeez list too, since the Scientumolgeests probably make sure he never even says her name, in fear of him being overloaded with all those "gay thetans" which might make him change his mind about stuff (for those who don't know, the Church of Scientology hates homosexuality, thanks to its founder L. Ron Hubbard being an ENORMOUS homophobe--which is triply ironic considering the long time rumors about several of its key celeb members).

Correct, now that she's lesbian, it's not an issue. She's got a new list of standards and beauty will be in the eye of the beholder. Also, most lesbians or BT's are called beautiful because to say otherwise is to be insensitive or judging by male dominated standards. Bad Form.

That being said, for everyone else who said things like they'd like to be in her "danger zone" or imagined singing "you've lost that loving feeling to her" or stripped her of her Amish bonnet, this is what she looks like now.

Unless you liked her for her personality. Which, in Witness and Top Gun, seemed to come off as compliant and easily seduced.

Another religion founded by a homophobe who perpetuates homophobia by using homophobic homosexuals?


I must be quiet, lest I awake the McEnery.

[titanfan]

h, she was dating woman in the 80s. this was well-known or at least i thought so i was surprised to see her stating this now,

Yeah, I thought she had a thing with Jodie Foster once. That's what I remember reading in the tabloids anyway!

[Village Idiot]

I am shocked to discover that anyone secretly gay was in Top Gun.

You are so cruel. :cool:

[MacQuarrie]

She was achingly beautiful in "Rueben, Rueben", her first major film role. And she wasn't compliant or easily seduced in that one.

[Lester C.]

Why are most lesbians called BT's?

[Solaris]

I'm happy for her.

I remember, shortly after Top Gun came out, reading an account of her rape. In this instance it was a stranger rape: two men broke into her apartment, woke her up and raped her.

That's a horrifying thing to try to move past and go on living. At the time of the article, she was still having panic attacks, etc.

I hope she finds someone to be happy with.

[Deathstroke]

Over on another board, the posters were saying it was about time she came out.

I thought to myself, why should she have to come out at all or come out on someone else's timetable?

[mgs]

I know, I thought this was odd as well, but then someone here mentioned the rape thing....sounds like she's had it tough for a while now.

Actually, I think she looks better here than in the past. I never thought she was much of a looker in her younger years.

nah, I mean, she looks alright in that pic, but she just never got my blood boiling.

A personal thing I guess. :smile:

Hunh. So it turns out the first mainstream film with a homosexual love scene is Top Gun.
