SHE was once one of Hollywood’s most desirable leading ladies after starring opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun, but these days you'd do well to recognise Kelly McGillis.
The 64-year-old played Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell's flight instructor and love interest, Charlie Blackwood, in the original 1986 movie - but won’t be in the sequel out later this month.
Mum-of-two Kelly, who took a big step back from Hollywood at the height of her fame, has ditched her trademark blonde locks and swapped a glamorous wardrobe for casual baggy trousers and T-shirts.
She has endured more than her fair share of heartache, including two disastrous marriages before coming out as gay in 2010. At the time Kelly opened up about a harrowing gang-rape ordeal when she was 24, which she became convinced was a "punishment" from God for her sexuality.
