Anniversary Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman: rumors of homosexuality, infidelity and a bitter dispute over their 325 million
While
Tom Cruise's
(Maverick)
career
took off at the same speed as fighter planes after the premiere of
Top Gun: Idols of the Air
(1986), that of his protagonist and fictional girlfriend,
Kelly McGillis
(Charlie),
fell in auger.
In the 1980s, when the actress was on her way to becoming one of the biggest names in the industry, she suddenly went out
of style.
After several delays caused by the pandemic, this summer
the sequel,
Top Gun: Maverick
, in whose story 35 years later McGillis has been
replaced by Jennifer Connelly, will be released.
The original interpreter had no qualms about confessing on Entertainment Tonight that the producers had not contacted her and threw a dart against the stereotypical beauty canons of Hollywood:
"I'm too old, I'm fat, I look my age
and this it is not suitable for this montage (...) I prefer to feel absolutely safe in my skin, to know who and what I am than to value other things ".
She currently
lives in North Carolina where she is a drama teacher
and helps in a rehabilitation clinic for women with addictions, since she experienced
the effect of drugs
on her own flesh
.
His professional decline has paralleled the emotional one because he has not been successful with his love relationships.
She was divorced twice and has two daughters,
Kelsey Lauren (30) and Sonora Ashley (27), the result of her relationship with her last husband, millionaire Fred Tillman.
After many rumors speculating about her true sexual identity, McGillis was brave enough to
publicly confess her lesbianism.

For this reason, in 2010 he decided to take another big important step in his life
by marrying the real estate executive Melanie Leis,
whom he would divorce a year later.
Interestingly, the two already knew each other because Leis worked as a waitress at the restaurant that McGillis and Tillman owned in Florida.
As a result of opening his heart wide,
the rape he suffered in 1982
with his roommate who, later, was discovered to be his girlfriend
,
came to light
.
This tragic event motivated her to accept the role of lawyer in
Acusados
(1989), which earned Jodie Foster the first Oscar.
Fame had ill effects on her.
He suffered from panic attacks, dissatisfaction, insecurity ...
So he decided to wake up from that golden dream, follow the course of nature with the kilos and wrinkles typical of time and feel free.
The tyranny of beauty does not go with her or with Kathleen Turner.
