Kelly McGillis mini-bio: Kelly McGillis (born July 9, 1957, in Newport Beach, California, U.S.) is an American actress, whose notable movies include Witness (for which she received a Golden Globe nomination), Top Gun, and The Accused.

In 2004 she appeared in the stage play The Graduate as Mrs. Robinson, touring the United States.

(In 2007) According to Variety, actress Kelly McGillis has just joined the cast of Showtime's The L Word for its upcoming fifth season. McGillis will play a military attorney working on a Don't Ask, Don't Tell case.

McGillis married Boyd Black in 1979, divorcing in 1981.

In 1982, McGillis and her roommate were assaulted and raped in their home by the escaped rapist Leroy Johnson after McGillis came home from work. This experience encouraged the actress to pursue her film role as the lawyer who supports Jodie Foster's character in The Accused. McGillis was originally approached for the role of the rape victim in that film. She turned it down, feeling it would be too close to her real life ordeal. The part eventually went to Jodie Foster, who won an Oscar for her performance.

She married Fred Tillman in 1989, and they had two daughters: Kelsey and Sonora. They divorced in 2002 and she is currently single.

She had owned a restaurant in Key West, Florida called Kelly's, that she and her ex-husband founded, but says she is "no longer a part of that restaurant at all," since her second divorce, according to a 2006 TV interview on Good Day Sacramento.
