Who is Kelly McGillis? Net Worth, Partner, Biography

Virginia Joan (Snell), a stay-at-home mother, and Donald Manson McGillis, a general practitioner of medicine, welcomed Kelly Ann McGillis into the world in Newport Beach, California. She is descended from German, English, Welsh, and Scots-Irish people. In order to pursue an acting career, McGillis dropped out of high school and enrolled at the Juilliard School in Manhattan and the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Monica, California. Before landing a supporting role in the Academy Award-nominated Reuben, Reuben, she worked a variety of jobs while pursuing her career, including waitressing (1983). As a result, she received a lot of TV work and landed the lead role in the critically acclaimed thriller Witness opposite Harrison Ford (1985). She gained attention in Hollywood thanks to this box office success, which was directed by Peter Weir, and producers took notice of her. One of them was Jerry Bruckheimer, who gave her a significant amount of name recognition by casting her as Charlie Blackwood in the blockbuster Top Gun (1986), which went on to become the year’s highest-grossing movie. Ironically, her career didn’t benefit from that breakthrough role in terms of high-profile work. In The Accused (1988), she costarred with Jodie Foster, who received an Academy Award for the role of prosecutor Kathryn Murphy. Unfortunately for McGillis, no major nominations were given to her. She refused to pursue a career in show business even after becoming a major star in the middle to end of the 1980s, playing a variety of stage roles in plays by William Shakespeare like “The Merchant of Venice,” “Don Juan,” “Twelfth Night,” “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” “Mourning Becomes Electra,” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” She was cast in the lead role of “Hedda Gabler” on Broadway in 1994, but sadly the show only ran for 33 performances before it closed. In order to spend more time with her family and run her own business, a restaurant in Florida, she had two daughters in the early 1990s and worked on TV and film less frequently. She contributed to a number of made-for-TV movies as well as Winter People (1989), Cat Chaser (1989), The Babe (1992), North (1994), At First Sight (1999), and The Monkey’s Mask (2000). She played the infamous Mrs. Robinson in a national tour of “The Graduate” on stage, and she is still acting as she starts a study of addiction studies and takes care of her children in Pennsylvania.
