Talk:Kelly McGillis

message: I removed the following text:
"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 5'10" actress to pursue her role as the lawyer who supports Jodie Foster's character in The Accused."
I don't know whether or not any of this is correct, but the only reference I can find to "Leroy Johnson" is a Medal of Honor recipient. If I am mistaken, by all means correct it.
:How about these?     I think I'll put that information back on basis on several independent news sources. I would be happy if a more original source could be found though. -- Northgrove 22:16, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Btw, I'm not sure about the encouragement as a lawyer actor though, and will add a  tag for that though. Until she's quoted talking about this, it could just as well be a freak coincidence? -- Northgrove 22:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

message: She is clearly an inch shorter than Cruise, and Cruise is listed on IMDb as 5"7', so her height of 5"10' is clearly impossible unless Cruise was standing on something four inches high during their love scene.  Obviously that would be so ridiculously humiliating that Cruise would not tolerate it.  I mean, FOUR INCHES?!!  That's the height of a house brick ... and then some!
Also, in case you had forgotten, Maverick feels the need ... the need for sex with men! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.50.228.5 (talk) 10:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That movie was made before Tom Cruise got famous, so clearly he had not that much influence in the choice of his partner. He wouldn't have been the first actor to stand on something to appear larger. The same source that you cite for his height (Imdb) also says that McGillis is 5"10'. And don't forget that both his two ex-wives and his current wife are larger than him, so it seems that he can handle his below average height. -- CecilK 06:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

text: And actually, the difference between 5'7 and 5'10 was, last time I looked, three inches not four, or about seven centimeters. That is still a sizeable difference, but the one further inch would make it a much more sizeable one.--2001:A61:2082:4701:44D9:D757:E5F9:9826 (talk) 16:24, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a good story with real citations that explain this?  After all, it was Top Gun that made her career.  Why didn't she get to be in the movie.  I do not know, and I'm not being a "D".  I'm literally asking if someone knows, and should this not be in this article?  Because I really would like to know as a fan of the original movie.

replies: text: She gave an interview about it, you can search it.. youtube and I don't know what other platforms will have it. Of course, its her opinion only, Tom and the studios won't say a word. 12.53.232.146 (talk) 18:59, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Hi.  Actually you can see a flash of her for less than a second in a scene in a bar from the first movie. Was that left in by accident . Has it now been deleted ? If not did she get any money ? Earle Blanton 173.23.18.167 (talk) 16:25, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
