Said that's the reason she wasn't asked to be in, Top Gun: Maverick. (FWST, 1-8-19)

Kinda sad. I would have thought maybe she'd be asked to make a cameo? Along with Joker and Viper?

Do you think she deserved a chance?

She profited from being young and attractive. Did she complain about it then?

If Tom Cruise had been old and fat and looked age-appropriate, he wouldn't be in the movie either.

This is roughly what the movie would look like with her and Tom today.

If they were to keep them together in the new movie everybody would be wondering why Maverick is with a grandma.

Its amazing how bad she looks now. I know she stated old and fat, but she has completely let herself go to the point of no return. And her age-appropriate comment is spurious. Many actors still look great in their 60s.

No judgement on her, she is absolutely entitled to do and look like whatever she wants to.

But Tom Cruise works his ass off to stay in better shape than most twenty somethings, which is why he's still an action megastar in his mid 50s.

Hell, even Ann-Margret in Grumpy and Grumpier Old men. Granted, there's some extra work being done there but still.

Because Maverick is old enough to be grandpa.

Make no mistake. When that pic of her was taken I still would have smashed it with the hammer of the gods. She don't look like that anymore though.

From a story point of view Maverick and Charlie staying together wasnt realistic. It's like if they made a sequel to knocked up. No way Seth Rogan's character ends up with Katherine Heigls character long term or married . While the original story is somewhat plausible those 2 ending up together long term is not.

WTF?!?

She was easily about 10 years too old for him in that movie so it was strange casting in that vein, but to pretend like she wasn't hot? GTFOH.

Agreed. She had no chemistry with Cruise whatsoever (though not many women do), but this appearance alone is one of the sexiest sex-less scenes of the '80s. She was iconic in this scene. And not a single person in this thread would turn down this woman, at this age, in this scenario, if she was ready and willing...

LOFL. I'd love to see the 10's you're banging on the reg. You'd JIYP if a chick that looked like that gave you the time of day.

Fun fact, these two scenes were shot after test screenings. Audiences wanted to see Cruise actually close the deal, along with more flirting. However, McGillis had already died her hair for her next role, and Cruise's hair was longer, as he was in the middle of filming The Color of Money. So the sex scene was shot in silhouette, then McGillis wore a hat to cover her hair in the elevator, and Cruise draped a towel around his neck to hide his longer hair...

my GF i took to the movie in the 80's was MUCH MUCH hotter than she ever was.

3/4 of my daughters friends are ALL hotter than she ever was. (all early 30's now... only a little creepy)
