Kelly McGillis on her life outside of actingKelly McGillis is not an easy star to interview. Ask her how she prepared for her latest role as a nun suffering a crisis of faith in the new film "Stake Land," and she will tell you she didn't. As for how people have responded to her since she came out as a lesbian last year, she says has no idea because she pays it no attention. According to McGillis, she just lives her life."I don't care about what people's reactions are," McGillis said. "I've spent too much of my life caring. That's why I kept my mouth shut." The actress who broke out in the 1980s via starring roles in "Witness" and "Top Gun" now stars as a nun in the vampire film "Stake Land," an IFC movie which is currently in theaters and on demand. She also worked in the film "The Inn Keepers," and says she still enjoys her craft. "I love acting," she said. "It's my first love and my joy, but I'm 54 and I'm at a point where I've really been looking at my life and saying what else is it that I want to achieve before I leave this planet?" The actress – who had her struggles with addiction in the past – works at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in her home state of New Jersey. She said she loves the work. "I really have a yearning to live a life of loving service to God and to others and I thought it was a way I could give back and be of greater service to others beyond just acting," she said. "It's really incredible to see others change their lives and to give them hope." McGillis said she would love to take a spiritual pilgrimage to India, travel and spend more time with her grandchildren. But if that doesn't happen, she is perfectly happy, she said. "I've lived a full, adventurous and wacky life and I'm very grateful for that," she said. "I'm very content right now."

wish she was doing better. i sure would have stayed in key west if it had been me. it is an incredible place except for the naval base there. those squids need to go back to wherever they came from.
saw her Key West home when I was on vacation there in 1991. quite the opposite of Jersey !
AND SAVE THE BALES ! . . . .conch humor . . . : )
For years she owned and ran KELLYS CARRIBEAN. It was a great restaurant bar down in Key West. Back about 1995 she originally came out as a lesbian, announced she was officially retired from acting, and was going to spend the rest of her days living in peace in Key West. What happened ? It sure sounded like a wonderful life she gave up to move to new jersey. WE MISS KELLTS CARRIBEAN BAR AND GRILL ! SAVE THE ALES !

Love the hairdo and look in her photo. Glad she is content and doing well. She is a favorite in our house.
She looks like a nurse I once knew that liked to be pee pee on.
