Top Gun is one of the cult films of the eighties. While Tom Cruise made women's hearts beat faster, Kelly McGillis turned male viewers' heads as instructor "Charlotte 'Charlie' Blackwood". The pretty blonde was one of THE stars of the decade and starred in numerous successful films such as Witness, alongside Harrison Ford and Accused, alongside Jodie Foster.
