Whatever happened to Charlie Blackwood? The absence of Kelly McGillis from "Top Gun: Maverick" sparked a debate about ageism in Hollywood and her choice to embrace a life away from the silver screen. As fans geared up for the long-awaited sequel, many wondered why McGillis, who played the iconic role of Charlie, Maverick's love interest and a formidable instructor at Topgun, wasn't reprising her role alongside Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer.
Kelly McGillis etched her name in Hollywood history with her portrayal of Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood in the 1986 blockbuster, "Top Gun." Her character, an astrophysicist and Topgun instructor, not only captivated Maverick's heart but also challenged the norms of a male-dominated environment. The on-screen chemistry between McGillis and Cruise was undeniable, fueling the film's success and solidifying her status as a leading actress. However, the actress has also starred in various movies such as Rachel Lapp in witness (1985), The house on carroll street (1988), and as katheryn murphy in the accused (1988).
