Kelly McGillis, who played Tom Cruise's love interest in "Top Gun," claims she wasn't asked to reprise her role in the sequel "Top Gun: Maverick."
In the 1986 original, McGillis' character, Charlotte "Charlie" Blackwood, is not only Maverick's lover, she's also his flight instructor.
Entertainment Tonight asked the actress if she'd attend any of the film's promotional events, and she was diplomatic yet candid in her response, admitting, "I don't know how to answer that because one, it hasn't happened. Two, if and when it did happen, I would have to assess where I am, what I'm doing, what's going on ... I can't project what I would or wouldn't do in the future. I have no idea because I don't know where I'll be."
She added that she hasn't even seen the trailer for the sequel, noting "Movies are odd things. I don't really keep in touch with anybody. I think I've spoken to a couple of people occasionally, but the truth is, movies are very odd work situations because you have a lot of people who come together from all different parts of the world."
Jennifer Connelly has a role in the upcoming "Top Gun: Maverick," though it's unclear what part she'll play. If she's going to be Cruise's paramour in the popcorn flick, McGillis isn't bitter about it.
McGillis, 62, says she left Hollywood entirely in order to get healthy physically and psychologically.

“They should have given her some kind of part, even if a very minor one.”
As a putzfrau.
My point is that, if you don’t personally know a person, your opinion about her has to be superficial.
“The Truth” is a thing with a lot of ... variance.
“She was pretty but most people go down after they turn 60.”
Damned if I can find one that will go down after 60...or any other age for that matter.
Boy, yah. No.
He does. One of the unwritten rules.
Perhaps....I find her conservatism, realism, intelligence, quick wit, take no crap from anyone attitude quite sexy.
She’s also a great cook from what I’ve read.
So I gather what you’re actually saying is that any attraction one might experience concerning the opposite sex whether it be for physical or mental appeal if you don’t have a personal relationship with them is superficial.
OK.
“My point is that, if you don’t personally know a person, your opinion about her has to be superficial.”
But, if you take your point through to it’s obvious inference one would have to reason that your opinion of say Donald Trump is “superficial” as you do not have a personal relationship with him. (assuming you don’t)
Yes, that’s basically what I’m saying. If you don’t actually, personally, in real life, know the person, it’s superficial.
“Attractive” is always superficial, unless you’re in a real-life relationship with the person. I don’t know Donald Trump. I don’t know Tom Selleck or any other actor. My view of them, positive or negative, is superficial.
When I thought Tom Selleck was hurts-your-heart gorgeous, it was superficial. Now, when I think he’s past his prime, it’s superficial.
DUH!
Actually I’m not disagreeing only trying to determine that your point was indeed stating the obvious. It appears as though it was...hence my OK.
I’m known for my super obvioushood. Obviousness. Whatever.

Thanks. They’re old pictures. Kathleen is 7 now.
Noooooo!!!!
What did she say. By the way ...I agree with you.
“Carbs. People don’t know the damage they cause.”
I was going to note that...it’s all there to see, if people have the COURAGE to face the truth. Right now most don’t because 99% of ‘professionals’ are telling them outright falsehoods (such as some carbs are better than others - not true, not even close to true)...either knowingly or not.
