From one uniform to another
It looks as though Kelly McGillis has traded Navy blue for Army green.
As I was watching the L Word last night, I did a double take when the prosecuting attorney in Tasha’s “don’ ask, don’t tell” case came on screen.
Immediately, I wondered … is that the blond bombshell from Top Gun who ignited every man’s (and lesbian’s) fantasy of having sex with an older woman who also happened to be an authority figure clad in a stark white Navy uniform.
Yes, it is.
This is the same woman that made Tom Cruise so weak in the knees that he purposely embarrassed himself by singing “You’ve lost that loving feeling” out loud in front of a crowded bar in a poor attempt (which worked by the way) at wooing her.
Back then, Kelly McGillis’ looks would have even caused me to throw myself at her knees with some crappy karaoke performance. She was that hot.
These days however, she’s looking a little worse for the wear. I’m not sure if that’s part of her character, but man … they made her look like a frumpy old military commander all right.
I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the case. But it looks as though Alice is going to be forced to testify. We’ll see if she coughs up any top secret homosexual information as quickly as she did on her new fake talk show, “The Look.”
Secretly I’m hoping that Kelly McGillis’ character is really an ol’ “G” in the lesbian hood and that she’s just been keeping it on the down low all these years. Regardless, I hope the next role she takes on is a little less unflattering.

[...] Lez Keep It Real discusses the addition of Kelly MgGillis to the group, playing the army lawyer who is prosecuting Tasha. She’s a real hard-ass on screen, and has a great past as a military gal in real life. [...]
