Kelly McGillis ties the knot in Collingswood

Kelly McGillis, co-star of such iconic movies as 'Top Gun and Philly-favorite Witness, lives a quiet life in Collingswood in South Jersey. She enjoys life far from the glitz of Hollywood.

Actress Kelly McGillis, who came out last year, tied the knot with her partner, Melanie Leis, a sales executive, last week in a civil union ceremony in Collingswood, as reported in the New York Times.

The Top Gun and Witness star, married twice before, told The Inquirer's Carrie Rickey over the summer about her low-key life in Camden County.

The Times says the two met when Leis was a bartender at a restaurant in Key West, Fla., that McGillis owned with her second husband, Fred Tillman.

McGillis was honored in June by QFest.

If Tom Cruise was on a routine training mission in the beginning of the film, why did he have a camera with him? (When he took the picture of the Soviet plane.)
