Personal life:

McGillis was born in Newport Beach, California, the daughter of Joan, a homemaker, and Donald McGillis, a general practitioner of medicine. She married Boyd Black in 1979, divorcing in 1981. She married Fred Tillman in 1989, and they had two daughters: Kelsey and Sonora. The couple divorced in 2002.

In 1982, McGillis was assaulted and raped in her own home. This experience encouraged the actress to pursue her film role as the lawyer who supports Jodie Foster's character in The Accused.

McGillis once owned Kelly's, a restaurant in Key West, Florida, that she and her ex-husband founded. Although the restaurant is still open, she says she is "no longer a part of that restaurant at all" since her second divorce, according to a 2006 TV interview on Good Day Sacramento.

McGillis came out as a lesbian in April 2009 during an interview with SheWired.com, an LGBT-oriented web site. She said that coming to terms with her sexual orientation has been an ongoing process since age 12, and she was long convinced that God was punishing her for being gay. In 2010, Kelly McGillis entered into a civil union at a ceremony in Collingswood, New Jersey with Melanie Leis, a Philadelphia based sales executive; she and McGillis met in 2000 when Leis was a bartender at a restaurant in Key West, Florida which McGillis owned with her second husband, Fred Tillman. The couple live in Collingswood.






McGillis works full-time with drug addicts and alcoholics at Seabrook House, a rehabilitation center in Bridgeton, New Jersey.
