Top gun

Kelly McGillis will join the lovely ladies of “The L Word” in the new season as a guest star. The “Top Gun” and “Witness” star will play a military attorney involved in a “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” case. You know what this probably means, right? This means that Tasha could be at the center of some big military outing next year. On the plus side, maybe this means she won’t have to go to Iraq.

As for Kelly, her L Word role sounds like a perfect fit. First, she has experience playing a lawyer, in 1988’s “The Accused.“ Second, she has already gotten seriously Sapphic on screen, in 2000’s “The Monkey’s Mask.” And everybody already knows about her much-rumored on-set affair with Jodie Foster during filming of “The Accused,” right? Like I said, perfect.

OK, bear with me: I know this from a friend who has a friend who worked on The Accused as an assistant director.

This is what I was told: either Kelly or Jodie was having a relationship with Whitney Huston at the time. Kelly and Jodie had a fling/affair during the shoot; and when Whitney visited the set, there was a god-almighty fight which resulted in someone losing a tooth!:)

Now, how fiendishly typical a lesbian soap opera is that!

I still can't figure out to this day whether it's more likely that Whitney was having a scene with Kelly or Jodie...?!

...I think Kelly. Can't believe that Jodie's into Divas :)

Holy Cow.

The way I heard it was that Whitney and Kelly had a thing, and it was Whitney who came to the set and threatened Jodie w/physical violence to keep away. I didn't hear the losing a tooth version though.

I heard that Kelly threw a shoe at Jodie. I always imagined it was one of those femme heels she wore on the set.

I say darlings! What a revelation!

Makes one look at this in a whole new light!

'One of the things that has been a change in you since doing this film...'

'This filmed opened me up...', and with a small grin, '...to this vast well of experience that I'd been neglecting.'

The film or McGillis, Jodie you old dog you?!

PD

PS I think I must be the very last one to arrive to this particular party. Blame Brexit (people invariably do *sigh*), May-Bot, Trump, Covid and my dependable style! ;)
