Personal life

McGillis married Boyd Black in 1979, divorcing in 1981.
In 1982, McGillis and her roommate were assaulted and raped in their home by the escaped rapist Leroy Johnson after McGillis came home from work. This experience encouraged the actress to pursue her film role as the lawyer who supports Jodie Foster's character in ''The Accused''. McGillis was originally approached for the role of the rape victim in that film. She turned it down, feeling it would be too close to her real life ordeal. The part eventually went to Jodie Foster, who won an Oscar for her performance
She married Fred Tillman in in 1989, and they had two daughters: Kelsey and Sonora. They divorced in 2002 and she is currently single.
She owns a restaurant in Key West, Florida called Kelly's, that she and her ex-husband founded.
