Sarah Parish - Charlie
As Charlie, Sarah Parish had to recreate the iconic bar scene where Maverick attempts to serenade her with a rendition of You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling.

Parish said she's giving us "a near-perfect impression of the great Kelly McGillis" and that while filming, "tongue jousting with Keith was both funny and alarming in equal measures!" Lovely.
