Agreed. She was visually arresting, fascinating, but too manly to be very attractive.

The 80s were a different time, guess you had to be there. There's no chance someone like Kelly McGillis could be cast as romantic lead with a Tom Cruise equivalent today. Many tv shows and movies from that time had leading ladies that would seem odd by todays standards. Hell, James freaking Bond had a sex scene with Grace Jones in the 80s!

haha that's true, I think they were going for the weird factor with Grace Jones though.
 
She was generally rumoured to be gay/bi and in the closet.

She's always been pretty secretive about her personal life ever since an ex-boyfriend sold a whole lot of intimate details about their relationship to a tabloid in the '80s.

She came out about 5 years ago.

No, she did not. By the way, some the comments here about her looks are just terrible. She is a gorgeous woman.

Agreed. Not sure how many times I've googled "gabriela sabatini" and its variants after the latest "Gabby has come out" gossip, but I've yet to see it confirmed. Not to mention that her sex life is none of our business and outing anyone without consent is a relic of the 20th century that refuses to die.

And manly jawbone or not I still think Gabby's a babe. Girl has aged like a fine Ugni Blanc!
