Tom Cruise’s first wife Mimi Rogers cut a glamorous and radiant figure when she surfaced in Los Angeles in a rare recent sighting.

Rogers was married to Cruise from 1987 to 1990, and during the time they were together she reportedly brought him into the fold of Scientology.

She herself had a Scientologist upbringing, as her father was friends with L Ron Hubbard and was an early member of the church, but she has since left the religion.

After her split from Cruise, who is six years her junior, the The Rapture actress gave a bombshell interview and made a scathing claim about their sex life.

‘Tom was seriously thinking of becoming a monk,’ she told Playboy. ‘And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument.’

Now 70 years old, Rogers was seen stepping out in sunny California, her still willowy frame draped in a flowing print blouse and white trousers.

Wearing her luxurious dark hair down, the Lost in Space actress sharpened her winning features with makeup and accessorized with a large set of shades.

Rogers’ work includes the 1996 release The Mirror Has Two Faces, in which her sister was played by the movie’s director Barbra Streisand, her mother was played by Lauren Bacall and her husband was played by Pierce Brosnan.

She acted with Michael Keaton in Ron Howard’s 1986 picture Gung Ho, and with Mickey Rourke and Anthony Hopkin’s in Michael Cimino’s 1990 film Desperate Hours.

Cruise and Rogers met in 1985 – when he was 23 and she 29 – and they married in secret in 1987 in the presence of only two guests, Cruise’s mother Mary Lee Pfeiffer and his best man Emilio Estevez of The Mighty Ducks fame.

During their brief union, Cruise became involved in Scientology via Rogers, whose father and first husband had both been members of the religion.

The marriage was subject to constant scrutiny over their age gap and the fact that he was astronomically more famous than she was.

Cruise and Rogers split in 1989 just two days before he started filming Days of Thunder, on the set of which he rebounded with his co-star and eventual next wife Nicole Kidman, according to his unauthorized biographer Andrew Morton.

After her separation from Cruise – who remains the most famous Scientologist worldwide – Rogers is said to have left the religion along with her father, who was reportedly declared a ‘suppressive person’ by the organization.

Then in 1993 she gave an infamous Playboy interview in which she explained why her marriage ended and shot down the public perception of their split.

‘Is that the story, that I was bored with that child and threw him over, chewed him up and spat him out? Well, here’s the real story,’ she said.

‘Tom was seriously thinking of becoming a monk. At least for that period of time, it looked as though marriage wouldn’t fit into his overall spiritual need. And he thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument.’

Her own ‘instrument,’ she added, ‘needed tuning.’

She met her third and current husband, producer Chris Ciaffa, in 1990 and exchanged vows with him at a Beverly Hills courthouse in 2003, by which point they had already welcomed their two children – Lucy, 31, and Charlie, 24.

In recent years fans have been able to watch her on the Amazon police procedurals Bosch and Bosch: Legacy, led by Lost and Deadwood star Titus Welliver.
