Gone Too Soon: Remembering Kirstie Alley
It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to actress and icon, Kirstie Alley. Known for her roles in “Cheers” and “Veronica’s Closet,” Alley left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. Her talent and infectious personality will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and fans all over the world.
A Life in Review
Kirstie Alley was born on January 12, 1951, in Wichita, Kansas. Before she became an actress, she worked as a receptionist and interior designer. Her big break came in 1982 when she landed the role of Lt. Saavik in “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.” However, it was Alley’s turn as Rebecca Howe on “Cheers” that catapulted her to stardom.
Alley won two Emmy Awards for her work on “Cheers” and went on to star in “Veronica’s Closet,” “Fat Actress,” and a number of other TV shows and movies. She was known for her wit, charm, and impeccable comedic timing, and her talent shone bright in every project she worked on.

Although Kirstie Alley’s time with us was sadly cut short, her legacy will continue to inspire and entertain audiences for generations to come. Her timeless performances and dedication to her craft will forever be remembered and celebrated. We are lucky to have been touched by her talent, humor, and grace, and her spirit will never be forgotten.
In conclusion, we extend our deepest condolences to Kirstie Alley’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. We will miss her greatly but take solace in the fact that she will always be with us through her incredible body of work.
