RIP Kirstie Alley

[mdmost 43001]

She had a pretty strong run in the late 80s through the 90s. I will always have a soft spot for her as Robin Bishop in the immortal high school classic, Summer School.

That’s somewhat of a shocking death. She seemed like a good person and I did enjoy watching her on Cheers. Rest in peace to her.

Wow

once she went full-bore insane scientologist nutjob she got a lot less interesting and attractive

oh well

[Gil Bang 25959]

Yeah, she was a fucking kook.  

[mdleast 8293]

Loved her in Summer School

[Hate 20108]

Damn…apparently she went pretty quickly. I too will always remember her from Summer School and Cheers. RIP.

Yeah, the Scientology was the problem. How about we say it was one of the problems?

God needed another beauty queen actress turned cuckoo. Janine Turner is on deck.

Would have been nice if she could have taken Travolta with her

I did not follow her personal life. What little I know about her seemed okay. She’s gone now and whatever she did in her life was her own business. Sometimes good people get mixed up in things they should not and by reading some the replies she apparently did. Passing away from cancer is pretty sad.

One of the better snl sketches. Rip

[TwiceHorn 31472]

She apparently stayed slim as she aged via a cocaine addiction, then got pretty seriously overweight.

Not judging, per se, but those things can put a lot of miles on you.

RIP.

The life lesson here is don't stop doing cocaine, kids.

If I remember correctly, Tom Petty also grabbed her tits during the ending monologue of that SNL episode.

I crushed on her big in the 80s. RIP Rebecca.

csb/ My late father had a thing for Kirstie Alley in the 80's/90's.  I think we all did.  Flash forward to early 2000's, and he's handling the interstate shipping for Pier 1 Imports.  They invite him down to Fort Worth for a board retreat and they promise that he gets to meet her.  He's giddy as hell.  Sometime between the invitation and the actual, in-person visit, she gets fired/let out of her endorsement contract.  But neither of us knew that.  He shows up to Texas from New York.  They walk him into a room and say, "For all your hard work, we'd like to introduce you to the new face of Pier 1 Imports!"  And in walks Thom Filicia, the Interior Designer from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."  My father was not amused. /csb

No offense to Thom, but when you're promised Kirstie Alley...nothing else will do.  She was a gem.  RIP Miss Howe.

Loved Cheers. I never understood the attraction. But different strokes and all.

Yeah, the 1990's Alley with the exotically alluring hot curves, sexy brunette appeal, scandalous smile, flinty voice, and big beautiful eyes.  I can't imagine why men would possibly be into her back then.  And to boot, she was funny as shit in an ensemble cast format.

He's more of a Carla Tortelli man.

i was going to say it's a shame she came from an era when we missed out on the "she'll be fat in ten years" "i want to bang her now not ten years from now" style surly discussions, but I think we're getting there

But did he get to say, "Does this mean Ann-Margret's Kirstie Alley's not coming?"

This thread made me go look up Mimi Rogers,

Only 66

[Texzilla58 4736]

Sad to see. She had a reality show about 10-15 years ago where she was struggling with weighr. She was a Jenny Craig spokesman then gained a hundred pounds then lost it again. Then gained it again.

She was a serious scientologist. She was a level 7 so don’t know if that gets you to the Xenu level. She was the only star from Cheers that never showed on Frasier. She refused numerous times to replay her character because Frasier was a psychiatrist.

I think when you’re a celebrity they spot you couple levels.  Kinda like how Elvis got his black belt.

I’m sure it had nothing to do with her 30 year smoking habit and doing enough cocaine to sponsor a sorority

My point was it probably would/should have been caught earlier.  I have 2 friends that have both been diagnosed with late stage cancer that are in the same boat.
