While Alley will likely be best remembered for her iconic and award-winning performance as Rebecca Hall on the all-time great sitcom, Cheers, she also had a long career that spanned decades worth of stellar performances. In this video, we’re taking a look at the response from Alley’s children upon her passing, as well as a look back on her storied career. We trace her early days in Kansas, how she left school to move to Los Angeles and seek a better life, but how her initial goals were not to be a famous actress. Yet, her talent and on-screen presence proved undeniable, as she had a fairly swift rise up in the mid to late 1980s. But in the 1990s, she was a bonified star, beginning with her turn in the hit comedy, Summer School. Then she was cast to replace Shelley Long on Cheers, and that turned her into a household name.
But the time she starred opposite her lifelong friend and fellow Scientologist, John Travolta, in Look Who’s Talking (and its sequels) she was a bona fide star. Alley also found success as a TV spokesperson for brands like Pier One and Jenny Craig, and in more recent years had dipped into the world of reality competitions like Dancing With The Stars. Alley will be missed by her many fans, friends, and family members. But we’ll all have her stellar body of work to look back on and remember her fondly. So check out this video, as Facts Verse presents: RIP Kirstie Alley, Who dies at 71 After a Secret Cancer Battle.
