Kristie Alley of CHEERS, STAR TREK II, LOOK WHO'S TALKING and More Passes Away at 71
Kirstie Alley has passed away at the age of 71 after a battle with cancer. I’ve actually been rewatching Cheers lately and that is easily one of my favorite things that Alley was a part of. But, she also starred in film projects such as Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Look Who’s Talking, and Village of the Damned, along with shows like The Goldbergs, Scream Queens, The Middle, and more.
Alley’s family released a statement saying, "We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered.”
She was "surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead."
I enjoyed Alley’s work, and it’s sad to hear that she died. Our condolences go out to all of her family and friends.
