Loved her on Cheers, though I was more a Shelley Long fan.

"The Hitchhiker" was a pretty funky series back in its day.  R.I.P.

RIP.   She was in a ton of stuff but I'll def remember her the most from her work on Cheers 

[PastaJoe]

Made her debut as the Vulcan Saavak in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.

RIP

 

it's funny we remember actors differently. @PastaJoe posted how she was in Star Trek. I immediately remember from that movie now that he mentioned it

 

But my immediate thought? she used to represent Jenny Craig in TV commercials/media.  Her weight loss journey.  Kirstie Alley had a lot of fans and my condolences to her friends family and fans.

She was also in a movie (cam't remember the name) with Tom Selleck as a cop  and Gene Simmons (w/o Kiss makeup) as the villain.

Oh and a hearty ***** YOU to Cancer. I'll just add that thought for humanities sake.

RIP. Mostly remember her from Cheers.

[The Jokeman]

I remember her fondly in the movie Summer School and of course Cheers. I was a little shocked that she was 71 as thought she was much younger.

Saavik (I).  It would be illogical to be less than accurate. 🖖🏽

Before any roles she was a contestant on Match Game.

Yeah, I was a huge Cheers fan when it was on.  When Shelley Long left, it took me a little while to embrace Rebecca.  But Kirstie Alley really did do a tremendous job with the role and the show didn't suffer one bit.  RIP.

Watching 'Rebecca' try to crawl her way up the corporate ladder was amusing.  Still say her best line delivered was "Malone, you are a dead man!"

"Sammy is a dead man!  Sammy is a dead man!"
