Kirstie Alley Biography |
||
Short BiographyIn high school Alley was a cheerleader. She was a cokehead for two years after dropping out of college, and says it took her a month to drive from Kansas to California, because she had to find sources and buy drugs all along the way. She played a Vulcan in her first film, Star Trek II. Kirstie Alley`s first series was Masquerade in 1983, with Greg Evigan and Rod Taylor, wherein Alley kept a watchful eye on novice spies.In 1987, she replaced Shelley Long on Cheers until the bar was closed in 1993. From 1997-2000 she was in the lingerie business on Veronica`s Closet with Kathy Najimy. After that show was cancelled, Alley ballooned up, becoming the butt of innumerable fat jokes. Unlike others, though, Alley laughed along, even starring as herself in the aptly named reality/sitcom Fat Actress. In 2006, after a year on the Jenny Craig diet, she showed off her no-longer-fat body in a bikini on Oprah. Alley is the only surviving cast member from Cheers who never visited Kelsey Grammer on his spin-off Frasier. Biography Credit: www.nndb.com/people/542/000023473/ |
