Kirstie Alley passed away today at the age of 71, according to her children. “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. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother,” True and Lilly Parker wrote.
“Our mother’s zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did.”
She lived life to the fullest when she was acting on Cheers, Fat Actress, and Veronica’s Closet, and in movies like the Look Who’s Talking franchise, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Summer School, Madhouse, and For Richer and Poorer, to name a few.
Today, let’s remember her by watching her work and laughing with and at her.

Rest?!? No! She’s going to be meeting up with L. Ron Hubbard (and Kelly Preston). Hopefully John Travolta will be following soon!
