Kirstie Alley

Kirstie Alley is an actress best known for her role as "Rebecca Howe" on the hit mid-1980s-early 1990s sitcom Cheers.

Kirstie Alley was born on January 12, 1951 in Wichita, Kansas. Alley attended Kansas State University and the University of Kansas for a short time, dropping out during her sophomore year to pursue an acting career. Her first TV appearances were on game shows - in 1979 she appeared on Match Game and won $6,000, and in 1980 she appeared on Password Plus.

Alley's first major role was as supporting role in the hit 1982 movie, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, where she played Lieutenant Saavik. Star Trek II was a major hit and Alley was offered a role in Star Trek III, which she turned down when the producers failed to meet her salary demands.

Alley later had a major role in the popular TV miniseries about the Civil War, North and South. Alley also had minor roles in other movies and TV shows throughout the mid-1980s until she was cast in her career-defining role as Rebecca Howe, the manager of the Cheers bar on the sitcom, Cheers.

Fans of Cheers liked Alley's character on Cheers - she was a very attractive woman and definitely had acting abilities and comedic talent. Alley won an Emmy for her role in 1991. Alley co-starred on Cheers from 1987 until the series finale in 1993.

While Alley was on Cheers, she also found time to appear in several popular major motion pictures, including Shoot to Kill, Look Who's Talking, and Look Who's Talking Too.

After Cheers went off the air in 1993 Alley continued acting in minor roles on various TV shows and movies through the mid-late 1990s. In 1997 she was cast in the starring role of Veronica's Closet, a sitcom about the head of a lingerie company. Veronica's Closet ran for three seasons, until its cancellation in 2000.

After the cancellation of Veronica's Closet, Alley cut back on acting a little bit and turned to the other passion in her life - greasy and fatty foods. Although once known as one of the sexiest actresses on TV, Alley tarnished her image by adding at least 100 lbs of pure fat to her body, becoming a morbidly obese woman and reportedly topping the scales at over 300 lbs. Her fans were shocked and saddened to see her so overweight.

Alley, however, maintained a good nature and decided to do something about her appearance - she starred in the 2005 mockumentary, Fat Actress, a sitcom inspired by real events in Alley's life. Alley also became the spokeswoman for Jenny Craig and kept to a strict diet between 2004 - early 2008 when she was fired for being too fat. During her reign as spokeswoman, Alley kept to a strict diet, eventually trimming down to 145 lbs at one point.

However, after being fired as spokeswoman, Alley stopped exercising and pigged out on food once again and has admitted that she has gained 83 lbs since early 2008.




Kirstie Alley is apparently addicted to Hostess Ho-Ho's and Ding Dongs, and almost certainly purchases 2-lb bags of M&M's and cuts open the bags and pours all of the M&M's directly into her open mouth. Although Kirstie Alley has had a very successful acting careers, the fact that she morphed from one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood into a morbidly obese hog means that Kirstie Alley is one washed-up celebrity!

Finally, a new entry and what a great one it is. Keep them coming!

Rhett said...

I still like Kirstie, and I hope she comes back around. I caught "The Wrath of Khan" recently and I think she was amazing in it. She was and is really talented. We love you, Rebecca!

Michelle said...

Her fashion sense isn't great either.

JustJenny said...

She is pretty awesome. She was good in that Mary Kate and Ashley movie. Poor thing. I bet she just wants to burrow down in a hole somewhere and make friends with the squirrels and twinkies. I would hate being followed by those damn/skillful paparazzi.
I however take joy in watching others' downfalls.

Almost as fat as Tina Yothers fans, and that is pretty fat!!

Good entry, but still like her anyhow.

Did she eat some of her former cast members?

Dude - she's a Scientologist.

How could you leave that out?

I actually met Ms. Alley once. It was in the early 2000s when she had put a lot of the weight back on. She was extremely nice. I told her how I loved her on Cheers and she got a kick out of the fact that I remembered her in the Tom Selleck flick Runaway. She thanked me and got into her '74 Pinto. When she sat down, all four tires simultaneously exploded. She screamed, "MOTHERFUCKER!!" in that clever, girlish way of hers then drove off on the rims, leaving a dainty trail of sparks as she headed across the parking lot to the Fatburger drive-in.

I can still hear her delicate, Lucky Strike-rasped voice saying, "GIMME A DOZEN WITH CHEESE, BITCH!"

Fond memories.

I started reading Ignor Neigh's comment, thinking he was serious, then it slowly got good. Damn, I had a good laugh.

Nat Jay said...

This is a clinical case of fall from grace. I really loved her roles and acting over the 80's and 90's... Sad she's turned out this way.

I don't get how people get so fat. Weird. I mean most people in America today are overweight but when you get "Morbidly obese" that is a horse of a different color. If I eat too much I get bad gas pain can you imagine the shit episodes you get after eating bags ansd bags of M&Ms? Her teeth are probably rotting off also.

So sad, she took a tumble. However, she got right back up and danced quite well. She did well the week before too. Good for her.

I saw on Entertainment Tonight that she lost 100 pounds and is a size four.

She's now the Poise Fairy to teach women about products that protect you from the piss that leaks out of you when you laugh. You can see the commercial here:

She went from Howe to a COW!!!
Looks like a smaller, thinner more feminine version of Rosie O'Donnell. Except she don't have a five o'clock shadow.
Oink Oink Rosie, Oink Oink

Realvicious said...

Boy, if she was 500 pounds heavier and had a moustache bug eyes and a huge head, I'd mistake her for Rosie" Chicago Hates Me!" O'Donnell.
Yes Rosie, and her lovers, its me, Realvicious, back from the IMDB ban and as obnoxious as ever !!!
OINK OINK Rosie. OINK OINK.

@Igor Neigh
I barely missed meeting Kirstie at her cousins house in 1974 or 1975.
I parked a limousine across the street from her cousin Roddy in Canoga Park, Ca.
He came over and said Kirstie as just left in her beat up Pinto.
This is the first time I have seen anyone else write about that Pinto.

Even though Kristie is old and heavy like my chevy, I would still pound her fat butt!

I want to bugger Kirstie Alley (as the bird was in 1969 when the bird was 18, not as the bird is now obviously).

BOTR said...

She's going to be on Dancing With the Stars' All-Star season in the fall. Supposedly she's gained most of the weight she lost the last time she's on the show, which I'm sure Conan O'Brien will joke about when the time comes.

Anonymous said...

She's lost the weight that she had once gained. She's really on a roller coaster, I hope she stabilizes the weight.

Anonymous said...

As someone who's also been on the diet roller coaster, I wish Ms. Alley all the luck in the world. It's hard to stay in good shape in one's 40's and 50's.

What a spiteful little creep you are. A bunch of has-beens being kicked when they're down by an inarticulate, semi-literate never-was with too much time on their hands

i'd love to dress as ted danson while i stuff huge vegetables in kirstie's orifices and afterwards i can feed her same vegetables as a healthy alternative to her regular helping of hohos and doritos. afterwards i we can read excerpts from dianetics while i use the rest of the pages to wipe my ass and use as a gag for kirstie to muffle her cries while i pummel her poopshoot into oblivion. if she is still craving after that i will shoot my protein filled load in her mouth.

I'm into big chicks. They work harder because they know. They say they don't but they do. You know what I mean.

Stuart Lorimer said...

Kirsty wil always be a beautiful lady no matter what size or age. She has an ageless face and never hides from the world showing a person who is content within themselves. I would love to meet her just to let her know how much I have enjoyed her work over the years and yes I am male but come on she is beautiful

You totally ignored the whole Scientology angle. Endless material there.

Aged fat rolls are a real turn on.

Kirstie still owes the Mexican Mafia a couple of grand for all of the corn tortillas with GMOs that they smuggled into the country for her.

Veronica's secret is one of those sitcoms that just sank into the television abyss.
