Kirstie Alley
Kirstie Louise Alley (born January 12, 1951) is an American actress and comedian known for her role in the TV show Cheers, in which she played Rebecca Howe from 1987–1993, winning an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award as the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 1991. She is also known for her role in the thriller Shoot to Kill and the Look Who's Talking film series as Mollie Ubriacco. More recently, Alley has appeared in reality shows revolving around her life.
Kirstie Alley was born in Wichita, Kansas, the daughter of Lillian Mickie (née Heaton), a homemaker, and Robert Deal Alley, who owned a lumber company. Alley is of Irish descent. She has two siblings, Colette and Craig. Alley attended Wichita Southeast High School, graduating in 1969. She attended college at Kansas State University in 1969. In 1981, a car accident caused by a drunk driver killed her mother and left her father seriously injured. Her father eventually recovered. Kirstie came to Los Angeles to work as an interior designer and appeared as a contestant on the popular game show Match Game, where she won multiple games. She also appeared on the game show Password Plus in 1980.
Alley made her movie debut in 1982 in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, playing the Vulcan Starfleet officer Lieutenant Saavik. In 1989, Alley starred in Look Who's Talking alongside John Travolta, which grossed over $295,000,000 worldwide. They then went on to make two other films centered around the same theme, Look Who's Talking Too and Look Who's Talking Now!
Alley has won two Emmy Awards during her career. Her first two nominations for her work on Cheers did not earn her the award, but her third, in 1991, garnered her the statuette for that series. In her speech, she thanked then-husband Parker Stevenson, calling him "the man who has given me the big one for the last eight years."
For contributions to the motion picture industry, Alley was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.
Alley played the title character in the NBC sitcom Veronica's Closet, as well as serving as executive producers on the show. She served as the spokesperson for Pier One from 2000–04 and for Jenny Craig from 2005–08. In October 2012 it has been announced that she will return to television comedy in a new TV Land pilot titled Giant Baby alongside former Cheers co-star Rhea Perlman.
Dancing with the Stars
Main articles: Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 12) and Dancing with the Stars (U.S. season 15)
In February 2011, Alley was announced as a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She was partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Their first dance, a cha-cha-cha, earned them the second-highest score, 23 points of a possible 30. On May 24, 2011, Alley and Chmerkovskiy performed their final dance, also a cha-cha-cha, which earned them a perfect score of 30 out of 30. Alley finished the competition in second place, behind NFL Super Bowl champion Hines Ward. She also took part in the 15th season of Dancing with the Stars for a second chance to win the mirrorball trophy with her former partner, Maksim Chmerkovskiy. They were the seventh couple eliminated from the competition.
Kirstie met and dated a distant cousin, Bob Alley, in high school. They married in 1970, but divorced seven years later as their career paths diverged. Alley was married to her second husband, Parker Stevenson (Richard Stevenson Parker, Jr.) on December 22, 1983. They divorced in 1997. Alley and Stevenson share custody of their two children, William True and Lillie Price.
Weight loss
In March 2010 Alley launched Organic Liaison, which includes Rescue Me, the first USDA-certified organic weight loss product. She announced that she lost 100 lbs using the program in September 2011.
Scientology
Alley was raised Methodist but is now a member of the Church of Scientology. At the time she became a Scientologist, Alley admitted to having had a cocaine addiction and went through Narconon, a Scientology-affiliated drug treatment program, to end her dependency. She has continued her Scientology training and, as of 2007, had attained the level of OT VII (Operating Thetan level 7).
In May 2000, she purchased, for $1.5 million, the former home of fellow Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley, a 5,200 sq ft (480 m2) waterfront mansion in Clearwater, Florida, the spiritual headquarters of the Church of Scientology. In 2007, Alley gave $5 million to the Church of Scientology.
As published author
Alley has written two autobiographical books, How To Lose Your Ass And Regain Your Life and The Art Of Men (I Prefer Mine Al Dente). In the latter, she writes of having fallen for at least two of her leading men, Patrick Swayze, one of her castmates in the first two North and South miniseries productions, and fellow Scientologist John Travolta, her castmate in the Look Who's Talking films. She also denies, in The Art Of Men (I Prefer Mine Al Dente), having actually been sexually active with either.

The Big-Name TV Pilots You'll Never See (13 person items)"Another TV reunion we'll never get to see: "Cheers" co-stars Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman were set to headline ABC's Jersey-set fish-out-of-water comedy "The Manzanis." Alley was to play Angela Manzani, an Italian loudmouth who moves into a quiet neighborhood with her husband and three kids... and makes it a lot less quiet. And get this: Perlman would've played Angela's mother-in-law -- even though she's only three years older than Alley! Maybe that's why "The Manzanis" ended up sinking to the"

Final Fantasy IX - The Would-Be Movie (11 person items)"Quina Quen
Quina would be covered head to toe in costume so they don't have to be a large actress, but with everything Kirstie has gone through weight-wise she came to mind, and her personality can be quirky like Quina so she's a good fit."
