A year ago today, Kirstie Alley passed away

So I thought Kirstie Alley was a very funny comedienne. I loved her on Cheers. But she's, to me, one of those classic tales: keep your mouth shut. Your politics, especially like hers, are unhelpful. Think what you like, if that's good enough for you, but don't get in your own way with your looney bullshit. (I think this a lot about crazy Susan Saranwrap and Cynthia Nixon, too, but she's got a motherlode of talent that so far transcends her extreme views.) But it's too bad about Kirstie Alley. I remember her as much as a loony loose cannon as a funny actress. Her Rebecca Howe was a great comedic turn and she fucked it.

OP- Are U a FRAU?

Kirstie Alley was a DYKE she has ZERO interest in mens penises.

I don't think that's totally true R2. What women has she been with? She was married at least twice, and her second marriage lasted almost 15 years. She may have been into bisexuality since she was actor.

Excuse me, but Parker Stevenson gave her the Big One. Doesn't sound dyke-y to me.

I adored her as a 1980s gay boy growing up...thirty years later I regard her as a miserable witch sucking cocks in hell.

R4- You're using a male homosexual as an example of someone she had sex with.

[quote]Surely a DL icon no?

No. So many reasons.

I totally forgot that Rebecca Howe never appeared on 'Fraiser'. It figures Scientology would be the reason.

R1 I agree. I don't even associate Kirstie Alley with Cheers anymore. To me she was just another right wing nutjob.

R8 Well, she would have fit perfectly since Kelsey Grammer is a Trump supporter as well.

That picture is weird. Why are her eyes s like that?

Why would you start a thread about that MAGAt piece of shit? And here of all places? You must be a frau.

[quote] That picture is weird. Why are her eyes s like that?

Well she obviously had Asperger Syndrome

[quote]...all the hot peen she rode in her lifetime. Parker Stevenson, James Wilder, and [bold]William Shatner[/bold]

Really? No?

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

She used to have a place on a large island (accessible by ferry) in Maine . It was a large rambling former inn, right on the water but also close to the road. John Travolta’s place was more remote and although still visible from the road, it was set back much further with a long driveway. She and her guests liked to dress up in fancy clothes (like kids playing dress up, not formal) and hats and go around. The locals liked her from what I was told, she was friendly.

House of Pies

We only made one movie together.

Bye Bitch!

Is she still fat?

She was a brilliant comedic actress and I lived for Veronica's Closet back in the day.

I was disappointed when she became a magat but her talent will still be missed.

She never saw a bean burrito she didn't eat.

Can we dig her up to see what she looks like?

R22, I'll grab the shovel. You bring her some food.

She was a Scientologist AND a MAGAt.

Guilty as charged on all counts of stupidity and ignorance.

Thread closed.

She was great as Saavik.

She was a lifelong smoker and a cokehead for years. That's where the colon cancer came from.

Has a photo of Parker‘s Big One ever surfaced?

Of course...

A year ago today, Kirstie Alley DIED

How have we gotten this far in a Kirstie Alley thread without mentioning Drop Dead Gorgeous?

Shameful.

Anyway, I followed her on Twitter for many years. We even exchanged pleasantries a few times. Something snapped in her to the point I came on here and made a "I think Kirstie Alley is Losing Her Shit on Twitter" thread.

It was a sharp, sad decline. No idea what started it.

Oh yeah, sure. I know what some of your big city, no-bra-wearing, hairy-legged women libbers might say. They might say that a pageant is old-fashioned and demeaning to the girls. No, I think you boys are gonna find something a little bit different here in Mount Rose. For one thing, we're all God-fearing folk, every last one of us. And you will not find a "back room" in our video store. No, no, that filth is better left to the sin cities.

She was a very funny actress. I could envision her in 1930s classic screwball comedies.

R8- Whatever Kelsey Grammer's politics are I would take him over that NUT JOB DYKE anyday.

Has anyone seen Madhouse with Kirstie Alley and John Laroquette? It was pretty awful but her comedic timing and physical comedy abilities made her worth watching.

She was a crazy MAGAT bitch like Suzanne Somers.

She was also a racist

DEAD?!? I didn't even know she was sick.

[quote] Surely a DL icon no?

No.

Fuck, no.

It's complicated.

[quote]She was great as Saavik.

No she wasn't. She was terribly miscast and not believable as a Vulcan at all. Robin Curtis was far superior.

Wow. What a dumb fucking cunt. My parents were killed in a car accident dressed as a black woman and a klan member! Oh hahahahahah. Asshole.

She wasn't a DL icon. She was just a fat bitch with a big mouth, and we've had sufficient of those.

Agree with R40. She was an awful Vulcan. But she did better work as a moll in "Runaway," opposite Gene Simmons. She belonged in that kind of trash.

R36 oh grow the fuck up! I’m black and that is not an example of racism! It was a Halloween costume worn by two dead people that another now dead person thought was funny. It oppressed no one and IF it harmed anyone at all, it was the people who wore it and no one else. Except for you and the permanent victims of twitter I guess….

Good riddance to Scientology and MAGA cult trash.

Why does she look like Robin Williams in OP’s picture?

Are we sure Robin wasn’t just pulling a fast one on us, and “Kirstie Alley” wasn’t in fact a Mrs Doubtfire type situation?

I'm black and I stand with R43

[quote] I'm black

Sure, Jan.

She was pretty progressive and fun on social media until about halfway through Obama’s second term, then a switch went off and she did a 180. Cuntface was a favorite insult of hers. If she wasn’t such a MAGA she would’ve fit here nicely.

R47 What kind of proof do you want Marcia? I'm not posting my picture.

Kirsty was Jewish. I wonder if she’d have found so much humour in someone in fancy dress as a Holocaust survivor with Hitler in Nazi uniform.

Kirstie, not Kirsty

Good

Scientology Trump supporter. Thank god she is dead

R49 didn’t you know? We Blacks are only allowed to think, look and behave one way or “You ain’t Black!” at least according to the President.

The world is. quieter without that screeching, screaming banshee.

r54 Oh god Candice Ownes showed up.

She was a fine actress, but God, that bitch would never shut up about her goddamned weight and career woes.

[quote] Kirstie, not Kirsty

Who cares? She's a fucking cunt either way.

R56 I present exhibit A. Tap dance the RIGHT way like a good n word or else you’re one of the bad ones.

A year ago, Kirstie Alley became UNLIVING.

Candace Owens is TRASH!

Celebrating 365 days of being able to go to House of Pies without worry of them being sold out.

Candice Owens is a sellout and a cunt.

Only DL would winnow down a woman’s accomplishments to “All the hot peen she rode”.

Still waiting to see if anyone has a picture of Parker Stevenson's dick, aka "the big one."

So sad that Xenu took her before she had a Semaglutide moment with Oprah.

She is very funny in "Look Who's Talking" (the first one, which is the only one worth watching). I recently learned that the George Segal part is based on Harold Ramis (he impregnated Amy Heckerling) Alley's part is based on Heckerling of course. Olympia Dukakis plays her mom. Add in John Travolta as the love interest and a witty wisecracking Bruce Willis (a lot of improvisation on his part) as the voice of the baby - a guilty favorite of mine. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up.

Kirstie Alley was a huge talent. So what if she became a trumpet in the end like 65% of white peoples of a certain age. She was funny as fuck as Rebecca Howe bitches.

Trumper*

Susan Dey said nothing about Kirstie's death or her one-year anniversary.

The world has gone to hell.

Did OP post this thread from a ladies room stall at the Bellagio by any chance?

She was brilliant in Drop Dead Gorgeous.

Kristie was the equivalent of Gay men who died before the Cocktail.

Kristie died pre-ozempic.

Parker may have had "The big one" but John was clearly her favorite.

R73, her death had nothing to do with her weight.

^That is correct. I believe it was colon cancer.

R76 There's decades of peer-reviewed medical science showing a massive and rock-solid link between poor diet (plus lack of exercise and obesity) and the risk of colorectal cancers.

But he arse is being kept alive in the freezer of a Golden Corral in Pomona

OP - just so you know: "William Shatner" and "hot peen" should never appear in the same sentence.

RIP, but she was a nut: right wing maniac and Scientologist.

She's now a Pier 1 Export. Fuck her.

[quote]Any favorite Kirstie Alley films or TV shows?

No, but I'll always remember when she hid a lit cigarette in her mouth on Cheers.

Enough already OP.

Her show FAT ACTRESS (in which she played herself) was often hilarious.

[quote] Kirsty was Jewish. I wonder if she’d have found so much humour in someone in fancy dress as a Holocaust survivor with Hitler in Nazi uniform.

She was raised Methodist, R50.

And in the last 12 months my IBS has all but vanished.

OP, William Shatner never was "hot peen".

She had a hot fudge Sunday but she couldn’t live forever. RIP

Burn in Hell 🐷

Kirstie as a contestant on MATCH GAME

The sky was so fat that day.

I’ll always remember her sitting in the cage with her lemurs.

[quote] Has anyone ever met her or have any gossip?

Closet Walmart shopper.

She was funny, but she was no Shelley Long.

As a general rule for future guesses OP, repubs can't be DL icons.

Her performance in Drop Dead Gorgeous will always be one of my favorite performances in a comedy movie.

I’m a youngin, so I only remember her for being in Jenny Craig ads in the 2000s. Too bad Ozempic was only a decade away for her and didn’t make it.

What type of funeral do Scientologists have? Do they get cremated since they believe theur Thetans came from a volcano? Do they get buried somewhere? And the famous ones, like Big Mac here, does she get entombed and put on tour, Evita-style, being shipped off to Scientology centers around the world? ("Who's got Kirstie?" " This week, St. Louis." " Next week?" "Next week is Orlando." "Oh, she'll like it there. Lots of fast food."

I remember her hiding behind those Pier 1 Import armoires. The armoire was the better actor in those commercials.

Scientology served her well, especially toward the end.

Sound, science-based medical advice there. /s

She died so young - I know anyone can die of colon cancer - but you have to wonder what impact Scientology had on her treatments and schedule.

She was living in a home in Clearwater, FL - which I believe is the East coast HQ for Scientology.

Her thirst for fame and unorthodox ideologies (Scientology was just one of them) were her downfall.
