Kirstie Louise Alley (born January 12, 1951) is an American actress 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 Look Who's Talking film series as Mollie Ubriacco.
Career
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 "for giving me the big one for the last eight years".
Alley made her movie debut in 1982 in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, playing a Vulcan and Starfleet officer, Lieutenant Saavik. In 1989, Alley starred in Look Who's Talking which grossed over $295,000,000 worldwide.
For contributions to the motion picture industry, Kirstie Alley was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.
It was announced in early February 2007 that Alley would play the lead in a new Fox network sitcom entitled The Minister of Divine, based upon the British show The Vicar of Dibley, which starred Dawn French and was first broadcast by the BBC in 1994. Fox, however, did not pick up its option on the series.
On March 21, 2010, Alley launched her own semi-scripted reality show, Kirstie Alley's Big Life. The show presents the story of her losing the weight she gained back since her Jenny Craig campaign. The series airs on A&E Network. [FOOTNOTE]wikipedia.org[/FOOTNOTE][/lang]
