Tributes have already begun posting on social media for Kirstie Alley, who died at the age of 71. The actress best known for her work in Cheers and Veronica’s Closet was remembered for her personality, her parties, and her politics.
Her death was announced on her official Instagram account.
John Travolta, who co-starred alongside Alley in the film Look Who’s Talking and its sequel Look Who’s Talking Too, shared a tribute on social media.
“Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I’ve ever had. I love you Kirstie. I know we will see each other again,” Travolta wrote.
Kirstie was beautiful in so many ways. I loved working with her. There was no one like her on earth. My condolences to her family. @kirstiealley
Earlier this year cancer robbed my aunt of a longer life, just like Kirstie Alley. It sucks. It isn’t fair. And no I’m not grateful for the time we had. I wanted more time. I LOVED Cheers as a kid. And Look Who’s Talking. I hope she knew how her work inspired so many. ❤️ https://t.co/uRqVIeS5av
I just head the news about #KirstieAlley. I’ve not spoke w/ her forever, but have her to thank for launching my career. She told me I was funny every single day on Veronica’s Closet, and I believed her. She threw the best parties and gave the parakeets as our wrap gift. Godspeed.
Kirstie Alley is a wonderful actor who was always kind to me; even when she went full-Trump she never unfollowed me here & she always stayed friendly.
She should’ve gotten an Oscar nomination for 1 hilarious scene as an enraged therapist in Woody Allen’s “Deconstructing Harry.” pic.twitter.com/2XH2XDqfgd
