Jamie Lee Curtis says the heartbreaking thing while overcome with emotion
Kirstie Alley’s friends and coworkers, many of whom she worked with throughout her illustrious career, have begun to share their memories of the late actress as the film industry mourns her loss. According to her family, the former Cheers star died on Monday at the age of 71 after a battle with colon cancer.
Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman, & Kelsey Grammer, who co-starred in Alley’s Cheers, each spoke on Monday about Alley. Despite his belief that lamenting the loss of a public figure is a “private problem,” Grammer says in his statement that he “loved her.”
Danson claims that he learned of Alley’s passing while re-watching a Cheers episode in which she repeatedly declines to marry Don Santry (Tom Berenger), despite of having her heart set on it.
Danson plays the role of Don Santry in this scene. Danson says Alley performs “excellently.”
Her portrayal of a woman on the verge of a mental breakdown was praised by a critic who said it was “her ability to portray a woman on the verge of a mental collapse was both heartbreaking and magnificently amusing.” According to Danson, who recorded that scene 30 years ago, “She made me laugh, and she made me laugh just as hard today.”
“I didn’t find out about Kirstie’s passing until I was about to exit the plane. Although I am heartbroken about her passing, I will always be grateful for the numerous occasions when she made me laugh. I love her children wholeheartedly. They recognize the vast heart and chastity of their mother. She will be sorely missed when she departs.
Perlman remembers Kirstie as “a one-of-a-kind person who was also a terrific friend.” She exuded boundless joy. We grew close almost instantly after she began working at Cheers. She was equally as devoted to my children as she was to them.
“She made treasure hunts for us to take part in during sleepovers at her house. She lavishly hosted Halloween and Easter celebrations for the entire cast and crew of the show, as well as their families. She wished for everyone to sense a sense of belonging. She had a deep affection for her children. She is unlike anyone I’ve ever met in the slightest. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have met her. I will genuinely miss her company.
Many of Alley’s mourners used social media after her passing to post their condolences and memories. In an Instagram comment, Kirstie Alley’s “It Takes Two” co-star Steve Guttenberg praised the actress for her friendliness. Tim Allen tweeted his “prayers” to Kirstie Alley and her family after the actor and he co-starred in the 1997 movie For Richer or Poorer. Having a “wonderful gentle spirit,” Alley was praised. He recalled that Alley, who was aware of his choice for that dish, had brought him a tuna fish sandwich on rye to set.
The world “looks a little less full without Kirstie,” said Guttenberg, “every day she impressed me with her offering of the physical form and with her soulfulness.”
In an Instagram post, John Travolta, who costarred with Alley in the 1989 film Look Who’s Talking, paid respect to the late actor. One of the deepest friendships Travolta has ever had, he said of their relationship in the article.
I’m sure we’ll cross each other’s paths again. “I have no doubt that I love you so much, Kirstie,” says Travolta. Sharon Stone expressed her condolences for Alley’s passing in the comments section and called her “very hilarious and amazing.”
In the slasher movie Scream Queens, Alley and Jamie Lee Curtis shared a leading role. Jamie Lee Curtis honored Alley by calling her a “great comic foil” in front of the camera and a “beautiful mom bear” in the background in an Instagram post. Alley allegedly helped Curtis during one of the holidays when she went onesie shopping for her entire family.
Curtis concludes that even though they had many differences, they respected one another. It’s unfortunate.
Jackee Harry also demonstrated her admiration for Alley’s legacy by publishing a message next to a tweet Alley had previously written conveying her unwavering love for Jackee Harry.
Harry says of Kirstie Alley, “She was an incredible talent who made many people happy, both on screen and with her lovely and witty spirit.” Whether or not you shared her opinions, Kirstie Alley was a superb talent who made many people happy. Luv, have peace. Without a doubt, you were exceptional in every way.
