Gone TOO SOON
Farewell funny girl
Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress Kirstie Alley has died at 71 after a short, fierce battle with cancer. Versatile, feisty and funny, she’s remembered for her role as Rebecca Howe in Cheers, and for Veronica’s Closet. In Look Who’s Talking she played opposite John Travolta, who said theirs was “one of the most special relationships” of his life. Her son, True, and daughter Lillie Parker shared that her “zest and passion for life ... leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did.”
