Just heard the news on MSN. A shock. Didn’t know she was battling cancer. My wife was shocked when I told her the news.

Sad.  Great comedic actress. Who will forget "Cheers!"?

She was from my "hometown" - Wichita - she went to high school with my cousin.  

Too young, indeed.

"Humor.... it is a difficult concept" ...but she got it. RIP

There was something about her being funny that was slightly different that I liked. A bit of confidence and a bit of spice in her delivery. And she was quite the babe.

R.I.P.

I saw that. Makes me sad.

She was special.

I loved her sense of humour. She was so much funnier than her roles allowed her to be.

RIP........Liked her in not only in Cheers but Veronica's Closet as well.

I think the first time I ever saw her was in a Star Trek movie. I think that was even before Cheers. 

Then again, I'm officially Old now and might be misremembering things.

Nope, you are correct. She was in Star Trek II - Wrath of Khan back in 1982. 

Then Cheers in (I think) 1987.

She was a terrific actress . I remember her in North and South a very serious role. She was beautiful and had amazing eyes. She will be missed!

Back in 1990, most of the cast of Cheers paraded through Boston to commemorate the 200th episode.  At City Hall Plaza there were speeches and Kirstie was given a street sign proclaiming Kirstie Alley Alley (or, perhaps, Kirstie's Alley or similar).  She appeared stoked to receive the honor.  This is my memory, but I can't find any rererence to this anywhere.

It's a pity my film processing wasn't the best in this era, but I did get some pictures of the event.

 

Here are some crops of my images showing Kirstie...
