Alley hasn’t really put together anything quite as memorable once Cheers bowed out, which isn’t to say she hasn’t been busy, as she’s led the comedies Veronica’s Closet, Fat Actress and Kirstie, the latter two of which were cancelled after one season.
With an early career boasting TV roles on Masquerade and North and South, Kirstie Alley hit the big time by joining the upper echelon of TV comedy with Cheers as Rebecca Howe.
Most recently, she appeared on episodes of The Middle and Will Arnett’s Netflix comedy Flaked.
(Replacing but never eclipsing Shelley Long’s Diane Chambers.)
