At the age of 71, Kirstie Alley, who was one of the most enduring movie and television stars of the 1980s and 1990s, passed away.
The celebrity’s children, William “True” and Lillie Parker, broke the news of their mother’s passing through her various social media platforms in a statement.
It was addressed to “To all of our friends, far and wide around the world…” “It is with great sadness that we must inform you that our beautiful, feisty, and loving mother has passed away following a struggle with cancer that was only recently detected.
“She fought with incredible strength while being surrounded by her closest family members, leaving us with the certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead.”
The article went on to say that despite her legendary status in the entertainment industry, she was an even more remarkable mother and grandmother. We are indebted to the extraordinary group of medical professionals at the Moffitt Cancer Center for the care that they provided.
“Our mother’s zeal and enthusiasm for life, her children, grandchildren, and numerous animals, not to mention her unending joy of creating, were unrivaled. Because of this, we are encouraged to live life to the fullest, just as she did.”
“We would want to express our gratitude for all of the love and prayers that have been sent our way and ask that you respect our privacy at this trying time.” Always and forever, with love It came to an end with the phrase “True and Lillie Parker.”
During the whole decade of the 1980s, Kirstie worked consistently in both movies and television shows. However, it was her role as Rebecca Howe on Cheers and in films such as Drop Dead Gorgeous and the Emmy Award-winning David’s Mother that brought her the most recognition.
She has had starring roles in other television shows, such as Veronica’s Closet and Scream Queens, and she even led her own ill-fated sitcom called Kirstie.
The actress was a familiar face on television, and she even finished in second place on the twelfth season of Dancing with the Stars and the second season of Celebrity Big Brother. She was a mainstay in the industry.
Kirstie’s first marriage was to Bob Alley, and her second, to Parker Stevenson, which lasted until 1997 and ended in divorce. She became the adoptive mother of True and Lillie, as well as the grandmother of True’s son Waylon, from her relationship with Parker.
