Kirstie Alley - 71 RIP

FMP

I was only watching Cheers 2 nights ago,she was a very talented actress.

A lot of people have; she was in Cheers, which was incredibly popular. Why do you keep complaining about people you don't know about being fondly remembered?

I'm not actually complaining in this particular instance BI; all I said was that I had never previously heard of Kirstie Alley, which was me being innocently honest and hardly crime of the century.

So please don't jump to such hasty conclusions.

Probably a much better idea to not mention you've not heard of person on this somewhat sensitive thread lencoboy. Some of the dedications will be personal to some. It's too delicate a thread to be anything but sympathetic. I'm sure you can understand that without feeling offended.

Carnation, thank you for putting that so well. I shouldn't have typed so hastily, maybe, but when people are talking about those they cared about Lenco's response seemed a little callous. Besides, we all have the web at our fingertips today, so if people are mourning someone you don't know it's a great excuse to learn about them.

That's why I posted BI

I think you're probably right that it's best if I don't say anything at all in this sensitive thread in memoriam of departed celebs, unless it's expressing my condolences, of course.

As the old expression goes, 'If in doubt, leave it out', plus I'm still continuing to learn about social etiquette and other people's feelings.

[Carnation]

Thank you lencoboy for understanding.

Lenco, I bet you do know her. She was in Village Of The Damned, Look Who's Talking and Star Trek The Search For Spock (She was the Vulcan on the ship who helped the young Spock they found).

RIP Kirstie Alley

RIP Kirstie Alley

Honest, I don't.

But like I said above, I'll keep it shut in future in this thread unless I'm expressing condolences to the departed individuals.

I was really sad to hear about Kirstie. I watched her in Cheers (preferred her character to Diane Chambers) and then in the Look Who's Talking movies.

Kirstie had the most AMAZING eyes, didn't she? Decent actress too! (Golden Globe winner for best actress in Cheers)

As well as Kirstie's family, I can't help but feel sorry for John Travolta who has lost another much-loved friend, and so soon after Olivia Newton John.
