Kirstie Alley was a godsend to “Cheers” when she joined the storied NBC sitcom in 1987, famed director- producer James Burrows recalled Monday as he paid tribute to the comedic star. &#…
“She was funny and she was gorgeous. You don’t find those two things together too often,” Burrows told Variety of Alley, who died Dec. 5 at the age of 71 after a battle with cancer. Off camera, she was naturally “bawdy” in a way that endeared her to the comedy community, Burrows recalled.
The new hire made a strong impression on her colleagues when Alley showed up on the first day of filming dressed up just like Shelley Long’s Diane Chambers character.On camera, Alley’s strength was her unpredictability. “When she walked into that bar, everybody’s eye went with her. The surprise that she was funny made her jokes even funnier.” Alley earned five Emmy nominations and one win for her work on “Cheers” as aspiring corporate executive Rebecca Howe.
