Heres Why We Never Hear From Kirstie Alley Anymore

Kirstie Alley started out as a no-name actress from Wichita , Kansas, who forged a path to Hollywood. The aspiring actress made a name for herself in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan before finally landing the role of a lifetime in the late ‘80s, starring as Rebecca Howe in the popular sitcom series Cheers. She won a Golden Globe and an Emmy in 1991 for her performance in the show, which is one of the most-watched in TV history. Since then, Alley’s career has been one of dramatic ups and downs. But why exactly haven't we heard from the talented actress in so long? Kirstie Alley was a familiar face in the 90’s and 2000’s, and she was riding high when she landed her very own sitcom in 2013, aptly titled Kirstie. Unfortunately, her good fortune proved to be short-lived as the show was canceled after only one season. Despite a hard-hitting cast, including Seinfeld star Michael Richards and Cheers co-star Rhea Perlman, the sitcom received universally dismal ratings, and ended less than 3 months after its debut. Unfortunately, the flops just kept coming for Alley when Scream Queens, the horror-comedy series that was supposed to get her career back on track got axed. As reported by Deadline, Alley was invited to join the series during its second season. Alas, the series was not picked up for a third. Many of Hollywood's celebrities have come under fire for affiliation with the Church of Scientology, and Kirstie Alley is no different. But make no mistake — Alley is not afraid to ruffle some feathers when it comes to her faith... including those of former Scientologist turned Scientology critic, Leah Remini. As reported by OK! Magazine, Alley first became a Scientologist in 1979 and, since then, the actress has become one of the Church's most avid and outspoken supporters. Along with calling Remini both a "bigot" and "repulsive," Alley also said the actress was staging a "PR stunt" when Remini filed a missing person's report on Shelly Miscaviage , wife of the leader of the Church of Scientology, David Miscaviage.
