[edit] Early life
Kirstie Alley was born in Wichita, Kansas, the daughter of Lillian Mickie (née Heaton), a homemaker, and Robert Deal, who owned a lumber company.[1] She has two siblings, Colette and Craig. In 1981, a car accident caused by a drunk driver killed her mother and left her father seriously injured. Alley attended Wichita Southeast High School and became a cheerleader, graduating in 1969.[2] She attended college at Kansas State University in 1969.[2]
[edit] Career
Alley has won two Emmy Awards during her career. Her first two nominations for her work on Cheers did not earn her the award, but her third, in 1991, garnered her the statuette for that series. In her speech, she thanked then-hu*****and Parker Stevenson "for giving me the big one for the last eight years".[3]
For contributions to the motion picture industry, Kirstie Alley was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.[4]
It was announced in early February 2007 that Alley would play the lead in a new Fox network sitcom entitled The Minister of Divine, based upon the British show The Vicar of Dibley, which starred Dawn French and was first broadcast by the BBC in 1994.[5]
On March 21, 2010, Alley launched her own semi-scripted reality show, Kirstie Alley's Big Life. The show presents the story of her losing the weight she gained back since her Jenny Craig campaign. The series airs on A&E Network.[6]
In March 2010 Alley launched Organic Liaison, the first USDA certified organic weight loss product. Since starting the program on January she has lost 20 pounds.[7]
[edit] Personal life
She married Bob Alley in 1970.[8] They divorced in 1977. Alley was married to her second hu*****and, Parker Stevenson (Richard Stevenson Parker, Jr.) on December 22, 1983. They divorced in 1997.[9]
[edit] Scientology
Alley was raised Methodist but is now a member of the Church of Scientology. At the time she became a Scientologist, Alley admitted to having had a cocaine addiction, from which she credits the Scientology program Narconon in helping her recover.[10] She has since served as the national spokesperson for Narconon (a Scientology-affiliated drug treatment program[11]). She has continued her Scientology training and, as of 2007, had attained the level of OT VII (Operating Thetan level 7).[12]
In May 2000, she purchased, for $1.5 million, the former home of fellow Scientologist Lisa Marie Presley, a 5,200 sq ft (480 m2) waterfront mansion in Clearwater, Florida, the spiritual headquarters of the Church of Scientology. In 2007 Alley gave $5 million to the Church of Scientology.[13]
