    1. Also succeeded in kicking a years long cocaine habit, as well as extricating herself from Scientology. She was one tough cookie, and a great, funny actress. RIP, gone too soon.

  1. Wow, what a blow. She was pretty much in everything I watched between ages 6 and up. Thank you for entertaining me all these years.

    1. How bout her role in 1983s RUNAWAY with Tom Selleck- She was great in that! Then a couple years later, a little show on NBC…

  2. Her movies with John Travolta were some of the memories of my youth. Who remembers Bruce Willis as a talking baby? 😂

    1. I always went out of my way to avoid seeing any movie she was in.
      She was always a deal breaker, regardless of who else was in the movie.

  5. Kirstie was a stunning beauty when she starred on Cheers. She reminded me of a friend I had in grade school named Mima. May ppl remember Kirstie’s wit charm & beauty . Rest peacefully Kirstie

    1. @Spentrav her entertaining work over the years doesn’t really matter when you are in support the most hateful racist on the planet and are in a sick cult on top of that but . whatever you clearly support their bigotry so , one can only hope that youre soon to follow kirstie

    2. Kirsties’ weight loss loss products were about as useful
      as the ones Dr Oz made his fortune pushing.
      She used her celebrity to scam people,
      like her hero former President Blowhard

  6. I loved her because she actually thought for herself and didn’t follow the Hollywood “script”. Such a beautiful lady inside and out❤. RIP🙏

    2. @Steve B bull, Obama’s administration did not do so well because economists were expecting a dip in the economy but trump did far better than anyone expected and averted it. He also undid many of Obama’s mistakes like obamacare and had higher employment among minorities.
      Inflation is largely in part because of Bidens failed foreign policy including the sanctions on russia which disrupted all industries directly and indirectly reliant on Russian natural resources.

    3. @fsaari Obama inherited sharply rising black unemployment as 12.7% and took it to 7.5%. Trump inherited it in a sharp fall and left it at 9.2%. Biden has taken it to 5.7%.
      Obama care is still in place. Trump did nothing to it. Trump increased our reliance on foreign trade by 23% then put 30% tariffs in. That’s why we have inflation.
      You need a better source of information.

    4. @fsaari Obama real gdp 8 years= 1.6% avg per year. Trump real gdp growth in 4 years = 1% avg per year.
      Biden so far 3.3%

  7. I’m so sad!!!!!! I grew up watching her. This seems so unexpected and gosh, I had no idea she was 71!!!!! She looked great. RIP. ❤
