After battling with cancer for some time, actress Kirstie Alley, who gained fame in both television and movies, has reportedly passed away- according to a report we sighted on TMZ.
We have no idea the kind of cancer which killed her. As Rebecca Howe on “Cheers” from 1987 to 1993, Alley rose to fame and won an Emmy and a Golden Globe in the same year. After that, she won her second Emmy for “David’s Mother” and went on to win.
Her family announced Monday, “We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered.”
They continued … “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother. We are grateful to the incredible team of doctors and nurses at the Moffitt Cancer Center for their care.”
Her two children wrote in the statement, “Our mother’s zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did.”
