KIRSTIE ALLEY

Alley made her movie debut in 1982 in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, playing Vulcan officer Lieutenant Saavik. In 1989, Alley starred in Look Who's Talking which grossed over $295,000,000 worldwide.[4]

For contributions to the motion picture industry, Kirstie Alley was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7000 Hollywood Boulevard.[5]

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.[6] Fox, however, did not pick up its option on the series.

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.[7]

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.[8] In September, she reported a weight loss of over 50 pounds, Tweeting a photo of herself as proof and noting, "30 more to go !"[9]

In February 2011, Alley was announced as a contestant on season 12 of Dancing with the Stars. She is partnered with Maksim Chmerkovskiy; her first dance, a cha-cha-cha, earned the second-highest score, a 23 of 30.
Personal life

Kirstie met and dated a cousin, Bob Alley, in high school. They married in 1970, but divorced seven years later as their career paths diverged.[10] Alley was married to her second husband, Parker Stevenson (Richard Stevenson Parker, Jr.) on December 22, 1983. They divorced in 1997. The latter couple now share two children, William True and Lillie Price, whom they adopted.[11] Alley also had brief relationships with Tim Matheson of Animal House and James Wilder of Melrose Place.

In 2010 Kirstie Alley put her Encino house on the market for $6.5 million.[12]
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 and went through Narconon, a Scientology-affiliated drug treatment program,[13] to end her dependency.[14] She has continued her Scientology training and, as of 2007, had attained the level of OT VII (Operating Thetan level 7).[15]
