Alley died on December 5, 2022 in Tampa, Fla. after a short battle with cancer.

True and Lillie announced her death in a statement shared with PEOPLE. “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 said.

Alley rose to fame in 1987 when she starred as Rebecca Howe on NBC’s Cheers. She earned a Golden Globe for best actress and an Emmy for outstanding lead actress for her part in the Boston-based series in 1991.

She opened up about her first career as an interior designer during an appearance on the Rosie O’Donnell Show in 1996. During the interview, O’Donnell plays a clip from one of Kirstie’s first television appearances, alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Betty White on the show Match Game in 1979.

“I live in Wichita, Kansas,” Alley says to the game show’s host, Gene Rayburn, towards the end of the clip. “I’m an interior designer and I’m out here working.” Once the clip ends, Alley tells O’Donnell that she “thought she was going to get discovered” by appearing on the game show.

“I was really poor, I didn’t have any money and I was starving — that was one reason I went on,” she says. “But the other was, I thought Robert Redwood was going to be sitting there at home, eating breakfast or something and go — ‘Woah! We need to put her in Sting 2. She is brilliant!'”.

Alley would go on to appear on television shows including Veronica’s Closet (1997-2000), Fat Actress (2005), Kirstie (2013-2014), and Scream Queens (2015-2016), as well as films like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), Summer School (1987), Look Who’s Talking (1989), It Takes Two (1995) and Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999). She also received her second Emmy win for her portrayal of Sally Goodson in David’s Mother in 1994.
