Another good one gone..She had some funny movies and did a great job taking Shelley Long's place on Cheers. We keep losing the real talents. RIP.
I'm such a nerd that I do know the answer. They didn't offer Alley enough money for Star Trek III The Search for Spock. They did want Alley back for Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country. The problem was Saavik's character turned out to be a traitor in the script and there was concern over the fans not liking that plot twist. So they renamed the Vulcan character Valeris and cast Kim Cattrall as the sexy traitor. Interestingly, Kim Cattrall had auditioned for the part of Saavik in Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan but Kirstie Alley got the part.RIP,I always wondered why she was replaced in startrek 3
ThisThat's sad. Cheers was (still is) one of my favorite shows. RIP Rebecca Howe.
That is because they are getting old !Nooo!!!! That sucks.... Man, so many stars from my childhood are passing.....
