Kirstie was the spunky and spirited Rebecca, the social-climbing bar manager who hopelessly chased her boss and other rich tycoons while she fended off advances from Sam Malone (Ted Danson).
Rebecca could be aloof and standoffish; Kirstie called her character a “gutsy, ballsy businesswoman,” and Cheers waitress Carla Tortelli (Rhea Perlman) said Rebecca “eats live sharks for breakfast” – but she could also be insecure and neurotic.
“Cheers” director James Burrows told People magazine, “We thought of the part as a martinet, a bitch. Then we met her and there was this vulnerability, so we made her the neurotic woman of the 80s.”
Kirstie Alley Got Kelly Preston’s Permission to Write About John Travolta.
Kirstie Alley sought the permission of John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston before telling all about how she fell deeply in love with Travolta in her new memoir.
Alley called Travolta, her Look Who’s Talking co-star, the “greatest love” of her life during an interview with Barbara Walters, saying, “Believe me, it took everything that I had, inside, outside, whatever, to not run off and marry John. And be with John for the rest of my life.”
Kirstie Alley, who was married to Parker Stevenson at the time, opens up about her emotional affair with Travolta in The Art of Men, and Alley reveals she made sure to get the Travolta and his wife’s blessing before going public with her feelings.
She tells Jimmy Kimmel, “John Travolta is and has remained one of my best friends for almost 25 years… His wife is my best friend… They gave me their blessing, they said write the story… I think she’s gonna like it. No one’s read it yet.”
Kirstie Alley insists her ex-husband Stevenson will not be surprised by anything he reads, adding, “He knew about it then, I told him everything, I told him everything as we went along.”
