"Replaced" would be the wrong word. I see [saw] her as more of a new character. Long's character was a stuffy nerd and the antagonist to Danson's character. Alley's character was charismatic and competed directly with Danson's character. Hence, she literally gave the show new life and allowed for it to go on a bit longer. The show basically ended because the cast demanded too big a salary [this is what killed MOST long-running shows that had good rating still btw].

It ain't easy jumping into an established cast of characters! I loved her performance on Star Trek II as Saavik as well.

Sad I just loved her on Cheers So funny - timing was spot on Gorgeous Told us exactly what was on her mind Talented 😢 sweet be thy sleep Kirstie❤

I had my doubts when Cheers came back without Diane but Kirstie ended up winning us all over with her neurotic quirkiness. RIP.

It’s very shocking to hear she’s passed away. I wonder what kind of cancer took her so quickly. I loved watching Kirstie on Cheers, her other shows and cameos. Another commenter reminded me of the movie “Look who’s talking “- loved that. You knew her by her voice alone. A beautiful, hilarious woman and actress.. gone much to soon. We love you Kirstie. Rest In beautiful peace. 🙏🏻

Kirstie Alley, 'Look Who's Talking' Actress, Dies at 71 A family statement published on social media says that the artist had recently discovered cancer. American actress Kirstie Alley left the scene this Monday (5), aged 71. The announcement was made by the family overnight in a statement on the artist's social media. The actress became known worldwide for her performances in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and for the three films in the Look Who's Talking franchise (1989); Look Who's Talking Too (1991); and Look Who's Talking Now (1993). Alley was born in Wichita, Kansas, in 1951 and moved to Los Angeles in 1980, where he worked as an interior designer. She made her film debut in 1982. She recently received two Emmy Awards for her role as Rebecca Howe on the NBC comedy series “Cheers”. "To all of our friends across the world... We are sorry to report that our amazing, fierce and loving mother has left the scene following a battle with recently discovered cancer," the statement reads. “She was surrounded by her closest family and fought very hard, leaving us with the certainty of her endless joy in life and the adventures that lay ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more incredible mother and grandmother.” The actress is survived by a son, William True Stevenson, a daughter, Lillie Price Stevenson and a grandson.

This was 29 years ago 😮!

One of the guys who helped produce Cheers, it might have been the director James Burrows, cannot remember, but he said Kirstie was the one who really sounded convincing when she delivered the line "You know Mr Malone, we've only known each other for seconds and I'm already tired of you." Sharon Stone can be quirky funny too and I like her but I'm glad Kirstie got the role.

An often forgotten fun project Kirstie was involved with was with Prince around this time. She played a reporter in his videos for an album at the time. You can see Kirstie in the role in the music video for 'My Name Is Prince', and there's a whole unreleased album version where she plays a larger role in segues between most songs. This year is turning into a 2016, we're losing so many great talents and heroes are close leaving us. Can't handle it, too much.

Truly sorry to heat of her passing. I'm 50 and been a fan of her my whole life

Another final curtain call??? What a sweet personality. Rest in Gods love and eternal peace, Kirstie 🕯

Danson was getting 450,000 a week back in '93 and wanted to quit, that is why the show ended. The writers then went on to do 'Fraiser' which also ran for 11 seasons. ...had Danson not opted out we could have had 22 seasons of 'Cheers'.
