I’ve heard of her but never seen her, but I’m 71, so this hits home.

Nope, never watched a single episode of “Cheers.”

That’s a shame. She was one of the good ones out of Hollywood. May she rest in peace.

Awww…I really liked her. She was quite the feisty conservative in a leftist cesspool. R.I.P., Kirstie.

But before all that, we knew her as the space babe from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

Sorry to hear this. I remember her from one of the Star Trek movie as Lt. Saavik - when she was young, trim and beautiful:

920-A8-F76-AE08-4941-9301-595-E70-EDB101

Later, she had a lot of trouble with her weight - going up and down by tremendous amounts, I remember when she was the spokeswoman for Jenny Craig- they had to fire her for re-gaining all of her weight.
