Kirstie Alley's best moments: Watch the tragic star in some of her most iconic ... trends now
She's had a Hollywood film and TV career spanning more than four decades.
And MailOnline has taken a look at some of Kirstie Alley's most iconic onscreen moments after it emerged on Monday that she has died from cancer aged 71.
Back in 1979, Kirstie appeared as a contestant on the game show Match Game. She won both rounds, winning $500 in the first round and $5500 in the second round.
Her final TV appearance was on The Masked Singer in April, which saw the acclaimed actress at her most playful and carefree.
Kirstie suited up as the fuzzy Baby Mammoth for the Fox singing competition, which took place just over seven months before her shocking death, and appears to have to have happened before she was diagnosed with cancer.
The former Cheers star and Golden Globe winner made her debut on season seven of the Fox series and performed Walkin' After Midnight by Patsy Cline.
But there have been plenty of roles in-between for this much loved actress, including a very sexy swimsuit-clad appearance in Prince Of Bel-Air in 1986.
She famously starred as Rebecca Howe in the NBC sitcom Cheers, alongside Ten Danson and Kelsey Grammer, for which she received an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe in 1991.
Kirstie also starred as the lead in the sitcom Veronica's Closet, earning yet more Emmy and Golden Globe nominations, for her role as the head of a NY lingerie company.
In 2011, she started appearing on reality TV, including Dancing With The Stars and moving onto UK Celebrity Big Brother, which she came in second place to British actor Ryan Thomas.
The actress leaves behind an incredible legacy, forging her career throughout the film and TV industry after growing up in Wichita, Kansas, and originally wanting to become an interior designer.
She also made headlines later in life, claiming last year that she had become 'blackballed' by Hollywood after vocally supporting Donald Trump.
Alley was born to the owner of a lumber company and a homemaker, leaving the Midwest for Los Angeles to pursue a career in interior design and also to explore Scientology.

The actress continued to work regularly on both the small and big screen, guest-starring in a 1983 episode of The Love Boat alongside her husband Parker Stevenson, and a slew of movies in 1984 including Runaway with Tom Selleck and Blind Date.
