I always liked her. Sad, she was not that old.

So sad. Sounds like it was a quick thing.

Rest in peace Kristie.

Was sorry to hear the news this morning. She was a really good actress.

I think the first I knew of her was from the movie Runaway with Tom Selleck, Gene Simmons (from the group KISS) and Cynthia Rhodes (who went on to play Penny in Dirty Dancing).

I can't believe she was 71--she looked much younger to me. In any case, that isn't that old. This is such a tragedy. I remember seeing her on some movies and commercials when I was younger.

John Travolta has had a rough year. He was really close to both Olivia Newton-John and Kirstie Alley.

Very sad. I liked her on Cheers and Veronica's Closet, plus the Look Who's Talking movies. Rest in Peace, Kirstie.

I loved Veronica's Closet.

Peacock added Cheers to their lineup late yesterday or they made sure people knew they had it.

Out of all the Parent Trap movies, hers with the Olsen twins is still a favorite of mine. And the Look Who's Talkin' movies. (as an 80s baby/90s kid, these are the ones I remember most). She was beautiful and funny, will certainly be missed. 71 is far too young; I hate cancer! RIP Kirstie!

It Takes Two wasn't a Parent Trap movie, similar though. The two girls were unrelated; one was an orphan and one was wealthy. Was a twist on The Prince and the Pauper.
