Here’s What The Cast Of Cheers Is Up To Today

After Shelley Long left “Cheers,” Kirstie Alley joined the cast. Alley played Rebecca Howe, the accomplished woman who manages Cheers after Sam Malone sells it. “Cheers” proved to be a major step in the right direction for Alley and her career, and the cast fully embraced her. “It was truly one of the greatest first days, as was when Woody [Harrelson] took over for Coach who died, Nick Colasanto, who is, we all thought, irreplaceable. It was just like, these two people were the exact people you needed,” Rhea Perlman said of Alley’s addition on “Watch What Happens Live” in 2019.

After “Cheers” ended, Alley starred in multiple other series including “Veronica’s Closet” and “Kirstie,” and also had roles in films and guest spots on series. Sadly, in 2022, at age 71, Alley died from cancer. A year later, at the ATX Television Festival, some of Alley’s “Cheers” co-stars had the chance to reminisce on their time with her. “She came in like a ball of fire. We were doing the table read and some of us had met her, but others hadn’t, and she was a little late — but it was because she put on a Shelley Long blonde wig. So I was like, ‘OK, you’ll do great,’” Ted Danson said of his late friend, as reported by IndieWire.
