Kirstie Alley was born January 12, 1951.
Kirstie Alley is an American actress from Wichita, Kansas, who made her feature film debut playing Saavik in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. For her performance in this film, Alley was nominated for a Saturn Award by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
She was offered the chance to reprise the role in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, but according to Alley, she was offered less money for that film than she was paid for Star Trek II and thus declined to return. According to Leonard Nimoy, Alley’s talent agent demanded a salary that was higher than DeForest Kelley’s after learning that Saavik was to have a large role in the film. Nimoy opted instead to recast the role of Saavik, which was ultimately given to Robin Curtis.
She was also in the tv series Cheers.
