Alley made her feature film debut in 1982’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan but rose to fame later that decade on the small screen in her breakout role as Rebecca Howe in the iconic sitcom Cheers. Alley joined Cheers for season six in 1987 following the departure of Shelley Long, and remained on the show until the final season.
Alley also starred alongside John Travolta in Amy Heckerling’s hit 1989 comedy Look Who’s Talking, a role she reprised for two additional sequels.
