As we reported, Alley succumbed to cancer after a short battle with the terrible disease. In the hours after her passing, her children True and Lillie Parker released a statement about the sad situation. In their announcement, the grieving family members wrote in part:
Already, the tributes and memorials are starting to roll in.
Among the most notable ones coming forth on Monday evening was an Instagram post from John Travolta. The Pulp Fiction star was front-and-center in the iconic 1989 project Look Who’s Talking alongside Alley. The film grossed nearly $300 million and gave Travolta his most success on the silver screen since Grease. For Kirstie, that franchise — along with her talented sitcom work — rightfully propelled her into superstardom through the ’80s and 90s.
Remembering their time together, Travolta wrote a special message to Kirstie on his IG account:
Along with it, he shared a few old pics. One was of Alley in the prime of her career during her star turn with Travolta. The other showed the two of them together during a special moment while they were laughing and embracing.
You can see that tribute post (below):
Wow. Our hearts break for John, and everyone else so seriously affected by Kirstie’s death.
