The estate of the late Kirstie Alley is open to the public.
An estate auction of the “Cheers” actress is currently taking place in Clearwater, Florida, organized by Those Two Girls Estate Sales.
The cash-only promotion runs for two weeks, from Wednesday to Saturday and again next week from Thursday to Saturday.
Items from her homes in Maine, California and Florida range in price from $25,000 to $18,000 for a ball gown the actress wore in a Jenny Craig commercial, according to the Tampa Bay Times. There’s even a dress she wore on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2011.
Bill Wallace, co-owner of the estate auction, told the Tampa Bay Times that assembling Alley’s collection was “exciting” and “painful” because it included a wide variety of items, including “15 vintage doors.”
“It wasn’t because she was a collector or a hoarder. She had actually bought the house she was retiring to and wanted it to be authentic,” he said of the doors. “There’s a French chateau, there’s an American centerpiece with the vinyl and the chrome and glass table. When you look at the pictures of how she had decorated her house, it all fit together.”
In addition to doors and clothes, Wallace toured with Fox 13 and revealed that some of Alley’s scripts are among the items for sale with notes. However, none of “Cheers” or “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” are included.
“We’re not here for the movie memorabilia,” Wallace said, adding that this is something her family might choose to pursue in the future.

Alley, best known for her breakout role as Rebecca Howe on the hit NBC sitcom “Cheers,” died of colon cancer in December 2022 at the age of 71.
Her children, True and Lillie Parker, shared the news in a statement posted on their late mother’s Instagram account. A spokesperson for Alley later confirmed to USA TODAY that she died of colon cancer.
“We are saddened to announce that our incredible, passionate and loving mother has passed away after a battle with recently discovered cancer,” the statement said. Alley had not previously disclosed her cancer diagnosis.
“Surrounded by her closest family, she fought with great strength, so we were assured of her never-ending joy for life and all the adventures ahead,” her children said. “As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother.”
Alley’s career took off after she played the love interest of Ted Danson’s character Sam Malone on “Cheers” from 1987 to 1993. In 1991, she won an Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her role in the series.
Over the years, she has garnered roles in David’s Mother, Veronica’s Closet, Look Who’s Talking, Fat Actress and Scream Queens. She also documented her weight loss journey in the reality TV series Kirstie Alley’s Big Life after years of public fascination with her body.
