Oddly, I thought she had already passed away, but the article was from five minutes ago (at the time I saw it), so huh.

(Update: the original thread was in fact here https://www.grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=26684.msg718338#msg718338

I thought I selected "entire forum" to search for "Kirstie" but must have selected something else somehow.)

My brain has also decided to make 'headcanon' the idea that Kirstie was always 'starring' as Toothless the Night Fury in the How to Train Your Dragon series of films.  :smitten:

Not only that, but I could have sworn remembering we had a thread about her dying already! -- but a search for Kirstie comes up empty, except for this thread.

She died last year, the article cites that as well.  December 5, 2022. 

The article's from Disney Tips, it's one of those clickbait news aggregates that copy pastes other stories.  In this case they just scrubbed a story from last year and made it a headline to get traffic.

They're reposting part of a People magazine story from December. 

And yes, we had a thread on it here.

So we should change the thread title to "Kirstie Alley dies again!"

I changed it to a more accurate title.  :Loser:  :uglystupid2:  :buck2:

I sure thought I had set the search to "entire forum" but must have set it to something else instead by accident.

MSN oddly recycles years old death articles with current dates on an almost daily basis.  It's almost caught me on several occasions.   :magnify:
