Kirstie Alley is letting cameras follow her for another TV series, presumably one more realistic than Fat Actress.
The former Cheers and Veronica’s Closet star is set to star in an unscripted show for A&E that would chronicle her life as the mother of two teenagers and a celebrity whose struggles with her weight have been tabloid fodder for years. The cable channel has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of the show.
“Kirstie is exactly the kind of star A&E is drawn to,” A&E’s Robert Sharenow tells Variety. “Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she’ll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras.”
Alley’s most recent TV series was Showtime’s Fat Actress, a Curb Your Enthusiasm-esque show that lampooned her weight issues, her career and Hollywood in general.
