Kristie Alley on Oprah

Posted by Lori Henry Nov 12, 2006

Kristie Alley, once on “Cheers” and “Veronica's Closet,” then as the star of “Fat Actress,” decided to fulfill her pledge made around a year ago to wear a bikini on Oprah’s show.

After having her weight gain documented in the tabloids and in gossip columns, Alley came out last week in a bikini to the Commodores’ “Brick House.”

She said in a follow up interview: "I don't think we ever feel like we're good enough. We don't feel like we're thin enough or pretty enough or smart enough or work hard enough. And we are good enough.

"The bikini thing is neither here nor there, other than the fact, you know, I am 55 years old. So I thought come on, we are all good enough. And we look good enough. And we are not our bodies."
