In her words: Kirstie Alley's 43-year defense of Scientology (Los Angeles Times)

Kirstie Alley, who died Monday of cancer at age 71, was an outspoken defender of Scientology, speaking out many times over the years about her religion.

“When I was straight, I had the courage and energy to try to become an actress.

Alley said she had one Scientology counseling session and never wanted to do drugs again, though she admitted that sort of result didn’t happen so quickly for many people. “All religions,” she said, “sound a little wacky if you take them literally and if they don’t happen to be your own.” [died Monday of colon cancer](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2022-12-05/acctor-kirstie-alley-dies-of-cancer) at age 71, was a staunch Scientologist for more than 40 years.
