Kirstie Alley, you have the eyes of a fanatic woman

Only this month 28 series are released, an unaffordable number for anyone no matter how devoted they are.

To prevent us from missing something according to our tastes, the platforms offer personalized suggestions, a brief synopsis and cast details.

A daily miracle for those of us who remember — insert a

filter from here — times in which we were unaware of concepts such as season or cancellation, the meager series that arrived began and ended when the chain on duty considered and the only thing we knew about them was the Title and protagonists.

In those days, that one of those protagonists was Kirstie Alley was a guarantee.

Alley came to

when Shelley Long wanted to carve out a career in Hollywood and there were many who, in love as we were with Diana Chambers, received her in such a way that Sánchez Illana did to the deputies of Bildu.

We soon gave up.

She didn't need too much space to shine, a couple of sequences in

showed how much Hollywood had missed by closing the door on her.

But the industry doesn't like women with their own ideas and they took a toll on them for the same nonsense they so easily forgive male stars.

She survived with dignity on television, supported by her comic vision and a look of indescribable color that overflowed with intelligence.

She had the eyes of a fatal woman, Jardiel Poncela would have said.

And she never shined as brightly as she did when she had the eyes of a fanatical woman.

, the drama of two American families during the Civil War, gave her the most complex character of her career: the passionate abolitionist Virgilia Hazard, one of those figures who shows that you can be on the right side of history, being the president of the correct side of history even, and at the same time being a detestable person.

Life is full of examples.
