Kirstie Alley's TV movies

I thought I'd start a few threads to discuss the TV movies of several actresses known for being the "Queens of TV movies". Here are my favorite Kirstie Alley TV movies:

1. "A Bunny's Tale" (1985) Kirstie plays a Playboy Bunny waitress in this very fun TV movie. Joanna Kerns and Delta Burke are her co-workers.

2. "Radiant City" (1996) Kirstie plays a cheating housewife in New York City in the 1950's.

3. "Family Sins" (2004) Kirstie plays a terrible woman guilty of many crimes. The least of which is making her foster children shoplift.

4. "Suddenly" (1996) GREAT TV movie! Kirstie plays a waitress who gets hit by a bus.

5. "Profoundly Normal" (2003) Kirstie plays a mentally challenged woman.

6. "David's Mother" (1994) Kirstie struggles to raise her autistic son. Stockard Channing plays her sister.

7. "Toothless" (1997) Kirstie dies and is re-incarnated as the Tooth Fairy in this family TV movie.

I just wanted to update, since I've seen more of her TV movies since starting this thread:

8. Infidelity (1987) Kirstie is a photographer in Africa with her husband, but they mainly spend most of their time at home in the US. Kirstie learns that her husband is cheating on her with her best friend. Not great, but still entertaining and watchable.

9. Sins of the Past (1984) Kirstie and several other women (Kim Cattrall, Debby Boone, and Barbara Carrera) are former prostitutes who have moved on with their lives after the murder of one of their colleagues. Now, the man who (they think) killed their co-worker is back, trying to kill the rest of them.
***SPOILER*** The best scene is at the end, they are at an enormous stadium theater, and Carrera realizes that Cattrall is really the killer, and the two women fight in the rafters while Debby Boone sings onstage.

10. Write & Wrong (2007) Kirstie plays a screenwriter who has a younger man submit her work, due to the studio's ageism and sexism. Very bland. The best part is the opening credits- the song "And She Was" plays while Kirstie goes about her day.

I've seen Profoundly Normal, Its a very good movie about a true story if no*one knew it was a true story, Anyway A Bunny's Tale,David's Mother, Infidelity, Sins of the past all look interesting, I've seen the beginning of Write & Wrong but I havent seen the whole movie, Wouldnt mind seeing it again though so I can watch all of it, I love her on Cheers and in The Look Who's Talking movies, She's a very good actress and it isnt bad that she's from my city and state
