The late Kirstie Alley's possessions are available to the public.
An estate sale of the "Cheers" actress organized by Those Two Girls Estate Sales is underway in Clearwater, Florida.
The cash-only event is spanning over two weeks, from Wednesday to Saturday and again next week from Thursday to Saturday.
Items from her homes in Maine, California and Florida range from $25 to $18,000 for a ballgown the actress wore in a Jenny Craig commercial, according to Tampa Bay Times. There's even a dress she wore while competing on "Dancing With the Stars" in 2011.
The estate sale's co-owner Bill Wallace told the Tampa Bay Times piecing Alley's collection together was "exciting" and "arduous" because she had a wide range of items including "15 vintage doors."
"It wasn’t because she was a hoarder or a collector. She had actually purchased the house that she was retiring to, and she wanted it to be authentic," he said of the doors. "There’s French chateau, there’s American mid with the vinyl and the chrome and glass table. When you look at the pictures of how she had her house set up, it all worked.”
In addition to doors and dresses, Wallace toured with Fox 13, and revealed some of Alley's scripts with annotated notes are among the sale items. However, there are none from "Cheers" or "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."
"We're not here for the movie memorabilia," Wallace said, adding that is something her family may choose to do in the future.

Alley, best known for her breakout role as Rebecca Howe on the hit NBC sitcom "Cheers," died from colon cancer in December 2022 at age 71.
Her children, True and Lillie Parker, shared the news in a statement posted to their late mother's Instagram. A representative for Alley later confirmed she died of colon cancer to USA TODAY.
"We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered," read the statement. Alley had not previously disclosed her cancer diagnosis.
"She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead," her children said. "As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother."
Alley's career took off after starring in "Cheers" from 1987 to 1993 as the love interest of Ted Danson's character Sam Malone. In 1991, she won an Emmy for best lead actress in a comedy series for her role on the show.
Over the years, she amassed roles in "David's Mother," "Veronica's Closet," "Look Who's Talking," "Fat Actress" and "Scream Queens." She also documented her weight loss journey in the reality TV series "Kirstie Alley's Big Life" after years of public fascination with her body.
