Long, Shelley (1949—)
In 1982, Shelley Long premiered as the overeducated barmaid Diane Chambers on the sitcom Cheers. Diane's on-again/off-again romance with bar owner Sam Malone (Ted Danson) made the show a hit, but Long left the series at the height of its success, in 1987, to pursue a film career which quickly fizzled. Her films include The Money Pit (1986), Outrageous Fortune (1987), and The Brady Bunch Movie (1995).
