Paying tribute. Steve Guttenberg is remembering his late It Takes Two costar Kirstie Alley after her death at age 71.“Kirstie met me at her house with a tuna sandwich on my favorite bread,” the Three Men and a Baby star, 64, recalled via Instagram on Monday, December 5, reminiscing about filming the fan-favorite ‘90s movie with the Cheers alum.

He accompanied the caption with a sweet photo of himself and the actress, who, in the movie, portrayed a millionaire and a social worker, respectively.

The pair are set up by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s sneaky lookalike characters after they decide to swap places a la The Parent Trap.“‘Steve, I know all about you and your love of rye bread … eat some tuna,’” he remembered Alley saying to him. “We were rehearsing ‘It Takes Two’, and every day she amazed me with her generosity of the tangible and with her soulfulness.

The world is a bit empty without Kirstie.”Guttenberg’s tribute to Alley came just hours after her children announced her death via her Instagram account on Monday.“We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered,” her family wrote alongside a photo of the late star on a swing. “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.
