TampaBay: Kirstie Alley's company in Clearwater may want to sell you life insurance (http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/kirsties-alleys-company-in-clearwater-may-want-to-sell-you-life-insurance/1221661)
CLEARWATER — Would you buy life insurance from Kirstie Alley?
Weird question, we know. The television and movie actor providing for one's family after death may seem a bit … strange.
But quietly tucked in the federal trademark books are hints at Alley's first foray into insurance. Perhaps even stranger is its connection to her diet and weight-loss program.
In 2009, Alley's Clearwater-based company registered the trademark for Organic Liaison, a line of supplements, sleep aids, muscle relaxers and colon cleansers.
The company seemed an understandable next step for Alley, 61, once the butt of gossip magazine weight jokes. She had recently left as spokeswoman for weight-loss conglomerate Jenny Craig.
But on that same day, Organic Liaison also registered a much less predictable trademark: Organic Liaison Life Insurance Solutions. [more (http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/kirsties-alleys-company-in-clearwater-may-want-to-sell-you-life-insurance/1221661)]
