Alley, who was raised Methodist, is now known as one of the few Scientologists in Hollywood
Alley, who became a member of the Church of Scientology in 1979, has been living semi-permanently in Clearwater after purchasing a waterfront property just a stone's throw from the church's global headquarters in 2000.
An outspoken supporter of President Donald Trump, the actress has made headlines in recent years over her controversial opinions.
She drew backlash once again last week after firing off a series of tweets railing against the 'perverse' content being normalized on the internet and on television.
She was condemned by activists, fellow celebrities and LGBTQ groups for the outburst.
'Was watching TV...we've gone too far in my opinion. I feel sorry for our children,' she tweeted last Friday.
'Their exposure to everything perverse on every kind of screen is mind boggling. And even more tragic, it's being hyped as 'normal'.'

Alley has claimed that her conservative political views have put her at odds with most stars in woke Hollywood
Earlier this year, Alley - who has not starred in a movie since 2015 - questioned why her Hollywood peers can behave in illegal or unethical ways and not receive the same type of ostracization that she has
'No other generation has had such easy access to the underbelly of humanity. SO many screens & chronic bombardment of images and concepts. Our current society would have been praising Caligula. Protect your children,' she continued.
'People are becoming so 'open minded' that down the road they will support pedophilia as people 'just loving children.' You think I'm kidding. I'm not.
'It's the direction this insanity is headed. You can 'ok boomer' me all you want but this is where we will veer unless we change,' she added.
Back in May, Alley appeared as a guest on Tucker Carlson Today where she admitted that her conservative political views have put her at odds with most stars in woke Hollywood.
She told the Fox News host that she was first warned to keep quiet about her interest in Trump back in 2015, with a producer telling her that she would stop getting roles if she came out as conservative.
She claimed the unidentified producer was also a Trump fan, but chose to keep quiet for fear they'd 'never work again'. Alley, however, chose to speak up.

'People go, 'You're so brave.' I go, 'No, I think I'm stupid'. Because honestly... it is a real blackballing situation,' she stated.
'It's so strange to me because artists are free-thinkers for the most part.'
Alley - who has not starred in a movie since 2015 - argued that her Hollywood peers can behave in illegal or unethical ways and still not receive the same type of ostracization that she has.
'You can be cooking meth and sleeping with hookers but as long as you didn't vote for Trump you're ,' she told Carlson.
'I feel like I'm in the 'Twilight Zone' a bit with the whole concept of it.'
She revealed that she voted for Obama in both 2008 and 2012 but threw her support in 2016 after criticizing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
