Alley: 'I would be dead without Scientology'

Actress Kirstie Alley "would be dead" without Scientology, according to a video clip promoting the faith.

The star gives a testimonial for the religion in 'Orientation: A Scientology Information Film', alongside various other Scientologists and the movement's founder, L Ron Hubbard.

Identified on screen only as an actress, Alley tells viewers in the footage posted on Defamer.com: "Honest to God truth, without Scientology, I would be dead. Personally, I recommend it."

Alley is the latest star to appear in a video promoting Scientology - earlier this month, Tom Cruise received a barrage of bad press after a pro-Scientology video featuring the actor was leaked on the Internet.
