Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E) - Kristie Alley looked ready to collapse in a snapshot of her leaving a studio in Los Angeles for her Dancing with the Stars rehearsals Wednesday.

The star, who was photographed walking from the studio to her car, wore a loose-fitting blue shirt and leggings, had smudged makeup and extra-tousled hair and a look of someone deprived of the basic human right to rest and sleep.

The 61-year-old then quietly escaped to her car and drove away, still looking extremely exhausted. Reports say it must have been an intense practice for her and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who was also seen leaving the studio, albeit looking fresh and trim.

Alley and Chmerkovskiy bagged second place in season 11 and are reported to work double time to do better this season.
