Well this is awkward.
Actor Kristen Johnston has graced our TVs—and the big screen—for years.
She's had roles in major films like Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Ice Age and Bride Wars.
Most of us, however, recognize her for her television roles, especially Sally Solomon from 3rd Rock from the Sun and the infamous Lexi Featherston from the Sex and the City episode "Splat." You know, the one in which she says, "I'm so bored I could die," and then proceeds to fall out the window.
Well, since Kirstie Alley's death on Monday, many tweets have been circulating paying tribute to the late Featherston.

One tiny little thing, though.
That is Kristen Johnston...not Kirstie Alley.
Some users owned up to their mistake.

\u201c@JerasIkehorn I have to confess, I\u2019m one of those who until yesterday confused Kristen Johnston with Kirstie Alley. I loved Third Rock From The Sun.\u201d— Jeras Ikehorn (@Jeras Ikehorn) 1670293763

The rest, however, were called out.

Johnston herself has even tried to end the confusion.

Hi. I’m the actress in this scene. I’m also still alive, as far as I know. Thanks everyone who reached out yesterday, may the actual Kirstie Alley rest in peace. ❤️

One thing's for sure—we are so glad Johnston is still here to entertain us.
In fact, you can listen to her on the Wondery podcast Naughty which came out on Monday.
\u201cI never thought I\u2019d voice a 500 year old chain smoking Jewish elf who goes on a road trip to save Xmas but here we are. \nThis insane & hilarious podcast was written by John Hill & David Ludwig, & also features a bunch of other absolute comedy legends! \n\nhttps://t.co/Kb4GcZ0WDt\u201d— kristen johnston (@kristen johnston) 1670276624
