Amazing roles over the years, most notably Arrested Development's Lucille Bluth and a big part in Archer.

I didn't watch Arrested Development so I almost didn't recognize her. Then I tried to remember where I knew her from and checked her bio. She was never the star of a big series that I watched, but she was a guest star on every show I watched in the 70's and 80's . I just kept scrolling and scrolling through her imdb bio. What a remarkable career.

Stirling's mother RIP

I'll always remember her as Evelyn, the knife wielding stalker in Play Misty for Me.

She was so beautiful and had such an air of sophistication. I love her speaking voice, with that little touch of huskiness.

Archer will never be the same without her as his badass Mom. I think she could do anything and seemed to enjoy the variety. RIP.

The last time I saw her in anything was on The Big Bang Theory. She played a rich donor to the universary & ended up having a night of sex with Leonard (Johnny Galecki).

I really loved Arrested Development. She was great in that episode of TBBT too.

This really sucks. I didn't think of her being 80 years old, and assumed she would be with us for years to come. Lucille Bluth is one of the all-time greatest television characters, and apparently the total opposite of Jessica Walter.

Incidentally enough, about 10 years ago I re-watched my Arrested Development DVDs with my boyfriend at the time. He didn't get it AT ALL and in retrospect that was the moment I should have realized we weren't compatible.
