Jessica Walter, the beloved actor whose decade-spanning career never slowed down, has died at age 80. The Emmy winner and four-time nominee passed in her sleep, Deadline reports.

In recent years, Walter has offered side-splittingly sardonic performances in both Arrested Development, in which she played the sharp-tongued Bluth matriarch Lucille, and Archer, in which she voiced the titular spy’s delightfully impossible mother, Malory. But her career encompasses six decades and began on the stage before she transitioned to television and film.

“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of my beloved mom Jessica,” Walter’s daughter, Brooke Bowman, said in a statement. “A working actor for over six decades, her greatest pleasure was bringing joy to others through her storytelling both on screen and off. While her legacy will live on through her body of work, she will also be remembered by many for her wit, class and overall joie de vivre.”

I just found out about this. I know her from Archer and Arrested Development. Glad she went in her sleep at least. Her husband had died a few years ago.

I'm so sad bout this. Archer was starting to get good again, too, and it won't be the same without her.

I wonder if she passed from heartache. Her husband passed away not too long ago.

If she went in her sleep, she could have had one while sleeping or maybe she just went peacefully. This is not unheard of for a wife or husband to die in their sleep a few years after their partner. It is a heartwarming and heartbreaking thing at the same time.
