RIP Jessica Walter
Everyone who has ever watched Arrested Development will recognise and admire the genius comic delivery of Jessica Walter, whose passing rocked the world of comedy on Thursday night. Today’s Netflix audience know her for Lucille Bluth, the ignorant, selfish matriarch in Arrested Development who gifted the world the incredible line, “it’s one banana Michael, what can it cost, 10 dollars?”
But spanning over a 60-year career, Walter also won an Emmy for her role in Amy Prentiss in 1975, and will be recognised by a millennial audience for her role in spy cartoon Archer, in which she played the former CEO of the International Secret Intelligence Service, and mother of the main character. She always had the funniest lines in that as well.
Truly one of the greatest comedy actors of all time. Rest easy, Jessica.
Enjoy the quiz.
