Full Jessica Walter Biography
Jessica Walter (born January 31, 1941) is an Emmy Award-winning American actress best known for her role as Lucille Bluth on the critically acclaimed television show Arrested Development.
Her earliest notable film role was in the 1971 movie Play Misty for Me, in which she played a psychotic young woman stalking a disc jockey (played by Clint Eastwood). Walter's other film credits from that era include Lilith, Grand Prix, The Group, Bye Bye Braverman, and Number One.
She was the producers first choice for the role of "Alexis Carrington" in the Primetime soap Dynasty.
Since then, Walter has worked most frequently in television and theater, though she did make an appearance in the 1994 film PCU. In the nineties, Walter lent her voice to Fran Sinclair on the ABC comedy Dinosaurs, and appeared on Just Shoot Me! as Eve Gallo, the mother of Maya and the ex-wife of magazine publisher Jack Gallo (George Segal).
From 2003 to 2006, she appeared in a regular role as the scheming socialite matriarch Lucille Bluth on FOX's critically acclaimed comedy series, Arrested Development. Despite her convincing portrayal of Lucille (in 2005, Walter received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the role), the actress has maintained that "I'm nothing like Lucille. Nothing. My daughter will tell you. I'm really a very nice, boring person."
The actress's daughter, Brooke, was born in 1975. Since 1983, Walter has been married to actor Ron Leibman, with whom she co-starred in Neil Simon's play Rumors. |
