Jessica Walter misbehaves on screen, charms in real life

After a seven-year hiatus, Emmy-winning actress Jessica Walter is back to playing the booze-soaked matriarch Lucille Bluth on the sitcom Arrested Development. She also voices spy boss Mallory Archer on FX’s Archer. During her prolific career across television, film, and theater, she’s played more than a few villains – but while directors cast her as someone audiences love to hate, in real life Ms Walter is perfectly sweet…and she graciously offers up thoughts on favorite sons (in-law), and insufferable dolts.
