Damn. She was phenomenal on Arrested Development.
More recently, I enjoyed her work on Good Girls.

She was just wonderful as Lucille! I loved how she would just lose it and crack up laughing every time she encountered Gene Parmesan!

Our grand nieces and nephews do too. This is a tough one for this "Gangy," and my adult kids who insisted that I take this grandma name. We quote Arrested Development all the time for fun.
RIP sweet lady.

(1,979 posts)I loved Play Misty for Me and YES she was freakin SCARY! She was in an episode of The Big Bang Theory. She was great.

(11,592 posts)The consolation is that she had a long, full life, and probably loved that life. There was a report that she died in her sleep, but I didn't see that fact anywhere else.
