Jessica Walter, whose Emmy-winning acting career included "Arrested Development" and "Archer," has died.

She was 80.

Walter's daughter Brooke Bowman told Deadline that her mother died in her sleep at home in New York City on Wednesday.

"It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of my beloved mom Jessica," Bowman told Deadline. "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."

Walter was known for her role as the controlling matriarch of the Bluth family, Lucille Bluth, on "Arrested Development," which originally aired on Fox from 2003 to 2006. It was later revived by Netflix in 2013. Her character was known for her reactions to the antics of her four adult children on the show, with many of her facial expressions becoming meme fodder in later years.

Walter received an Emmy nomination for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series in 2005 for the role, though she would later tell Entertainment Weekly that she was "nothing" like Lucille.

"My daughter will tell you," she said. "I'm really a very nice, boring person."
