This sucks. She was amazing in Arrested Development and Archer. Archer is going to be very upset.

Arrested Development is a top-five all time sitcom.

Her character in "Play Misty For Me" was basically the same character Glenn Close played in "Fatal Attraction," only about 16 years earlier. Could go from hot to psycho in a heartbeat.
