Jessica Walter (January 31, 1941 – March 24, 2021)

As “Mrs. Latham,” I think she is indelibly fixed in the memory of every Big Bang fan who saw her episode. Hard to think about her performance as school-benefactor and Leonard-seducer (a/k/a Cougar) without smiling.

I’ve heard a lot of accolades regarding her performance on “Arrested Development”; but, I didn’t watch that show. However, I watch “Archer” where she plays the title character’s (Beverly-like) mother and (Drill Sergeant-like) boss. She is in the upcoming season of Archer, so fans don’t have to say goodbye just yet.

I also started 2 threads on her death. It's sad that they got very little response (one on her personal page). Since AR was so popular (I didn't watch it though), I expected at least some responses.

To paraphrase:

May those that enjoyed her work, take the time to say so;
and for those too lazy to acknowledge her,
may God turn their hearts;
and  if He can't turn their hearts,
may He turn their ankles,
so we may know them
by their limping.
