We first met on a pilot in ‘96 and I was instantly blown away
I’m fortunate to have had a front row seat to her brilliance for 25 years
My thoughts are with her daughter Brooke and grandson Micah today
Farewell Jessica, you’ll be missed

Jessica Walter was a queen in every way: kind, classy, incredibly talented, generous with love & support. And so insanely funny. She was the brilliant center of our @archerfxx universe. Sweet flight to you, dear Jessica. You were so loved, and we were so lucky to know you. 💔 pic.twitter.com/0fsXh6CwbS

RIP Jessica Walter. One of the funniest lines still ever delivered is:
Michael: Get rid of the Seaward.
Lucille: I’ll leave when I’m good and ready.
😂😭

This is so incredibly sad. I loved Jessica so much. She was so funny and marched to the tune of her own drummer. A true original whom I had the honor of working with several times. So much love to you, Jessica. Rest In Peace. ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/Sm0tqvE4Os

And many fans shared tweets about some of their favorite Jessica Walter moments, most of them remembering her scene-stealing lines from “Arrested Development.”
RIP Jessica Walter. I don't know if any actor ever conveyed more with a wink. Her Lucille Bluth was the best satire of the smug rich ever done. Her voice all transatlantic arrogance, vodka delusion, and charming ignorance. The Motherboy episode alone, my god. A true comic genius. pic.twitter.com/nwMPzfbD6i

Jessica Walter was the funniest part of the funniest show on television and she made it look easy. Her delivery of "Oh really - did nothing cancel?" and "She tried pesto!" and "Is Rosa alive? No? Ok this is not my day." will make me laugh forever.

God Mallory Archer was truly the baddest, meanest, funniest woman of them all. Jessica Walter’s line readings were always so A1. It hurts so so much. pic.twitter.com/Av4ZhquxWO
