Jessica Walter by Alexandra Wyman/WireImage.com
Cheers to Jessica Walter for continuing to develop her career after more than 40 years. The versatile actress recurs as Holly Hunter's in-denial mom on Saving Grace and recently guested as a mother-in-law from hell on Law & Order: Criminal Intent. Plus, she's been cast as a '70s movie star-turned-alcoholic granny on The CW's update of 90210. (Walter's fans will recall she was a movie star in the '70s, most notably as a psycho in Clint Eastwood's proto-Fatal Attraction thriller, Play Misty for Me). And if the reports are to be believed, Walter will soon reprise her Emmy-nominated role as Lucille Bluth in a big-screen version of Arrested Development. Pretty impressive, considering most actresses of Walter's age can't get arrested. • Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine!

Finally, an Arrested Development movie is in the offing."It's in the works," costar Jason Bateman told MSNBC's Keith Olbermann last night. "The grown-ups are trying to work out the numbers."He also told the Times of London the movie version — slated for a 2009 release — will have a different feel than the TV series: "When it was on TV, if you missed one word the whole third act could be blown for you. And TV is a different experience. You come home and you've got to finish a call so you miss the first ten minutes or you get snacky and you go to the fridge and you miss another two minutes, so it's a different experience to film." — J.R.
