Actress Jessica Walter, best known for her roles on TV’s Arrested Development and Archer, has died. She was 80.
In a statement to People magazine, her daughter, Brooke Bowman, says her mother died in her sleep on Wednesday while staying at her home in New York City. “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of my beloved mom Jessica. 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  .”
Walter’s other credits include the movies Play Misty for Me and The Flamingo Kid as well as the TV shows Trapper John M.D. and Streets of San Francisco.

Johnny Depp won’t get a chance to overturn the ruling in his U.K. libel lawsuit. The star has lost his bid for an appeal.
Johnny sued The Sun for calling him a “wife beater” a few years back. In November a judge ruled the allegations he abused ex-wife Amber Heard were “substantially true.” Now the judge has upheld that ruling.
According to TMZ, Johnny’s lawyers recently “tried to argue that Amber had an unfair advantage and boosted credibility because she vowed to donate her entire $7 million divorce settlement … something she still hasn’t done.”
His lawyers now tell TMZ that the evidence it presented in his bid to appeal “further demonstrates that there are clear and objective reasons to seriously question the decision reached.”

People magazine says Alex Rodriguez is doing everything he can to save his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. A source tells the magazine, “Alex remains committed to working on things with Jennifer. It was important to Jennifer that Alex stepped up in a public way and showed his level of commitment to her with a trip to see her while working. Jennifer appreciates big gestures like these. … Things between the two of them are heading in the right direction. Jennifer will be in the Dominican shooting the film for several more weeks, so Alex will be trying to make it over there from Miami as often as his schedule allows. Jennifer is struggling with trust issues. They are far from planning a wedding again, but they are still engaged.”
