She is best known for her unforgettable performance in the 1971 movie ''Play Misty for Me'', in which she played an attractive, psychotic young woman stalking a disc jockey (played by Clint Eastwood). It is a subtle performance of a deranged woman scorned after a one-night stand. Walter's other film credits include ''Lilith'', ''Grand Prix'', ''The Group'', ''Bye Bye Braverman'', and ''Number One''.
These films were all made prior to 1975, and since then, Walter has done extensive television work, though she did appear as the token mean university president in 1994's PCU. Walter lent her voice to Fran Sinclair on the ABC comedy ''Dinosaurs'', and appeared on ''Just Shoot Me!'' as Eve Gallo, the mother of Maya and the ex-wife of magazine publisher Jack Gallo (George Segal).
Most recently she appeared as the hilarious, scheming socialite matriarch Lucille Bluth, who has a very unhealthy relationship with her son "Buster" on FOX's now defunct, but critically acclaimed comedy series ''Arrested Development''.
She is married to actor, and occasional co-star, Ron Leibman.
