Who played the part of Lucille Austero in the American TV sitcom "Arrested Development"?

"Arrested Development" is an American television sitcom created by Mitchell Hurwitz, which originally aired on Fox for three seasons from November 2, 2003, to February 10, 2006. The show follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy dysfunctional family. It is presented in a serialized format, incorporating handheld camera work, voice-over narration, archival photos, and historical footage. The show also maintains numerous running gags and catchphrases. Set in Newport Beach, California, Arrested Development was filmed primarily in Culver City and Marina del Rey.

Liza Minnelli played Lucille Austero, AKA "Lucille 2", Lucille's "best friend and chief social rival" as well as a sometimes-love-interest of Buster and, later, GOB. Ron Howard aided in the casting of "Lucille 2"; the producers told him that their dream actress for the role was Liza Minnelli but assumed no one of her stature would take the part. She agreed when Ron Howard asked her himself, because they were old friends; she had been his babysitter when he was a teenager.

Liza May Minnelli (born March 12, 1946) is an American actress and singer, best known for her Academy Award-winning performance in "Cabaret" (1972), the film "Arthur" (1981), several hit albums and many other film and television appearances. She is famous for her energetic stage presence and her powerful alto singing voice. She is the daughter of actress and singer Judy Garland and director Vincente Minnelli.
