Karen Walker (Will & Grace)
Karen Walker (''née'' Delaney; previously St. Croix, Popeil, and Finster) is a fictional character on the American television sitcom ''Will & Grace'', portrayed by Megan Mullally. Although Karen was originally conceived as a supporting character role for ''Will & Grace'', her escapades became a more prominent part of the show based on viewer reaction. She was a multi-millionaire, thanks to her marriage to Stan Walker (an unseen character), until it was discovered that all of his money was loaned after their divorce in the series finale. However, at the end of the series, she regains this status. The 2017 revival of the series retconned that revelation as one of Karen's daydreams; she is still rich and still married to Stan. However, in the tenth season, Karen and Stan go through another divorce after she is caught cheating on him with his friend, a government agent by the name of Malcolm Widmark (Alec Baldwin), she struggles with her loneliness and erratic emotions. Karen has ...
