For decades, she was a constant presence on both the small and big screens. She wasn’t always in the spotlight — but when she appeared, people remembered. Whether delivering sharp one-liners in a hit comedy series or lending her voice to a deeply beloved animated film, she brought characters to life in a way that made them unforgettable.

This week, the entertainment world lost someone whose legacy goes far beyond her filmography. Fans, colleagues, and loved ones are mourning a woman who gave everything to her craft — a performer whose work left a mark across generations. Her passing, while not unexpected due to illness, still came as a deep blow to those who knew what she brought to every project.

Online, tributes have poured in from across the globe. Fans have shared clips of her most iconic scenes, heartfelt posts about how her work touched their lives, and memories of growing up hearing her voice. There’s a shared sense of loss — not just for the person, but for the comforting presence she represented.

It is now confirmed that Renee Victor, best known for playing the no-nonsense housemaid Lupita in Weeds and for voicing the fiercely protective grandmother Abuelita in Pixar’s Coco, has died at the age of 86 following a battle with lymphoma. She passed peacefully at her home in Sherman Oaks, surrounded by family.

Victor’s career spanned more than four decades, from early roles in Hotel and Matlock to later appearances in Dead to Me, Snowpiercer, and With Love. But it was her powerful, deeply human performance in Coco that won her international acclaim and cemented her as a cultural icon — particularly in Latin American and Spanish-speaking communities.

While she may be gone, Renee Victor’s voice will continue to echo in hearts, homes, and film history.
