Actress Renée Victor, known for her role as Lupita in Showtime’s Weeds and being the voice of Abuelita in Pixar’s Coco, has passed away at the age of 86. According to her representative, Victor died surrounded by close family at her home in Sherman Oaks on Sunday night after battling lymphoma.

Victor was born in 1938 in San Antonio, Texas, and moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, wanting to further her career as a musician. She began her career singing with prominent bandleaders like Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado, two musicians who pioneered the popularization of Latin music in the United States. In 1963, Victor began performing in a duo with her husband named “Ray & Renée” that lasted until 1973.

Victor began her career in television in 1970, when she was the host of Pacesetters, “a KTLA program that spotlighted the Chicano movement.” In 1992, Victor had her first voice acting role in the form of The Addams Family animated series. She has had additional roles in Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, ER, and Tyler Perry’s House of Payne. In 2005, Victor joined Weeds, playing Mary-Louise Parker’s character’s housekeeper, Lupita. In 2017, Victor portrayed Aubelita in Coco, a critical hit that went on to receive two Academy Awards, one for Best Animated Feature and one for Best Original Song, “Remember Me,” which was written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.

Pixar shared a post on Instagram after the news of Victor passing; the statement read, “We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Renée Victor, the voice of Abuelita in Coco and an incredible part of the Pixar family. We will always remember you.” Gloria Calderón Kellett, who co-starred with Victor in Prime Video’s With Love, also took to Instagram with a heartfelt message. Kellett described the joy of working with Victor, having known her since being a writer’s assistant on The Ortegas, a series where Victor had a starring role. Kellett wrote, “Renee was a true pro. A scene-stealer. A joy. A blessing. Her artistry made everything better, and her presence made every set brighter. Thank you, Renee, for the laughs, the lessons, and the love. You will be missed deeply and remembered always.”

Victor is survived by her two daughters, Raquel and Margo.
