It emerged over the weekend that Victor, a well-known TV and film star who was 86, passed away at her home in Sherman Oaks, California on May 30th after a long fight with lymphoma, surrounded by her family. Known for her roles in the 2017 animated feature film Coco as Miguel’s grandmother, Showtime’s dark comedy-drama Weeds as Lupita, and many other productions throughout her extensive career spanning decades, she will be deeply missed.
