CHIKUN/KAJURU REP, HON. FIDELIX BAGUDU, ANNOUNCES NEW APPOINTMENTS TO STRENGTHEN INCLUSIVE GOVERNANCE. (PHOTO).
Born in San Antonio and later moving to Los Angeles in the 1960s, Renée began her entertainment career as a singer with prominent Latin big bands, working alongside legends like Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado. Her transition to acting in the mid-1980s led to memorable roles in "Matlock," "The Addams Family," and notably as Lupita in Showtime's "Weeds."
However, it was her role as the fierce, loving grandmother in 2017's "Coco" that cemented her legacy. The film, which respectfully celebrated Mexican culture and Día de Muertos, became a box office sensation and won two Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature. Victor's authentic portrayal of Abuelita resonated with audiences worldwide, making her voice synonymous with unconditional family love.
Her daughters' statement beautifully captures her impact: "Renee was loved by so many & had fans all over the world. Those who knew her will always cherish her memory."
