Renée Victor, the voice of no-nonsense Abuelita in 'Coco,' dies at 86
Renée Victor, who voiced the no-nonsense, sandal-throwing Abuelita in Disney's animated hit "Coco" and played the wisecracking Lupita on Showtime's "Weeds," has died. She was 86. Victor's death was confirmed Monday by a representative, Julie Smith, who said the actor had lymphoma for several years. She died Friday at her home in Sherman Oaks, California, Smith said, with family by her side. A post on the Instagram feed of Pixar, which produced "Coco," said: "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." Victor appeared in 22 episodes of "Weeds" as sassy housekeeper Lupita between 2005 and 2012, among many other TV credits including "ER," "Matlock" and "The Addams Family." But she was perhaps best known for what she called the chancla-throwing grandmother in "Coco," the 2017 family-friendly movie that explored death through the journey of a young Mexican boy to the land of the dead. "I play the part of 'Abuelita,' the chancla throwing grandma that preaches 'No Music!'" she wrote on Instagram, looking back several years ago. "Enjoy 'Coco' with your family this Dia de los Muertos and forever more!" She also looked back at "The Apostle," the 1997 movie that Robert Duvall wrote, directed and starred in. "He took a chance on me with this film," Victor wrote on Instagram. "This is where I got my nickname 'one take Renée,'" she said, adding laughter emojis. "I had a small role but what a great one! Can somebody give me an amen?!" Born in San Antonio, Texas, on July 25, 1938, Victor began her performing career as a singer and dancer. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1960s, according to biography material provided by her representatives, where she launched her career singing with prominent big band leaders Xavier Cugat and Pérez Prado. She also taught Latin dancing, including salsa and the tango. She met her future husband, Ray, during that period, and from 1963 to 1973, they performed together as "Ray & Renée," a variety show that took them around the world — including Australia, where "they enjoyed particular fame," the materials said. In the 1970s, Victor hosted the "Pacesetters" public affairs show on KTLA, her representatives said, and by the '80s had moved into TV and film work. Her film credits, other than "The Apostle," included the 2014 horror film "Paranormal Activity 5: The Marked Ones," "The Doctor" with William Hurt (1991), and "A Night in Old Mexico" (2013), also with Duvall. In 2004, she had a recurring role as Florina Lopez on TV's "ER," and the following year was cast in "Weeds." Other series credits included "Snowpiercer" (2020-2021), "Mayans M.C." (2022), "Dead to Me" (2020-2022), and Amazon's "With Love" (2021-2023). Victor is survived by her daughters, Raquel and Margo Victor, Smith said.

Hundreds of Disney employees terminated from company after layoffs
Disney implemented its fourth and largest round of layoffs in the past year, primarily affecting its television operations. The layoffs impact various departments, including corporate financial operations, film, television, marketing, television publicity, casting, and development, with most affected staff based in Los Angeles. Previous rounds of layoffs included 200 workers three months ago, impacting ABC News in New York and Disney -owned entertainment networks, and another cut of about 40 employees at ABC News in October. The cost-cutting measures are partly attributed to the rise of streaming platforms, leading consumers to shift away from traditional TV. In 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger set a goal to reduce operating costs by $7.5 billion, resulting in the elimination of 7,000 jobs; he also emphasized plans to create new jobs in experience sectors and theme parks.

Disney hit with another round of layoffs with hundreds losing their jobs
Hundreds of Disney employees were terminated from the company after another round of layoffs at the company on Monday. It's the fourth and largest round of Disney layoffs in the past year and this time targets the company's television operations. Company higher-ups confirmed the layoffs to Deadline but the exact number of employees to be impacted has not yet been announced. The cuts impact corporate financial operations, film, television, marketing, television publicity, casting and development departments. No teams are being eliminated, the outlet reported, and most of the impacted staffers are based in Los Angeles. Three months ago, Disney terminated 200 workers, including staffers at ABC News in New York and Disney-owned entertainment networks. In that round of layoffs, which officials said were due to shrinking TV ratings and revenue, staff was reduced by six percent. In October, ABC News cut about 40 employees. That same month, the company underwent a restructuring that saw ABC Signature, a production arm of ABC, fold into 20th Television. Teams working on ABC and Hulu Originals scripted comedies and dramas were consolidated, resulting in 30 more layoffs. Other Disney TV stations also lost staffers. The push to cut costs is partly due to the rise of streaming platforms as consumers ditch traditional TV for streaming services, including Netflix, Paramount+ and Disney+. In 2023, Disney CEO Bob Iger set a goal of reducing operating costs by $7.5bn. That year, the company eliminated 7,000 jobs. The Independent has contacted Disney for comment. Disney stock traded lower Monday but was slightly up in the after-hours market. The company reported better-than-expected earnings in its Q2 report last month. The increased revenue was driven by direct-to-consumer operating profit increasing by $289m to $336m. While speaking at the company's annual shareholder meeting, Iger emphasized plans to create new jobs predominantly in experience sectors and theme parks.
