Mary Rivera, the Filipino grandmother of Ned Leeds in Spider-Man No Way Home, has died at the age of 82

Mary Egida Rivera, an actress who played the role of Lola, the grandmother of Ned Leeds in the movie 'Spider-Man No Way Home,' has passed away at the age of 82. She died on April 15 in Honolulu after suffering a stroke. Her family was informed by doctors that her condition was critical, and even if she had emerged from a coma, her prognosis would not have been favorable. As a result, the family decided to remove life-support measures. Rivera was born in Iloilo, Philippines, in 1943 and was encouraged by her relatives to audition for the role of Lola, which she performed in one of the most iconic scenes of the film. In this scene, through her grandson Ned's translation, she asked Spider-Man, portrayed by Andrew Garfield, to remove cobwebs from a corner of a room.
