SpainMary Rivera, who played the grandmother of Ned Leeds in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' has passed away at the age of 82. She suffered a stroke and was taken off life support after doctors warned her family that her prognosis would not be good even if she recovered from the coma. Before her acting career, Rivera had been a missionary, teacher, and radio host. She decided to audition for the role of Lola, a Filipino grandmother, after learning about the casting call. Her performance in the film was brief but memorable, particularly in a scene where she humorously interacts with Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man character. Jacob Batalon, who played Ned Leeds, paid tribute to Rivera on social media.
