  "account": "Mary Rivera, the actress who portrayed Lola, Ned Leeds' wife, in the blockbuster film \"Spider-Man: No Way Home,\" has passed away at the age of 82. Rivera's final resting place is in Honolulu, Hawaii, where she was laid to rest on April 15. Known for her brief yet pivotal role in the film, Rivera made her screen debut in the third installment of the \"Spider-Man\" series, which became the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time. Rivera's character, Ned's Lola, had a series of humorous interactions with the multiple versions of Spider-Man, ultimately teaching Ned that his family is magical. Rivera's role was only one of her many gigs before her retirement from being a missionary. Her death comes shortly after \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day,\" a sequel to \"No Way Home,\" achieved record-breaking box office success.",
