“She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,” he said. “She had to get up at 5 a.m. for her part. One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said, ‘Honey, this is work.’ But she wouldn’t budge. So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time.”
On January 1, 2026, multiple outlets reported that Victoria was found dead at the age of 34 in a San Francisco, California, hotel.
