⭐️⭐️⭐️ Comedian George Lopez often shares how his grandmother, Benita Gutiérrez, shaped his life. She raised him, inspired a sitcom character, and even in her final years — living with dementia — she kept her trademark Latina toughness and wit.
Lopez has turned their personal story into advocacy, honoring his abuela by showing that it’s ok to "talk about it."
In a stand-up routine, he mentioned her response to the diagnosis:
👉 The doctor said, “You’re going to start forgetting people.”
And Benita replied: “Mira, I can’t wait to forget people,” then turned to George and said, "C’mon Larry, let’s go!" 😂
That mix of resilience and humor lives on through George’s voice. 💜
