It was Gwen, both in the original comic from 1973 and from the Garfield movie; the first McGuire movie, however, paid it very close homage with MJ, though, so the confusion is understandable.The reason why Alicia survived and Mary Jane didn't (I forgot if it was MJ or Gwen Stacy now tbh, haven't seen the AG Spiderman films on years)
(Slightly twisted) Fun fact: Gwen's cause of death is actually slightly different between the comic and the movie because of the different ways their respective Spider-man "rescued" her.
In the comic, Spidey webs her legs and the whiplash from her sudden stop snaps her neck. In the Garfield movie, however, Spidey webs her by the stomach, which causes her body to bend in the opposite direction upon stopping... She might have been able to survive, albeit paralyzed, if she hadn't been close enough for her skull to hit the ground.
In the McGuire movie, MJ is saved because Spidey's close enough that he can actually catch her personally rather than with a web, so the force of her stop was more spread out (think airbag vs seat belt).
