'Gone Girl' Actor Lisa Banes Dies After UWS Scooter Hit-And-Run

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — "Gone Girl" actor Lisa Banes, 65, died 10 days after getting hit by a scooter while crossing a street on the Upper West Side, police announced Tuesday morning.

Banes was struck by a scooter on June 4 at 6:33 p.m. at the intersection of West 64th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. She died Monday at Mount Sinai Morningside Hospital, police said.

An investigation by the NYPD Highway District's Collision Investigation Squad found that Banes was attempting to cross Amsterdam Avenue, from west to east inside the north crosswalk at West 64th Street, when a scooter traveling north ran a red light and struck her, according to police.

The scooter fled the scene and there have been no arrests.

Banes appeared in numerous television shows and movies, including “Gone Girl” in 2014 and “Cocktail” with Tom Cruise in 1988. On television, she had roles on “Nashville,” “Madam Secretary,” “Masters of Sex” and “NCIS.”

She acted on stage regularly, including Broadway appearances in the Neil Simon play “Rumors” in 1988, in the musical “High Society" in 1998 and in the Noel Coward play “Present Laughter” in 2010.

Actor Seth McFarlane said he was deeply saddened at the death of Banes, whom he worked with on his TV series “The Orville." “Her stage presence, magnetism, skill and talent were matched only by her unwavering kindness and graciousness toward all of us," McFarlane tweeted.
