The man charged with fatally striking Gone Girl actor Lisa Banes with an electric scooter last year pleaded guilty to manslaughter on Wednesday (28 September) and is expected to be sentenced to one to three years in prison.
Brian Boyd, 27, will be sentenced on 30 November in the death of Banes, who was hit by the scooter Boyd was operating as she crossed a New York City street in June 2021.
While Banes lived in Los Angeles, she was in New York for the first time since the pandemic to perform two-woman show The Niceties at the Manhattan Theatre Club.
After the accident, Banes was taken to hospital where she was treated for a traumatic brain injury. She later died from her injuries on 14 July 2021, aged 65.
She had appeared in movies including Gone Girl in 2014 and Cocktail in 1988 and on TV shows including Nashville, Madam Secretary, Masters of Sex, and NCIS.

In one of the many hilarious, provocative, and occasionally infuriating interviews that Vladimir Nabokov granted in the 1960s, he made the following pronouncement on a work of 20th century European literature that many other major intellects were/are too intimidated by to ever say a discouraging word about: "I detest Finnegans Wake in which a cancerous growth of fancy wordtissue hardly redeems the dreadful joviality of the folklore and the easy, too easy, allegory." Regardless of how one reacts to that assessment—and my own reaction is of course constrained/defined by the fact of my having only read select portions of Wake, but having enough knowledge of the work to understand that that which Nabokov speaks about is, in some form, there (that is, the word-growth, the folklore, and the allegory)—one can trust something about it, that is, one can trust that Nabokov actually went to the trouble of reading the damn thing.
