Banes, whose credits also included the film Gone Girl, TV series Royal Pains and One Life To Live, as well as numerous Broadway productions, was walking near Lincoln Center’s Julliard School, her alma mater, when she was struck in the crosswalk by the scooter. She died 10 days later from the traumatic brain injury.
According to police, Boyd was arrested after patrol cops recognized him from a wanted poster.
Banes, visiting New York from Los Angeles for a role in the Manhattan Theater Club’s streaming production of The Niceties, was on her way to meet her wife, journalist Kathryn Kranhold, for a dinner party near Julliard. Police have said she was struck after the scooter blew through a red light.
