Lisa Banes

Lisa Banes is the kind of actor I quietly treasure: more than eighty film and television roles plus serious Broadway credentials, including a 1981 Theatre World Award, yet rarely the headline name. As Marybeth Elliott in Gone Girl she added precisely the right unsettling texture to the story. Performers who master the supporting role, who can anchor a scene without demanding it, are the ones who actually hold films together. Her range stretched all the way to voice work. Losing her in 2021 at sixty-five was a real loss, and I hold a steady, lasting admiration for craftspeople like her.
