Kim Dickens is mourning the loss of her friend and Gone Girl co-star Lisa Banes, who died on Monday at the age of 65 after suffering injuries from a hit-and-run accident earlier this month in New York City. Banes played Marybeth Elliott, the co-author of “The Amazing Amy” book series and the mother of Rosamund Pike’s character Amy Dunne, in the 2014 feature film adaptation of author Gillian Flynn’s 2012 novel of the same name. The David Fincher-directed thriller also starred Dickens as Detective Rhonda Boney, the lead investigator on the case of Amy’s disappearance.

My heart is so sad at the passing of Lisa Banes. I had the fortune to work with Lisa on GONE GIRL, and she was vibrant, keen, and wildly charming. Basically she would have intimidated the hell out of me if she hadn’t been so truly kind. Love to her wife, family and many friends. pic.twitter.com/pYxu4mg42S
