Watching "Yellowstone" actress Kelly Reilly in interviews, it can be hard to imagine how a soft-spoken woman with a proper English accent could so perfectly embody a character like Beth Dutton.
Beth Dutton swigs hard liquor from sun up till sun down, breaks in newcomers to the Dutton Ranch by challenging them to fistfights in the front yard, and has scars on her face and burns on her back from being put through hell over five seasons of Taylor Sheridan's wildly popular Western series. Reilly attended Tolworth Girls' School in Kingston for Christ's sake. She doesn't even like cigarettes, insisting on herbal substitutes for her character's chainsmoking scenes. But watching Reilly in interviews, if you look closely, you can see that inner strength she pulls from to switch into Beth-mode. It's there, just behind the eyes.
