Kelly Reilly opens up on playing Beth in 'Yellowstone'

Kelly Reilly, known for her portrayal of Beth Dutton in the popular show Yellowstone, recently shared her thoughts on the character and her career. 

The 45-year-old actress confessed that she wouldn't typically choose to play similar characters to Beth Dutton, and since taking on the role, she has been offered numerous scripts for comparable roles.

In her interview with Looper, the actress shared, “Obviously I play Beth Dutton and people like it. So I’m inundated with very feisty, strong, violent type women. But I don’t want to play that again."

Discussing the challenges she faces while filming Yellowstone, she recalled a scene where she had to shoot with real wolves.

“The crew said, don’t worry. We’ve got these invisible pieces of cord so if they do run at you, that will trip them.”

The Sherlock Holmes star said that even though she was scared, she knew it would be good for the series and went along with it. She also added that her confidence grew with each season she shot.

Reilly strongly values her privacy when it comes to her family life and resides in the countryside to avoid public scrutiny. Despite this, the actress takes great pride in her work on the television series Yellowstone.

She said, “It’s a powerful thing to be part of Yellowstone. People have adopted it as their show. I’m really proud of it.”

Kelly Reilly has also appeared in several noteworthy productions, such as Pride & Prejudice, Eden Lake, and Flight.
