Yellowstone's Beth Looked Way Different When She Was Younger

Yellowstone has been a breakout hit for the Paramount Network. Aside from its appealingly dramatic portrait of Montana land-use conflicts, the cable series succeeds largely on the basis of its fascinating characters.

The world of Yellowstone is populated by a truly outstanding ensemble of complicated, damaged people first among them, prodigal daughter Bethany Dutton, played by actress Kelly Reilly.

When we're introduced to Reilly's Beth on the series' very first episode, she's busy ruthlessly dismantling a publicly traded petroleum company and bullying the CEO into thanking her for the privilege.

It isn't long afterwards that family patriarch John Dutton summons her back home to Montana so she can apply her particular set of skills to the personal and professional destruction of local real estate rival, Dan Jenkins.

Beth's arrival has an immediate impact on the state of play. The power suit-clad vulture capitalist presents a mean contrast with the rugged ranchers, wranglers and grooms who mill around her father's dynastic Yellowstone Ranch, but her big city life back in Salt Lake doesn't appear to have sanded off any of her rougher edges. As it turns out, you can take the ranch girl out of the ranch, but you can't take the ranch out of the ranch girl.

Beth Dutton feels like the kind of scene-stealing role that Reilly was born to play. She's a hard-drinking, aggressive land heiress with a chip on her shoulder the size of Glacier Park. Reilly's become such a fan favorite in the part that it's easy to forget she's been in the business for decades — and she used to look a lot different.

Long before Kelly Reilly was breaking hearts across Montana as Bethany Dutton, she played the far more genteel role of Clowance Poldark in the 1996 made-for-TV movie Poldark. No sane person would argue that Reilly hasn't aged well — she's still a knockout at 42 cast as the 38-year-old Beth — but Beth Dutton's bleached and straightened look is a definite change from the wavy red locks she was rocking in Poldark. Keep watching the video to see that Yellowstone's Beth looked way different when she was younger!
