'1923’s' Julia Schlaepfer Had An Iconic Reaction When We Said Alex Reminds Us Of Kelly Reilly’s Beth From 'Yellowstone'

Cinema Blend

When I started watching "1923," I was constantly wondering if the ensemble based some of their performances on the "Yellowstone" cast considering many of their characters are related. Notably, I’ve always thought Alex had a lot of Beth Dutton in her. So, I decided to ask the actress who plays the woman who just married into the Dutton family, Julia Schlaepfer, about this comparison, and she had an iconic response.  So, here’s the situation. We don’t actually know if Alex is related to Beth, because we don’t know if she and Spencer continue the Dutton legacy. However, there’s no doubt that the two characters are comparable. They’re both fiery, they’re both headstrong, they're both fiercely independent, and they’re both beloved by fans. Therefore, when I told this to Schlaepfer during our chat about Season 2 ahead of its premiere on the 2025 TV schedule, she answered candidly.
