Minor spoilers for the first two episodes of Dutton Ranch are ahead!

Once Beth and Rip met the Jackson family in Dutton Ranch, CinemaBlend quickly realized that they were very easy to compare to the Dutton family. Led by Annette Bening’s Beulah Jackson, this powerful family of ranchers seems to be the antagonists of this series. However, they also couldn’t help but see the parallels between the Jackson matriarch and the patriarch of Yellowstone, John Dutton. Although after chatting with Annette Bening and Natalie Alyn Lind about this new family, they realized there’s another character we need to compare Beulah to.
Transcript
00:00The parallels between Beulah and John Dutton, I was wondering if that's a fair comparison to make
00:04and why or why not that might be. Yeah, I think it is a fair comparison, although for Beulah,
00:09of course, from her point of view, is that she's just trying to keep everything from falling apart.
00:16Her ranch is really on borrowed time, her son's very ill, and she's trying to keep it all together
00:25and trying to maintain this legacy that her father passed on to her. And she has a lot of
00:30complicated feelings about that and still is trying to please her father. And so when you can
00:38kind of tap into those kinds of deep things like Beth has done and Kelly was able to do in
00:44her
00:44amazing acting, that's kind of where my inspiration is really in things falling apart. And that's a
00:51great character. When you know that the character is desperately, it's like having a hole inside of
00:57you that she's trying to fill and that's good writing. And so I did my best to try to dramatize
01:02all of that. I mean, here's the thing that if she was a male character, he'd be powerful,
01:06but because she's female, she is scary. But I don't, I mean, the thing is, is that she knows
01:12her worth. She knows her power. She is the boss around there and people respect her. And I think that
01:21it's one of those things with, with female bosses specifically where the male perspective and the
01:25female perspective, the moment where you are a female, then all of a sudden you're seen as harsh,
01:30but when you're a male, you're powerful. And I think it's really interesting to see her in this
01:34position. And Kelly, Beth has done such a great job of that balance between being powerful, but not,
01:42not harsh. And that's what Annette does so well. You can, you can just, it's literally just the eye
01:49contact. It's, it's the intense deepness there. And I think it's something that anybody that is
01:57intense in this, the same way with Beth and Rip, which I think one of the reasons that people love
02:01their character so much is they are these strong, independent, independent individuals.
02:05And then the moment that they're together, they're able to release and feel love and emotion and be
02:13just vulnerable. And you're going to see that with Annette's character as well. You're going to see
02:17it with my character as well. It's one of my favorite parts of this entire universe. It's the
02:20realism that comes behind creating stories that are based on real emotion and relationships.
