But if you checked out on of 'True Detective' after the first season - and we know many of you did - it's probable you know Reilly from her work as Mary to Jude Law's Watson in the first two installments of the 'Sherlock Holmes' franchise or as the venom-spewing Caroline Bingley in Joe Wright's pitch-perfect 2006 adaptation of 'Pride & Prejudice.'Īs it turns out, that description suits him quite well, and it suits his murderous 'Yellowstone' alter ego equally well.
If you're having trouble figuring out exactly where you've seen Reilly's face before, fans of HBO's detective drama 'True Detective' will almost certainly recognize her from her Season 2 turn as the Lady Macbeth-like wife of Vince Vaughn's fading tough-guy crime lord. And yes, Reilly's work as the fiery Beth Dutton is the very definition of commanding, with the actor bringing serious weight to a fascinatingly duplicitous character who would feel equally at home in a Shakespearean tragedy as she does among the Big Sky melodrama of 'Yellowstone.' With any luck, Reilly's razor-sharp work as the lone female Dutton sibling will help her get the attention of a few more producers who recognize a commanding screen presence when they see it.
