What the Cast of 1883 Look Like in Real Life
These cowboys clean up good.
Life may be rich for the Duttons on Yellowstone, but things were a little rougher for their ancestors before they settled in Montana. That’s the story that the new Yellowstone prequel show 1883 sets out to tell, following the Duttons of the p ast on their journey to found their iconic ranch. But just because they live on the dusty trail, it doesn’t mean that the real life actors who play the Dutton progenitors don’t know how to get glammed up for the red carpet. Here, a look at what all of the stars of 1883 really look like out of the period dress.
Isabel May as Elsa Dutton
Known for her work on Alexa and Katie and Young Sheldon, May plays the eldest Dutton child, the spirited teen Elsa.
Tim McGraw as James Dutton
The Dutton family patriarch James, might not live quite as glamorous a life as the Grammy-winning country star who plays him, but they do have one thing in common—their wives. McGraw is the real life husband on his onscreen leading lady, Faith Hill.
Faith Hill as Margaret Dutton
Hill and her husband, McGraw, might be better known for their chart-topping country hits, but both have appeared in films before. However their turns as Margaret and James Dutton marks the first time they’ve ever appeared onscreen together.
Audie Rick as John Dutton Sr.
The youngest of the 1883 Duttons (and the future father of Yellowstone’s John) is just as adorable as his real life counterpart.
Sam Elliott as Shea Brennan
A legend of the western genre, this iconic actor’s latest cowboy turn as the uncompromising wagon train leader is a natural fit.
