Includes SPOILERS for 1923 and 1883’s finales.
Julia Schlaepfer played Alexandra in 1923’s cast, and while being in an ensemble with Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and Timothy Dalton, she managed to stand out with an outstanding performance.
She and Brandon Sklenar had incredible chemistry in the show, and Alex was a major component of some of the show’s most unforgettable and emotional scenes. She may not be a Dutton by blood, but Taylor Sheridan seemed to be illustrating that her strong personality made her a member of the family all the same.
