How did Kelly Reilly become famous?
While many people are only just now becoming aware of Kelly Reilly with her leading role in Yellowstone, she has been steadily working as an actress since the mid-’90s. Her first role was in the Helen Mirren-starring crossover hit Prime Suspect, in which she appeared in the fourth season in 1995.
From there, Reilly found great success in theater productions, including Elton John’s Glasses in 1997, The London Cuckolds in 1998, The Graduate in 2000 and Piano/Forte in 2006. She scored a major theatrical boon when she was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Theatre Award for Best Actress of 2003 for her performance in After Miss Julie at the Donmar Warehouse at age 26—making her the youngest actress to be nominated for the award.
She continued to work in film and TV, appearing opposite Helen Mirren again in 2001’s Last Orders. By 2005, her profile was rising as she found roles in major movies like Mrs. Henderson Presents alongside Judi Dench and Pride & Prejudice alongside Kiera Knightley. That same year, she won the Best Newcomer Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role as Wendy in The Russian Dolls (Les Poupées Russes).
She landed her first leading role in 2008’s Eden Lake, a horror film. However, it was 2009 that would truly be a breakthrough year for the actress with roles in the British primetime series Above Suspicion as well as in three major movies: Sherlock Holmes (playing the love interest of Jude Law’s character), Triage and Me and Orson Welles. In 2011, she appeared in the sequel to 2009’s Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The following year, she appeared as Denzel Washington’s love interest in Flight, even though the actor was 58 and she was 35 at the time. In 2015, she appeared in HBO’s True Detective Season 2.
Though Kelly Reilly has clearly had a very long and successful acting career, some could argue that it was not until she landed her acclaimed role as Beth Dutton on Yellowstone in 2018 that she really achieved worldwide fame and name recognition. However you see it, Reilly’s impressive resume definitely gave her a leg up when it came to landing the leading role on the series.
