Taylor Sheridan ‘constructed’ My ‘1923’ Role Around Me, Says Helen Mirren
Westward! Helen Mirren’s role in 1923 is more like her than people might think. “[Creator] Taylor Sheridan likes to write for the actor and the personality of the actor who is going to play the role,” the Oscar winner, 77, told Us Weekly exclusively before the Yellowstone spinoff’s Sunday, December 18 premiere.
Cara is built around me, just like Jacob was. The actress who plays Queen thinks that her role shows her “stoicism,” “humour,” “professionalism,” and love. “But love is tough,” Mirren said. “No sentimental love.”
The actress in Woman in Gold gave Irish Cara hope. “She’s a Christian, a Catholic, and I think she’s kept her faith with her,” the winner of the Tony Award told Us. “She doesn’t talk about it, so it doesn’t matter.
I wanted a small crucifix to be part of the set, but I told them it had to be very small. Even if you don’t notice, it shows how much faith Cara has. So, she is a religious woman who is also practical, down-to-earth, and realistic.
Mirren said that Cara would have a hard time fitting in at the ranch, even though she looks like the Prime Suspect star. I’d never be a pioneer. She said, “I’m too at ease.” “At night, my electric blanket.”

In 1923, the actress from “The Fate of the Furious” stars in a movie with Ford, who is 80 at the time, about the Dutton family. The actor from “Star Wars” plays Jacob’s uncle, John Dutton Sr. (James Badge Dale), who is also the grandfather of John Dutton from “Yellowstone” (Kevin Costner). Cara, Jacob’s wife, is played by Mirren.
Ranch foreman Zane, Brian Geraghty, told Us that Ford and Mirren kept things light during the show’s darker scenes. The 47-year-old star of the TV show Boardwalk Empire said that Harrison and Helen make that kind of atmosphere.
“It always starts with the leaders, and luckily they’re both great.” Sheridan, who is 52 years old, put together a “amazing” cast and crew, says Darren Mann, Jacob and Cara’s great-nephew.
The 33-year-old Canadian said, “He must be very careful when he hires people, because everyone always got along so well on set.” “Nobody panicked. Everyone got along, so it was a great place to work.”
