The hidden significance of Beth Dutton’s visible scars “It tells a story.”
The majority of Yellowstone season four was devoted to Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) strengthening her grip on her cunning brother Jamie (Wes Bentley). But she was also recuperating from the terrible assault that concluded the third season of the Paramount Network drama, and the scars that resulted have become an important aspect of her personality.
The complete significance of Beth’s face scars has been disclosed by Yellowstone makeup artist Abigail Steele.
At the end of season three, Beth’s office is targeted by an explosive package, leaving her fate unknown for more than a year’s wait before the latest outing.
Thankfully, the Dutton Ranch’s shrewd accountant made it out alive, but not without several severe burns.
However, Beth was already left scarred by another terrifying attack in season two, this time orchestrated by the Beck brothers.
Revealing more about the process, Abigail took viewers through the different iterations of the piece throughout the third and fourth seasons.
She continued: “It did change size five times, so we had five different versions of it.
“And it was just beautiful, and even into season four it wasn’t a piece she wore but a colour. And it tells a story.”
Beth is by far one of the most ruthless and stubborn characters in the series, and she rarely lets her vulnerable side show.
