Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly looks almost unrecognizable in unearthed photos

Kelly Reilly keeps Yellowstone viewers gripped with her portrayal of Beth Dutton, but despite playing a truly menacing character, there's a lot that fans don't know about the star – including where she's originally from, or that she underwent a total appearance transformation.

The 45-year-old actress has been appearing in films and on television since the late nineties, taking on the role of Beth in Yellowstone 2018. Given that she's been a star of the screen for over 20 years, it makes sense that there are a few throwback photos of the star floating around on the interview – and the actress looks almost unrecognizable in a snap taken in 1999.

On Yellowstone, Kelly is known for her blonde hair, but the photo from the nineties shows her with deep auburn hair, a color which she sported for a few years after the photo was taken.
