Who is 1923 actress Julia Schlaepfer, and did she just drop a major spoiler about the Yellowstone spin-off? She returns as Alexandra in season 2, but says time with Brandon Sklenar on set was limited | South China Morning Post
The highly anticipated second season of Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 premiered this weekend on Paramount+.
The show, a prequel to the critically acclaimed Yellowstone, sees actors Harrison Ford, Hellen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar and Michelle Randolph returning to reprise their roles, and actress Julia Schlaepfer might have just teased a major spoiler for fans.
Schlaepfer plays Alexandra, a wealthy British woman who gives up her luxurious lifestyle to run away with Spencer Dutton, played by Sklenar, in season one. Unfortunately, the fan-favourite couple was separated and season two might not see them reunited.
“We [Schlaepfer and Sklenar] did not see each other a lot ... season one we spent all our time together, this season we barely spent any time together. It was very much like, suddenly we were ripped apart. But that’s what the characters are going through,” Schlaepfer let slip in a recent interview with Brit+Co.
As fans patiently wait for 1923 to unfold, here’s everything we know about actress Julia Schlaepfer.
While Julia Schlaepfer may very convincingly play a British aristocrat in 1923, the 29-year-old actress is in fact born and bred in the US.
Other than 1923, the actress also starred in The Sky is Everywhere alongside Jason Segel and Havana Rose Liu, but is perhaps best known for her role in Netflix comedy-drama The Politician alongside Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Platt.
