Lilli Kay has earned it.It wasnt enough that she was a massive fan ofYellowstone.

Lilli, for the longest time, couldnt even get to visit the set.

Clara Brewer (Lilli Kay) in Yellowstone season 5

I didnt [visit] and that was a huge bummer, because it just never worked out.

And I was so frustrated because thats the world I love.

However, her work in this most recent season has proven that she deserves to be there.

I was really invested in gaining tools, and taking acting seriously, she says.

But I think that I had such a massive privilege of growing up on sets.

Not only watching incredible actors working, but also watching how that environment functioned, which was useful.

So I definitely dont take that for granted.

Everybodys so invested in having these really nuanced and powerful women on this show.

Thats a huge part of the identity of the show.

That strength and that adaptability is something that I think women dont get to do very often on television.

Ive enjoyed seeing people have reactions that I didnt expect.
