Helen Mirren Gives 1923 Fans Chills With Her Incredible Performance – Looper

As Helen Mirren pointed out to Vanity Fair, Westerns typically have a gaping blind spot: Women are not usually shown in the greatest of lights, if they are even featured at all. But, as creator Taylor Sheridan forages ahead with the Duttons’ escapades in “1923,” it’s obvious that this is not the case here. As much as Jacob is the head of the family, Cara is undoubtedly the most influential member of it. After her husband’s brush with death, she seamlessly takes control. Cara’s strength is only amplified by Mirren’s superior acting ability, as fans noted on Twitter.

“Helen Mirren’s cries of anguish at the start of the episode.. my goodness,” @thom_ahs said. “Absolutely bone chilling. My gut twisted when she screamed out. I could feel that deep in my soul truly. She is the epitome of a never dimming star.” This moment resonated with multiple viewers, with many people taking to Twitter to praise it. “Those cries,” wrote @tiffeast. “Give Helen Mirren all the awards. Made me choke up.”

If it is even possible, it seems that “1923” could very well eclipse “Yellowstone” in terms of popularity. While the flagship series has brought fans together, the casting of Mirren and Harrison Ford is a stroke of genius. Watchers of the series have rallied around the show with monumental fervor. “Dame Helen Mirren owned the 4th episode of #1923TV,” wrote @fftcocoon. “Cara Dutton really is ‘The Boss!’ This is now my favorite show in the #YellowstoneTV universe!!”
