As a seasoned actress with a knack for portraying complex and formidable characters, I find Dawn’s journey both captivating and inspiring. Her ability to breathe life into characters that often challenge the audience and push the boundaries of conventional storytelling is nothing short of remarkable.

Dawn Olivieri left a strong impact portraying the cunning love interest, Sarah Atwood, opposite Jamie Dutton, in Yellowstone.

The forty-three-year-old individual, driven by intense sexual desires, orchestrated the murder of John Dutton, portrayed by Kevin Costner. This action resulted in her meeting a fatal end, as she was gunned down in her vehicle by an assassin.

It’s possible that her face seems recognizable because she’s been featured in two other series produced by Taylor Sheridan, the creator of Yellowstone.

And in one of them she remarkably plays an ancestor of John Dutton.  

Apart from Yellowstone, she also played the role of Claire Dutton in the prequel titled 1883. This series featured Tim McGraw and Faith Hill too.

Recently, U.S. Army Sergeant Major Amber Whalen has been featured on the CIA black ops series “Lioness,” alongside actresses Nicole Kidman and Zoe Saldana.

Fans have taken to X this month to express their shock over Dawn’s acting range.

‘Dude, that hot lady on Yellowstone was the drab old woman on 1883? Get out,’ wrote one fan.

A fan then shared: ‘After making her look like dog meat for 1883, they owed her. Was happy to see her as a femme fatale in Yellowstone. Sad she is gone.’ 

Another said: ‘They un-glammed her for Lioness, amazing, I barely recognized her. From Yellowstone to Lioness in one week is awesome.’

Olivieri, who previously appeared on shows like Heroes and House of Lies, understands why she landed the role of Market Equities fixer in Yellowstone – she revealed this to The Hollywood Reporter last month.

And she was not shocked by her cruel murder when she read the script.

She expressed that it was something she had expected all along. Reading about it felt like a familiar anticipation. With its arrival, we’ve received what we’d all been hoping for. It seems as though everyone is content now that the train station has finally opened.

The ‘train station’ is where bad people get killed.r.

Olivieri has called her Yellowstone character a serpent who never shows her colors. 

She mentioned that she often plays a character who is frequently disliked, yet essential for the story’s progression as they help the protagonist to triumph. This dynamic can be likened to a symbiotic relationship between the villain and the hero.

Exploring death through the lens of an actor offers a unique, immersive experience. I strive to delve as deeply and authentically as possible into each death scene, which has led me to ‘die’ numerous times throughout my career (a chuckle escapes). Essentially, this profession allows me to embody the saying, ‘experience death before you actually do,’ in a profound way.

And she is close to the Yellowstone creator. 

As a dedicated follower, I find Taylor exceptional because when I encounter loss, I view it as a transition rather than an ending. Remarkably, Taylor swiftly guided me towards another captivating narrative, making it a delight to read and exclaim, “I’m engaged in something new now!

She is talking about her role on Lioness. 

“He relocated me to that place. They chose not to disclose it ahead of time as it would have ruined the surprise and given away information to everyone.

She was seen opposite Saldana in a December 1 episode.

Concerning Sheridan’s apparent demise in 1883 and the Yellowstone series, Dawn expresses her feelings as follows: “It’s absolutely chaotic. There’s something wildly captivating about him being a madman!

She added: ‘He’s still doing whatever the f*** he wants!’

Dawn also talked about how her characters are so different. 

As a devoted admirer, let me put it this way: Each interaction with him is unique. Often, he likens me to a Swiss Army knife, a versatile tool. He’ll send me a message saying, “Hey, Swiss Army knife, I need your assistance.” To which I always reply, “At your service!

My final message to him simply said, “Just let me know what and where, and I’ll be there.” That was the extent of my reply. One performance, one day, just another character in the story.

Prior to her untimely demise within the confines of Yellowstone, it appeared as though I harbored some affectionate sentiments towards Jamie Dutton, portrayed by the talented actor Wes Bentley.

Dawn expressed, “It’s quite interesting; the decision was mine to make. In retrospect, I could have handled that situation differently. Instead of being aloof and calm, I could have been more assertive and required her to maintain control.

“In common usage, the term ‘villain’ refers to the evil antagonist faced by the protagonist in a story. However, I personally view it differently.

A ‘villain’ is someone who exhibits an intense determination and ambition, often stemming from past experiences that may have left emotional scars. This drive for power and success can sometimes cross into obsession, leading to actions considered villainous by society’s standards. The understanding and exploitation of power can also contribute to this label.

“People fear your understanding of power structures, and when you skillfully leverage this knowledge, you become an intimidating figure. Characters in Taylor’s writing share this trait, particularly the women.

In this manner, I pour all that I am into my interactions. I always keep in mind the balance of power and the social structure among individuals.

“I found myself drawn to a horse rescue [in real life], perhaps because horses naturally possess strong spatial awareness. They follow complex social dynamics that heavily depend on the hierarchy of power, determined by strength and influence. Horses often exhibit tranquil demeanors, yet they hold the most authority in their herds.

In nature, there exists an entire system of communication, open to any person who chooses to adopt it. When you mirror this natural approach, you gain control, not just over yourself, but also in your interactions with others. This perspective, trust, and self-confidence are crucial factors. Therefore, a ‘villain’ in this context refers to someone exceptionally powerful as a human being, which often makes others uncomfortable or intimidated.

And she described how she carefully adds to a character. 

It holds little appeal to witness a person who possesses unrivaled power and excels in every aspect succumbing to death. Your reaction would likely be more along the lines of, “Well, that’s too bad,” rather than expressing genuine concern or emotion for that individual. In essence, their demise does not stir any strong feelings within you.

As a devoted creator, my intention with every character I craft is to push them to their limits, making them perform bold, ruthless actions with immense passion. Yet, it’s not about their destruction, but rather, I yearn to witness their undoing – that raw, vulnerable moment before they crumble apart. It’s a glimpse of mortality I strive to portray, even for the characters born from my imagination, because I care deeply for them. They are no less human than we are, and capturing that essence is what fuels me.

She also talked playing Claire in 1883.

In that final instant before she breathed her last, I got a glimpse of her – my beloved gruff pioneer. It was then that her true essence was revealed to me,” expressed me, her devoted admirer.

It’s somewhat intimidating, but it seems that many individuals might be experiencing a similar life path as well.

‘They might be those parents who struggled to express love in a healthy way, possibly due to past traumas or addictions. Yet, at a crucial moment, an almost ethereal sense of innocence seems to envelop them, making them appear more like children than adults. In this transformed state, they can open up more deeply than ever before, sharing their feelings with a parent or loved one.’

She commented: “I find that particular moment consistently intriguing, and as Taylor puts it, that moment. He describes the kind of characters involved in it, and I find it incredibly insightful.

Dawn loved that she could give evil Sarah some dimension.

Reaching that special moment with Sarah had been my main objective. Sarah seemed to be manipulating Jamie, but at the same time, she found herself falling for him,” she explained.

Was she ultimately smitten by him, and how on earth will Jamie manage what lies ahead without her support?

‘The truth is that a lot of people, as they live their life, end up having skewed perspectives. To touch someone who has been molested is almost like a pain, right? Can you imagine? So sometimes you get these interesting psyches where to open up is painful, or not safe, or trauma.

To experience a character possibly crumbling under the weight of a significant moment, it propels them [Sarah and Jamie] towards a balance of authenticity. This is because at our core, we all yearn for connection. We all seek tender moments when we’re secure and content, and when we’ve been treated kindly. However, Sarah is not in such a state. She’s not content. So to her, power symbolizes love, and the interaction is what she perceives as loving: ‘You care about me if you overpower me, or if you listen attentively to everything I say.’

The Florida native expressed that it seemed she expressed love in a unique way, and it appeared Jamie reciprocated this. What was striking was that they both seemed to understand and speak this unspoken language, which created their bond.

As a lifestyle consultant, I’d say: “Imagine a dynamic duo, a formidable pair whose combined strength could have been overwhelming. Working against them would have been quite the challenge! She was his perfect complement, filling the gaps he couldn’t. He was indecisive and lacked self-drive. Yet, she stepped in, offering guidance, instilling the confidence needed for leadership. That, my friends, is a power couple – one where each individual’s strengths complement each other seamlessly.

Then, Dawn remarked: “I usually take on characters who don’t lose often. I consider myself the one who seals the deal. If you bring me into a situation, I’ll succeed at whatever task you give me; I’ll ruin something – the game is up! (Laughs.) It’s truly impressive. But if you don’t write it that way, you’re not leveraging my unique abilities. Taylor understands this now, and I’m fairly certain he’ll write it like that because I can pull it off. Rarely do I find myself not the most powerful character in a room, even among men.

In many roles I take on, I become a formidable adversary. Whether it’s Don Cheadle in House of Lies or any other actor I work with, I’m cast because I can make them work hard for their performance. If I’m given a character, it’s only fair that I give something back first, so she can then outshine me.
