The Landman hot girl played by Michelle Randolph is on another Taylor Sheridan series.
The 27-year-old from Napa Valley, California is reprising her role as Elizabeth Strafford on the second season of the Yellowstone spinoff 1923.
The actress’ costars are Harrison Ford, Brandon Skelnar and Helen Mirren. Season two of 1923 kicks off on Sunday, February 23 on Paramount+.
On Wednesday the blonde pinup was seen mingling with her costars at the season two premiere in Los Angeles.
The head-turning beauty wore a strapless gray dress with a print of a horse on front as she had her long hair down over her bare shoulders.
Landman fans can’t believe that Michelle is also on 1923.
That is because her characters on the two shows are wildly different: on 1923 she plays a prim and shy prairie girl while on Landman her character is a sexually aggressive teen looking for trouble.
‘No way those two girls are played by the same actress,’ said one fan on X. ‘These characters are just too different. I am shook.’
Another shared: ‘Crazy bikini girl on Landman is that country chick on 1923? Melting!’
Michelle stars on Landman as Billy Bob Thornton and Ali Larter’s sexually extroverted daughter Ainsley Norris.
The show is from Yellowstone creator Sheridan and it is set in the Permian Basin oil boom in west Texas. Other costars are Demi Moore and Jon Hamm.
Randolph has also appeared in House Of The Witch, The Resort and A Snow White Christmas.
The star has said playing the uninhibited Ainsley was ‘refreshing.’
‘I learned so much playing Ainsley,’ she said via LRM Online.
‘She’s this wild seventeen-year-old and to step into that, it helped me just like embrace myself more and I found it really refreshing.’
Michelle described her character as a ‘very interesting medium between the two parents’ and as she discovers her parents are ‘flawed people.’
‘Ainsley, I think, is kind of this very interesting medium between the two parents, and she loves them both deeply,’ said Michelle.
‘But she’s kind of on the cusp of realizing that they have flaws as humans.
‘It’s fun to see her throughout this season go on this journey of learning how her parents are flawed people as well.’
Landman centers around Tommy Norris (Thornton) – a rugged executive from M-Tex Oil company in Texas.
The series premiere starts with a tied-up Tommy wearing a bag over his head while discussing a lease with a cartel member.
He survives the intense exchange and continues to work under businessman Monty Miller (Hamm) while balancing relationships with his ex-wife Angela (Larter) and his children Ainsley (Randolph) and oil field worker Cooper (Jacob Lofland).
The series premiere takes a dark turn after Cooper’s entire oil rig team dies in an explosion.
Michelle’s Ainsley is as wild as she can get.
The teenager brings her football star boyfriend to meet daddy in west Texas.
She doesn’t mind telling her dad they have already had sex everywhere adding how he keeps her from getting pregnant – it is crude and Tommy winces.
Billy’s Tommy hates the guy. And as predicted by pops, the athlete is a real douche bag.
Ainsley finds out and dumps him, then spends her afternoons sunbathing in her bikini by dad’s swimming pool, which is hard for Tommy’s roommates to deal with.
Landman focuses on the huge oil boom in Texas and how some of the biggest moguls in the trade will go to any means necessary to maintain their vast wealth.
The series is co-created by the man behind the Yellowstone universe, Sheridan and podcaster Christian Wallace.
Landman, like Yellowstone, is set in the present day and is inspired by the popular podcast Boomtown, which chronicled a 21st century oil boom in western Texas.
The series logline describes it as ‘an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.’
