Isabel May Opens Up About Elsa Dutton’s Heartbreaking Death in '1883' That Made Tim McGraw Cry
2025/03/13 Report

Alright, Yellowstone junkies, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit the moment that had us all reaching for the Kleenex: Elsa Dutton's heartbreaking death in 1883. But hold on a sec, because Isabel May, the actress who brought Elsa to life, has a surprisingly optimistic take on her character's tragic fate.

Isabel May: Elsa Lived, Loved, and Left a Legacy

While Tim McGraw (James Dutton himself!) confessed to bawling his eyes out when Elsa met her end via a poisoned arrow, May sees things a bit differently. In her eyes, Elsa's short life was packed with so much love and adventure that her death, while undeniably sad, doesn't overshadow the beauty of her journey.

"So I think it’s a really beautiful trajectory," May told Newsweek back in 2022. "She gets to fall in love twice. Madly and deeply in love before she goes.

That’s all you can ask for, for a character that you love.”

And she's not wrong! Elsa didn't just exist; she lived. She experienced the dizzying heights of first love with the sweet cowboy Ennis, a bond that ended tragically when he was killed. But even in the face of that heartbreak, she found love again with the Comanche warrior Sam, a man who saved her life more than once.

Sure, neither relationship had a fairytale ending, but Elsa dared to love fiercely, even knowing the risks.
