‘Dutton Ranch’ star loves driving vintage Bronco, ‘hitting men’ on ‘Yellowstone’ spinoff

There’s a new cowgirl in town. 

Natalie Alyn Lind stars as Oreana Jackson on “Dutton Ranch” — and gave Page Six the lowdown on making the “Yellowstone” spinoff.

The actress, 26, exclusively told us how much she loves “driving a vintage Bronco” filming the show.

“And,” she quipped, “hitting men.”

Her cheeky comment referenced the series’ May 15 premiere, during which Carter, played by Finn Little, went to a rodeo and found Oreana fighting with her boyfriend.

Dubbing Oreana a “very powerful” character, Lind gushed that she “attack[s] every scene that she goes into.” 

The “Big Sky” alum added, “Anything that she does, I had fun doing.” 

On the show, Carter runs into Oreana after just after moving to Texas with his adopted parents, Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser). 

“Dutton Ranch” follows the characters after Beth’s father, John Dutton (Kevin Costner), died in “Yellowstone.”

For Carter, the family’s relocation means finishing high school at 19 — and getting taken away by the local sheriff when he defends Oreana from her partner.

Once Lind’s character springs Carter out, she convinces him to cut class and get a drink with her, telling him he’s “kind of handsome” and “a mystery.” 

The second episode of “Dutton Ranch,” however, reveals Oreana to be the granddaughter of Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening), Rip and Beth’s neighbor — and likely new enemy.

Beth, notably, refers to the tough Texas matriarch a “grizzly in Gucci,” and the two women butt heads. 

Lind told Page Six that working with Bening, 67, has been an “absolutely incredible” experience.

She called the Oscar winner “one of [her] favorite people ever,” gushing, “Being able to be in scenes with her and see the way that she crafts her character is so exceptional. I feel very blessed.” 

Series executive producer and director Christina Alexandra Voros previously told Page Six Beth may be more “dangerous” on the new show than in “Yellowstone.”

The producer noted that Beth and Rip “have fought so hard to try to finally have peace — and no matter how badly they want it, war keeps coming to their doorstep.”

New episodes of “Dutton Ranch” premiere on Paramount+ and Paramount Network on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.
