Later in the same year, she appeared in Young Sheldon, Let’s Scare Julie, and Run Hide Fight, which had its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 10, 2020.

She Landed The Role Of Elsa Dutton In 1883 By Failing An Audition

After obtaining the credits for Alexa & Katie and Young Sheldon, she was invited to Texas by Taylor Sheridan (creator of Yellowstone), to audition for a role in his upcoming project ‘Mayor of Kingstown.’ It did not work out for her, but she left an impression on Taylor and he offered her a role in 1883 three weeks later as Elsa Dutton. Isabel recalls her reaction to the offer on The Hollywood Reporter:

“I said, ‘Well, of course, I’ll be Elsa Dutton because you’re Taylor Sheridan and it’s my dream to work with you.”

Her role as Elsa Dutton boosted her career into A-list territory as she was able to act alongside a star-studded cast including Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Billy Bob Thornton.
