‘Yellowstone’ Actress Playing Mia Comes From Hollywood First Family
Yellowstone’s first family is the Duttons, with patriarch John Dutton (Kevin Costner) at the helm. However, Hollywood has a cornucopia of first families, and one star on the Paramount+ series is a member of that prestigious family.
Eden Brolin, who portrays Mia, comes from a multi-generational family of actors. Ready to delve into her prestigious family tree?
Yellowstone Star’s Father Is Josh Brolin
Did you know that Yellowstone’s Eden Brolin is Josh Brolin’s daughter? According to IMDb, the Dune star has two children with his first wife, former actress Alice Adair (Beverly Hills Cop, Quantum Leap).
Eden has a brother, Trevor Brolin from this marriage. In addition, they have two sisters, born in 2018, and 2020, from her father’s third marriage to actress, Kathryn Boyd Brolin.
Although Eden’s parents were divorced, they still lived with their mother on a ranch. This way, her folks could continue to co-parent.
James Brolin Is Eden’s Grandfather, Barbara Streisand Is His Wife
Yellowstone star Eden Brolin’s grandfather is the well-known Hollywood star, James Brolin. Her father, Josh Brolin, is the son of James Brolin and his second wife, Jane Cameron Agee.
Back in the 70s, James Brolin portrayed the dashing Dr. Steven Kiley on the hit series, Marcus Welby M.D., and Peter McDermott on the 80s hit show, Hotel.
Since then, a lot has changed. He has been in a cornucopia of Lifetime and Hallmark movies, as well as the series Life In Pieces. It would be pretty cool if he did a cameo on his granddaughter’s show.
But, what James Brolin may be best known as is the dashing husband of Barbara Streisand. Streisand is known as a singer but has been an award-winning actress on stage and screen, as well as a director.
According to Streisand’s IMDb, she is the “only person” to have received these awards. They include Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, Cable Ace, National Endowment For the Arts, and Peabody Awards. She has also been the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honor, American Film Institutes’ Lifetime Achievement honor, and the Film Society of Lincoln Center Chaplin Award.
It may be worth adding that Barbara’s first husband was Elliott Gould, the actor who plays Ross and Monica’s father on Friends. Streisand and Gould had one son, actor Jason Gould.
Yellowstone Star Insists She Did Not Get Role Based On Family Name
Despite having three generations of acting in her family, Yellowstone star Eden Brolin admits it took a few years before she got her role.
Speaking to Parade, she shared that it was four years and many auditions before she got a part. However, she never felt pressured to go into acting.
“So, I don’t want to say that acting was something that I felt resigned to, but I was willing to explore it and continue being in the frame of mind where I have other things that I’ve enjoyed doing.”
What else does Brolin enjoy doing? Barrel racing. Turns out, all of those years of living on a ranch made her interested in continuing to work with horses.
Now, she is one of the tough women on Yellowstone, determined to make a name for herself.
