  4. From Lawyer to Rising Hollywood Star

    From Lawyer to Rising Hollywood Star

    What happens when a law school mock trial reveals you’re living the wrong story? For actress Marie Wetherell, that single moment of clarity changed everything. Instead of arguing cases, she realized she wanted to become the powerful female characters she admired on screen—and she’s already proving she belongs there. She became a lawyer but went for the silver screen. Marie’s breakout role came in Taylor Sheridan’s hit series 1923—the prequel to Yellowstone—where she portrayed the unforgettable Tarred and Feathered Woman. Now her career is accelerating with Croatoan, a psychological thriller inspired by the real-life mystery of the lost Roanoke colony. In the film, Marie plays Mary, the ex-wife of Dean Richardson, portrayed and directed by Britt Bankhead. Marie also landed the lead in a post-apocalyptic thriller called Run that is coming out in 2026. Her passion for performance didn’t appear overnight. As a young woman inspired by Nicole Kidman’s performance in The Interpreter and Jessica Chastain’s fierce role in Zero Dark Thirty, Marie followed parallel paths—Model U.N., law school, and even lobbying at the Idaho Statehouse. With a prominent political family behind her, a legal career seemed like destiny… but the screen is where she finally discovered her voice. In this inspiring Women Road Warriors interview with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro, Marie shares why acting is both a deeply personal journey and a team sport, how every audition becomes an opportunity for growth, and what it truly takes to reinvent your life’s direction. Her story is a reminder that clarity can strike in an instant—and when it does, it’s never too late to pivot toward your passion. https://mariewetherell.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmn1D6um60Y womenroadwarriors.com www.womenspowernetwork.net #WomenRoadWarriors #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #MarieWetherell #Hollywood #Actress #WomenInFilm #ActingJourney #1923Series #TaylorSheridan #FemaleEmpowerment #WomenInMedia #ActorsLife #FilmIndustry #FromLawToHollywood #CroatoanFilm #StrongFemaleLeads
