‘Yellowstone’ TV: Get to Know Willa Hayes Actress Karen Pittman

Where have you seen “Yellowstone” actress Karen Pittman before?

“Yellowstone” fans all know actress Karen Pittman for her role as Willa Hayes on the show. Hayes is the cutthroat CEO of Market Equities. Early on in the show, Hayes’ firm expressed an interest in the Dutton’s land. Hayes traveled to Bozeman after learning that Beth smashed her shareholders’ stocks. At the end of this last season, Hayes used her leverage on Schwartz & Meyer to have Beth fired from her job. In conclusion, Willa Hayes is another cog in the “Yellowstone” drama wheel.

But actress Karen Pittman has been around Hollywood for much longer than just the “Yellowstone” series. Here’s everything you need to know about the “Yellowstone” actress.

What’s in Store for Willa Hayes on ‘Yellowstone?’

As all you “Yellowstone” fans know, last season left us with some pretty intense cliffhangers. A bomb exploded in Beth’s office while she was getting ready to clean out her desk for good. No one knows who planted the bomb. No one knows who survived or who passed. All we know is that, if Willa Hayes was involved with the incident in any way, she’s going to have an entire ranch of dedicated (and angry) ranch hands to face. You’ll just have to watch “Yellowstone” Season Four to find out.
