If you’ve been binging Paramount Network’s Yellowstone recently, you’re probably one of the viewers who got curious after seeing the title card at the end of Season 2 dedicated to Melanie Olmstead.
If you’re wondering who this person could be in the cast or crew, look no further—we’ve got you covered.When Yellowstone’s season 2 finale aired, it was no surprise that a good portion of the fanbase was quick to clamour on social media to learn more about this seemingly integral person to the show.
Sure enough, Melanie Olmstead worked on Yellowstone as a lead for location and transportation.With a deep history in the movie and television industry, she’s been around since 2000, working on sets (as a driver and location assistant) for popular media like Hereditary, Good Joe Bell, Point Break, John Carter, 12 Dogs of Christmas: Great Puppy Rescue, Jackie & Ryan, Wind River, Snatchers, Andi Mack and a lot more.
Her work is definitely one of the more underappreciated aspects of TV production, so it’s great to see the team behind Yellowstone present this dedication to her.The background in the production of Hollywood movies and shows is an extremely hectic job.
With 20 years of industry experience, Melanie (a location lead) was certainly one of the few people fully capable of doing that job.Melanie Olmstead (raised by her adoptive parents, Janet Corbridge and Reid Howard) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, spending most of her time in the area.
