Six profile facts, one pattern: the public record is strong on craft and quiet on personal life.
| Field | Detail |
|---|---|
| Full name | Julia Schlaepfer |
| Born / birthplace | March 3, 1995, Bellevue, Washington, USA (Rotten Tomatoes) |
| Nationality | American (Wikipedia) |
| Training | NYU Tisch School of the Arts, class of 2017 (Serienjunkies) |
| Breakthrough | Alice Charles in The Politician, 2019–2020 (IMDb) |
| Current series | 1923 on Paramount+ |
Her longest-running screen role is Alexandra, a character who enters the Dutton world as an outsider and becomes its emotional engine. That arc is why her name now comes up in the same sentence as Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren.
Is Julia Schlaepfer married in real life?
Julia Schlaepfer keeps her private life off the record. There is no public confirmation of a husband, fiancé, or engagement in the interviews and profiles tracked for this article, and she tends to steer press conversations toward the work.
Is Julia Schlaepfer British?
- Described as an American actress by Wikipedia
- Her birthplace is Bellevue, Washington, according to the profile data in the table above
So the English accent fans hear in 1923 is a character choice, not the actor’s everyday voice.
The pattern: Schlaepfer gives interviews about the character, not the personal bio.
How old is Julia Schlaepfer?
On the age question, the consistent public data point is March 3, 1995. That date is well documented and gives fans a clear anchor: she was born in 1995.
How tall is Julia Schlaepfer?
Height is the bio stat fans keep asking about, yet neither IMDb nor Rotten Tomatoes lists it in the profiles reviewed here. Treat online figures as guesswork.
Online listings vary, and no verified number has surfaced in the databases used for this profile. Why this matters: birthdate is the hard number; height remains one of the least reliable parts of her online footprint.
What is Julia Schlaepfer’s most popular role?
Wikipedia describes Schlaepfer as best known for two roles: Alice Charles in The Politician and Alexandra Dutton in 1923 (Wikipedia).
How did Julia Schlaepfer become famous?
- She trained at NYU Tisch before moving to screen work
- Her breakthrough credit, listed by IMDb, was Alice Charles in The Politician (2019–2020)
- In 1923, she plays Alexandra, the love interest of Spencer Dutton
The show gave Schlaepfer a role that combined period elegance with real danger. When she talked about Alexandra, she noted the character isn’t based on a real person, but there was an actual Alexandra, Countess of Sussex (Taste of Country).
The takeaway: The Politician proved she could hold a scene; 1923 proved she could carry a romance arc across an entire season.
What else has Julia Schlaepfer been in?
Her filmography is compact, but the credits show range.
What is Julia Schlaepfer doing now?
- Charlie Says (2018) — Sandra Good, plus early arcs in American Horror Stories, Madam Secretary, and Instinct (Serienjunkies)
- The Sky Is Everywhere (2022) — Rachel (TV Insider)
- 1923 season 2 — Alexandra Dutton
Right now, 1923 is her main current project. The 2025 awards conversation around the show has included her performance, and she has said she’d happily come back as a ghost if the story continues past season 2.
The trade-off: a defining TV role gives her visibility but also raises the bar for whatever she chooses next.
Who are the actors in 1923 season 2 of Yellowstone?
The season 2 cast pairs Julia Schlaepfer with Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, the two veteran anchors of the prequel.
Who was the actress in 1923?
- Julia Schlaepfer plays Alexandra Dutton (TV Insider)
- The character is a British woman whose entry into the Dutton family changes the show’s direction
Why this matters: Ford and Mirren give the series its institutional weight, but Schlaepfer’s Alexandra is the character fans argue about between episodes.

I’d love for Alex to return as a ghost if the story keeps going.
Taste of Country
For Paramount+, betting on Alexandra as the emotional core of 1923’s second season is also a bet on Schlaepfer’s ability to hold a sweeping period drama together. For viewers, the choice is straightforward: follow Alexandra into the darker season 2 story, or miss the performance that gives the Dutton prequel its romantic fire.
