How Lucy Boynton weaves fashion and history into her roles | Salon Talks |

Actress Lucy Boynton’s role as Marie Antoinette in “Chevalier” is a window into some of the things she loves most about acting—questioning how history has portrayed people and using fashion as a way to enhance her characters. Known for her roles in “Bohemian Rhapsody," “The Politician” and “The Pale Blue Eye” and as a Chanel ambassador, Boynton tells Salon how working on period pieces has impacted her own sense of style. Plus, she comments on how she is finding her voice and challenging hierarchies on film sets, what draws her to the horror genre and why she’s quiet about her personal life. “The less you know about me, the more you are able to believe the characters,” she said.
