Alisha Boe on The Buccaneers, YSL Beauty, and Her Acting Journey
Alisha Boe, YSL Beauty ambassador and star of Apple TV+'s The Buccaneers, discusses her role as Conchita Closson in the Gilded Age drama, her nostalgia for growing up in Los Angeles, and her first encounter with the Black Opium fragrance. Filming season three in Glasgow, Scotland, Boe notes the contrast with her childhood in Canoga Park, where she attended El Camino Real High School and began acting. She recalls being scouted for commercials at showcases, landing her first film role in Amusement at age 11, and later starring in Netflix's 13 Reasons Why. Now 29, Boe expresses interest in action films and working with directors Hiro Murai, Jordan Peele, and Andrea Arnold. The new YSL Black Opium Pink Glaze offers a fruity twist on the classic perfume.
