Hailey Faucheaux -About

Here’s some background information; my name is Hailey Faucheaux. I’m the oldest child in my family. I am from New Orleans, Louisiana and I am Cajun French and Irish. I'm proud of my heritage, I love my city and I believe it’s the best place in the world to call home. Growing up in the New Orleans area, I’ve always been influenced by different types of art, especially music. From jazz and a cappella street musicians to punk rock and Johnny Cash, I’ve experienced it all and I love it all. I am currently a Visual Arts major at Loyola University New Orleans. My ambition of the moment is to do special effects work in the film industry. I love creating characters and defining their look. The first scary movie I ever watched as a child was the original Nightmare on Elm Street, I think that's what kicked off my obsession with horror films and sketching monsters.

I'm inspired by all kinds of movies and the way that they make people reflect on their lives and the world around them. I'm fascinated by the thought that a powerful film can have an impact on a person’s opinion and change the way they see things. My favorite movies are Rob Reiner’s Stand by Me and Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous.
My list of role models include people such as Gilda Radner, Billie Holiday and JPII. 
My general outlook on life was most simply put into words in this quote by Red Skeleton, "If by chance someday you're sad or not feeling well and you should remember some little thing I've said or done and it brings back a smile to your face or a chuckle to your heart, then my purpose as your clown has been fulfilled."

  1. Hi, Hailey, Did you know that Red Skeleton always ended his TV show by saying, "Good night Mrs. Calabash, where ever you are"? Movies do have a powerful effect on social values and on people's ideas. So we have to be critical about them.
