ⓘ About O'Neil de Noux
The De Noux family traveled extensively as a result of O’Neil P. De Noux, Sr.’s being in the US Army. De Noux lived in Kansas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and Italy before his dad retired to New Orleans in the year 1966. During his time in Italy, De Noux started his life-long love of movies and books. He read a book a week from the army post library, and saw just about every Hollywood film produced between 1960 to 1963 at the post theater. The only exceptions were the Bond films and Psycho, which his dad deemed to be inappropriate for a pre-teen. When he was thirteen, he was able to see Psycho, which drew him to greatly admire, and later study closely Alfred Hitchcock’s films.
