A Conversation With Inside Out 2 Writer Meg LeFauve

On the outside, Meg LeFauve may look like a calm, cool, and oh-so-professional screenwriter, but on the inside, she’s a world class worrier. From an early age, Meg learned to deal with her worries by telling stories, but the idea of becoming a screenwriter in Hollywood was too overwhelming, so she took a detour and became a film producer.

My Second Coming Out

As a kid, I was really good at following the “rules.” Growing up in a more conservative suburb outside of St. Louis, Missouri, my goal was to fit in: that I’d find a good husband, get a decent job, have a couple of kids, travel when I could, live a good life.
