Gaston Leroux
Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction and he wrote "Phantom of the Opera" in 1910. Gaston Leroux was born in Paris where he studied law until he inherited millions of francs and began to spend lavishly until he reached near bankruptcy. He went on to have several jobs, including being a court reporter and a theater critic. Later in his career, he began working as an international correspondent for the Paris newspaper Le Matin. Some critics claim that one of the most important cases he was present at involved the investigation and deep coverage of the former Paris Opera and now the Paris Ballet. Supposedly, the basement contained a cell that held prisoners of the Paris Commune, which may have been the inspiration behind his famous novel, "Phantom of the Opera". Gaston quickly left journalism in 1907, and began writing fiction. In 1909, he and Arthur Bernède formed their own film company, so they could publish novels simultaneously and turn them into films.
