Best Answer

Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a french novalist who liked writing mystery novels. He was a bit of a "rebel"; he enjoyed drinking and gambling. He travelled to many different places, including India. His most famous novel while he was still alive - and even now - was 'The mystery of the yellow room'. 'The Phantom of the Opera' became his most well known after Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical and multiple movies were made based on his book. Throughout his life he was always writing, be it for newspapers, as a play critic, or a novelist. Gaston died in Nice on April 15th, 1927 of a major urinary infection.

The original novel Phantom of the Opera, was written by Gaston Leroux which was printed in 1909.

The non Musical Movies, 1976 Ken Hill's musical, and 1986 Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical both on stage and film will be loosely based on Gaston Leroux's Phantom of the Opera. They have their own script and author.

As for the movies the most faithful to Gaston Leroux's Phantom has been 1925 Lon Chaney's Phantom of the Opera, but the ending the movie goes it own direction allowing the Phantom to be killed by the mob.
