| I want to thank my friend Veronique, great granddaughter of Leroux for her friendship, her kindness, charming and this wonderful interview. Thank you Veronique, I will never forget what you said to me the very first time we met: "Gaston Leroux would be proud of you". Sandra - Do you believe that someone did exist in truth at the Opera Garnier cellars? Veronique - Yes, of course! My great grandfather was journalist and he based his novel in a real fact. There truly was a man in the Opera cellars, with a deformed face... Yes, it's true, with no doubt. Sandra - What percentage of reality has the novel of the Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux? Veronique - Let me see... Sandra - 50%? Veronique - Quite more, indeed! More than only 50%, quite more. |
