Madeleine Lebeau |
Madeleine Lebeau, who played Humprey Bogart’s
jilted lover Yvonne in “Casabalanca” with the eyes filled with tears during her
singing of France’s “La Marseillaise” national anthem, died May 1 at the age of
92.
Lebeau is the last surviving cast member. Not too long before making the film, she had escaped Nazi-occupied France with her husband, actor Marcel Dalio, who played croupier Emil in the movie.
Lebeau yells “Viva la France!” in her final, emotional closeup.
