Madeleine LeBeau, 'Casablanca' actress

Madeleine LeBeau, a French actress who fled Nazi-occupied Europe for Hollywood, where she made the best of a small role as the scorned girlfriend of Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine in Casablanca, died May 1 in Estepona, Spain. She was widely reported to be 92.

Madeleine LeBeau, a French actress who fled Nazi-occupied Europe for Hollywood, where she made the best of a small role as the scorned girlfriend of Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine in Casablanca, died May 1 in Estepona, Spain. She was widely reported to be 92.

The cause was complications from a broken thighbone, her stepson, documentary filmmaker and mountaineer Carlo Alberto Pinelli, told the Hollywood Reporter.

Ms. LeBeau (sometimes credited as Lebeau) was the last surviving credited cast member of Casablanca (1942), which the American Film Institute lists - after Citizen Kane - as the second-greatest movie of all time.

For Ms. LeBeau, Casablanca was the seminal performance of her career. She played Yvonne, the cast-off lover of Bogart's worldweary Rick.

Neglected by Rick, a drunken Yvonne steps out with a German soldier. She regains her moral compass back at the nightclub as she hears patrons sing "La Marseillaise" in an attempt to drown out a German patriotic song.

The movie was stuffed with first-rate character actors from around the world, including Ms. LeBeau's then-husband, Marcel Dalio, as a croupier. In one of the movie's most indelible scenes, he hands over winnings to the corrupt police official Renault (played by Claude Rains), "shocked, shocked" to find gambling on the premises.

Ms. LeBeau said she hoped Casablanca would catapult her to great demand. It did not.

She later played a temperamental French actress in filmmaker Federico Fellini's Oscar-winning 81/2 (1963), which her second husband cowrote.

After the war, Ms. LeBeau returned to Europe.

Her film career ended by the late 1960s, and she remained in Rome after making 81/2.
