Madeleine Lebeau, an actress known best for her role as Rick’s girlfriend in the classic film "Casablanca," died May 1, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She was 92.
Her stepson, filmmaker Carlo Alberto Pinelli, told The Hollywood Reporter that she had died in Spain. It is widely believed that she was the last surviving cast member of "Casablanca."
The French actress played the jilted girlfriend of Rick in the legendary film. Rick was played by Humphrey Bogart. She is featured in the scene where the patrons of Rick’s Cafe sing a patriotic version of “La Marseillaise” while the Germans are singing their own patriotic song. She is seen singing “La Marseillaise” while tears well up in her eyes as the French citizens drown out the singing of the Germans.
