Ingrid Bergman was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on August 29, 1915. As Ilsa Lund, wife of escaping freedom-fighter Victor Laszlo (Paul Henreid), she had no scenes in Casablanca with Peter Lorre, who played the black-market racketeer Ugarte, selling the exit visas they’ll need to travel to Lisbon and then America. Casablanca was a movie neither actor considered very important. In fact, Peter said he made more money playing the roulette wheel on the “Rick’s Gambling Room” set between takes than he did working before the cameras.
In the pages of The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen Youngkin recounts the making of Casablanca through interviews with writer Julius J. Epstein and actor Dan Seymour.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre is available for the Kindle and Nook, as well as hard-back and soft-bound editions.
