Marie Madeleine Berthe Lebeau (10 June 1923 â€" 1 May 2016) was a
French film actress.Lebeau married actor Marcel Dalio in 1939; it was
his second marriage. They had met while performing a play together.
She had already appeared in her first film, an uncredited role as a
student in the melodrama Young Girls in Trouble (Jeunes filles en
détresse, 1939). In June 1940, Lebeau and Dalio (who was Jewish) fled
Paris ahead of the invading German Army and reached Lisbon. They are
presumed to have received transit visas from Aristides de Sousa
Mendes, allowing them to enter Spain and journey on to Portugal. It
took them two months to obtain visas to Chile.However, when their
ship, the S.S. Quanza, stopped in Mexico, they were stranded, along
with around 200 other passengers, when the Chilean visas they had
purchased turned out to be forgeries. Eventually, they were able to
get temporary Canadian passports and entered the United States. Lebeau
made her Hollywood debut in Hold Back the Dawn (1941), which featured
Charles Boyer and Olivia de Havilland in the leading roles. The
following year, she appeared in the Errol Flynn movie Gentleman Jim, a
biography of Irish-American boxer James J. Corbett.Lebeau learned
English during a seven-week stay with Dalio on a Portuguese freighter
that was seeking a port for landing. Madeleine Lebeau Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
