Conrad Veidt - Later Career

Later Career

In the 1940s he moved back to Hollywood, California, and starred in a few films, such as Nazi Agent (1942), in which he had a dual role as a Nazi and as the Nazi's twin brother, but his best remembered role was as Major Heinrich Strasser in Casablanca (1942). He found himself invariably playing the very characters he detested.

In 1943, he died suddenly of a massive heart attack while playing golf at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles. In 1998, his ashes were interred at the Golders Green Crematorium in London.
