August 29th is Ingrid Bergman’s birthday. In honor of this day, can you imagine her in Burbank and Van Nuys? “Casablanca” was filmed in those two locations: Warner Bros. Studio in Burbank (the principal location), and one sequence was filmed at good old Van Nuys Airport. Van Nuys airport has been re-configured since then. The old runway and hangars are no longer there. The film started production in May of 1942. Picture Ingrid Bergman hanging out in the Valley! http://museumsanfernandovalley.blogspot.com/2011/10/ingrid-bergman-and-humphrey-bogart-with.html Here’s a great piece from the CBC in Canada with some interesting side bits on Bergman and this great film. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/q/blog/casablanca-at-75-fascinating-facts-about-one-of-the-most-famous-films-of-all-time-1.4413515
