YVETTE MIMIEUX | 78

Yvette Carmen Mimieux, born to a French father and a Mexican mother on January 8, 1942, is a three-time nominee for a Golden Globe Award. She became an actress because a talent manager, Jim Byron, suggested that she’d become a great actress. Her first appearance in the industry was in the TV shows One Step Beyond and Yancy Derringer. Even though she failed to have a role in Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock in 1957, she managed to have international fame in 1960 when she did Platinum High School for MGM. She also had a long-term contract with the media company. But, it didn’t stop there for Yvette.

She even attained great prominence when she took part in the 1960 movie, The Time Machine. After her successful years in the business, Yvette decided to retire in 1992. Although she was still young at the time, she might have felt secure about what she got. Sadly, she needed to hire a divorce lawyer when she parted with Stanley Donen in 1985.
