Remembering actress YVETTE MIMIEUX, who found stardom in the early 1960s portraying delicate, fragile women in THE TIME MACHINE, WHERE THE BOYS ARE and other films (Jan 8, 1942 – Jan 17, 2022)
Her most memorable role came in the 1960 George Pal-directed film version of HG Wells' novel titled The Time Machine, where she starred alongside Rod Taylor.
Shortly after her performance she was handed a long-term contract with MGM.
She later went on to star in movies such as Where The Boys Are, Platinum High School, Mr Lucky, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and Light in the Piazza.
On the small screen she made two appearances as a guest star on the Richard Chamberlain series Dr Kildare where she played the role of a surfer.
In her role on the show,
she became the first actress to bare her navel on television in 1964, and others followed suit soon after.
