That said, she always did remind me of a poor man’s Catherine Deneuve. She has the same elegant, demure, vulnerable, rather girl-like, and – I’ll admit – very French persona. Unlike Mlle. Deneuve, though, Mlle. Mimieux was in more than her share of classic B’s.
One of my personal favorites of those is The Time Machine, where Yvette portrays a very fetching Eloi. In fact, I’m pretty sure I had a major crush on her Weena back when I was ten or so.
BTW, she still looks great today.
