Alan Young of Mister Ed fame had a small but great part in THE TIME MACHINE. Yvette was a genuine beauty.

She was still pretty.

I remember her and that movie.

RIP.

She aged really well. She was always a looker and I loved her name. I have no idea how to pronounce it in French, but it looks like “eye-vet mim-you.”

She was in The Black Hole. Arguably the most traumatizing/schizo film ever produced by Disney.

She was a stunning doll in "The Time Machine." Of course, her Weena was nothing like the character in Wells's book.

RIP.

Saw that when I was a kid. I don’t think Uncle Walt would’ve approved of the scene where the evil robot disembowels Norman Bates.

I remember her from a couple Dr. Kildare episodes. Not sure, but I think it was a love story with a tragic ending. She was so beautiful, so hard to forget.

And a love story opposite Richard Chamberlain — I wondered if they knew them he was homosexual.

She was a beauty. RIP

She was an epileptic on one of the episodes. I believe she died swimming in the ocean.

Of course, Kildare was in love with her.

Yup. That’s the one. I cried.
