Yvette Mimieux, star of the 1960 sci-fi flick “The Time Machine,” has passed away at 80.
She died in her sleep from natural causes on Tuesday morning, her family’s rep confirmed to Deadline.
Mimieux just celebrated her 80th birthday on Jan. 8. She was best known for starring alongside Rod Taylor in the film adaption of H.G. Wells’ novel “The Time Machine,” but had notable roles in the movies “Where the Boys Are,” “Platinum High School,” “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” and “Light in the Piazza.”

She didn’t make him think twice?
“eye-vet mim-you.”
ee-vet meem-you
I just watched that a couple days ago!!
She was the first actress who made me not care what the movie was about.
I imagine his sexuality was well known then. One need only watch the guy for five minutes to figure it out.
Light in the Piazza is a fantastic movie. Plus Olivia deHaviland
Its currently in the on demand section of TCM, if you have it.
TCM is frustrating for me. We had it with Comcast (Xfinity) but canned that because of the very high price. We have it on Spectrum internet streaming tv (“TV Choice”), but apparently it is only available when I’m on our home network. It isn’t available remotely when traveling.
My TiVo recorded a lot of TCM movies before I shut off Xfinity. I was ready to sell the TiVo box just yesterday when I realized I have a trove of TCM movies on it. I plugged it back in and will watch the movies before I sell it. It may take a while.
Criterion and TCM are great services!
For me, that was “A Hundred Rifles”. Do you know to whom I refer?
She was in her time considered the most beautiful actress in the world.
AGED WELL! No “trout” pout.
“I imagine his sexuality was well known then.”
Probably you’re right. That show was in 1964, and I had no idea that “that” even existed. I learned about it a few years later in college (seminary), and really didn’t even believe it then; it made no sense. Still doesn’t.
I know how you feel.
TCM is available on sling tv and includes the on demand feature which always has about 100 movies you can watch on your own schedule.
“Do you know to whom I refer?”
Heh, heh. That’ll weed us oldsters from the youngsters. She was amazing.
I hard a hard time catching glimpses of hot starlets, though. Mom was so strict she wouldn’t even let me see “Goldfinger” when it came out in 1964. I was 13 and thought I was plenty mature enough to handle it, but Mom didn’t agree.
And in right on schedule.
Good friggin’ grief.
**And a love story opposite Richard Chamberlain***
JOY IN THE MORNING.
What a line Chamberlan spoke...
“You look good in new clothes.
You look good in old clothes.
But you look best (whispering) in no clothes.”
I still remember that line after almost fifty eight years.
She was beautiful! My first heart throb when I was still just a young teen.
My heart throb when I was an older teen.
My heart throb when I was a young adult.
I always thought Weena should have been in a Bikini.
I don’t think they had sewing machines to make those housewife dresses.
I seem to recall she was on the cover of the first SI swimsuit edition.
Just watched that movie over the weekend… She was absolutely gorgeous.
Very sad news…
She set the standard for Hollywood beauties.
