One of my favorite 1960s blondes! I must have seen Where The Boys Are 30 times! Well, Dolores, Paula and Connie are still with us.

And we'll get to celebrate her again later this year when Brothers Grimm comes to Blu-ray.

Yvette Mimiuex was fearless!! Here she is skydiving last year at the age of 79! She lived a long and fruitful life! She is now one with the heavens. Rest in love sweet lady!

She had a unique way of projecting innocence and guilelessness. Beside the movies already mentioned, I really liked her The Light in the Piazza. RIP

One of my first huge crushes. I'll always remember her as Weena.

The Time Machine is one of my all-time favorite movies! I’m sorry to say that other than that I have only seen Brothers Grimm and Dark of the Sun. May she Rest In Peace.

"Light In the Piazza" is a wonderful film.

A blonde treasure! Always reminded me of one of my first cousins.
Lovely woman, and she could act as well. RIP.

Thanks Matt. Guess I'm the last to know about Brothers Grimm. I signed many petitions over the years too. Fantastic! Watched my Laserdisc not too long ago. I gave up hoping for Blu-ray years ago. Your comment has made my day. Thanks

All of us who are fans of the film are beyond excited. We're going to get a pretty deluxe Blu-ray similar to what was done with How the West Was Won all those years ago with traditional letterbox and Smilebox formats, bonus features, and a restored picture that will send that laserdisc we've all been depending on all these decades to the garbage heap.

She was terrific in the under appreciated 1963 movie version of Lillian Helman's Toys in the Attic along with Dean Martin, Geraldine Page, Wendy Hiller and Gene Tierney, directed by George Roy Hill.

This is very much worth searching out to watch if you haven't seen it. It has been said Dean is miscast because he doesn't look related to the actresses portraying his sisters. No matter. Imo, he hits all the other requirements for the role perfectly. I consider it his best straight dramactic, non-comedic performance, better than his impressive and more celebrated turns in Rio Bravo and Some Came Running.

From start to devastating finish, Yvette Mimiuex is haunting, tragic and memorable in it. I am really not sure why this one was not given more attention in her career overview.
