She was quite the hottie in her day. Remember her in 'The Time Machine'?

Yvette Mimieux Dies; Actress/Writer Who Starred In ‘The Time Machine’ Had Just Turned 80​

Yvette Mimieux was found dead this morning, a rep for her family confirmed. She had just turned 80 on January 10, and she passed away in her sleep of natural causes.

Mimieux was a prolific actress who is best remembered for starring opposite Rod Taylor in the 1960 George Pal-directed film version of the H.G. Wells novel The Time Machine at MGM where she was soon put under a long term contract. Another big hit came months after in Where The Boys Are. Among her other credits around that time were Platinum High School, Mr. Lucky, Where the Boys Are, Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Light in the Piazza. The latter garnered her strong reviews for playing a mentally disabled girl and the time she said, “I supposed I have a soulful quality. I was often cast as a wounded person, the ‘sensitive’ role. She played Dean Martin’s child bride in the 1963 pic Toys in the Attic, and teamed with director Serge Bourguignon in the films The Reward and The Picasso Summer.

Surely she was more famous and accomplished than this but the only memories I have of her, the only awareness I have ever had of her were in connection with The Black Hole, a rather lame movie, that has the distinction of being the very first PG-rated Disney movie.

Sorry to hear that. Loved the Time Machine and she was also good in Where the Boys Are.

The idea was good. Just not written well.

Wonder how she died?

"Natural causes at 80"? A rather lackluster acting career but a pretty babe when she was young.
