Yvette Mimieux, Actress in ‘Where the Boys Are’ and ‘Jackson County Jail,’ Dies at 80

Yvette Mimieux, the radiant actress who created a stir in the 1960s with performances in Where the Boys Are, Light in the Piazza, Toys in the Attic and, in a history-making turn, Dr. Kildare, has died. She was 80.

Mimieux died overnight Monday into Tuesday in her sleep at her home in Bel Air, family rep Michelle Bega told The Hollywood Reporter.

...

In the ’70s, Mimieux wrote and starred as a remorseless assassin in the 1974 ABC telefilm The Hit Lady, portrayed a falsely accused woman victimized by a sadistic guard in Jackson County Jail (1975) and appeared in the sci-fi drama The Black Hole (1979), the first PG-rated film from Disney.

...

In 1964, she became what is believed to be the first actress to show her naval on an America TV show when she guest-starred in a two-part episode of NBC’s Dr. Kildare in which her surfer character has an ill-fated romance with Richard Chamberlain.

...

Yvette Carmen Mimieux was born in Los Angeles on Jan. 8, 1942. Her father, René, immigrated from France and had bit parts in movies before working at an electronics firm, and her mother, Maria, was born in Mexico.

Yeah, I always think of her for playing Weena in The Time Machine. Dear sweet baby Cthulhu, my adolescent lust for her . . .
