YVETTE MIMIEUX | 78

Having failed to win a role in Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock in 1957, Mimieux went on to attain global fame in 1960 when she appeared in the film Platinum High School for MGM, who signed her to a long-term contract. One of her first acting appearances includes roles in the shows Yancy Derringer and One Step Beyond. Throughout her career, she has been nominated for three Golden Globe Awards.

Her fan base grew significantly when she featured in the successful movie, The Time Machine. Mimieux eventually retired from acting in 1992 after starring in the movie Lady Boss. Her romantic life has been as colorful as her roles. She married Howard F. Ruby in 1986, and contrary to the Hollywood myth, these two are still happily together. We hope her attorney sees to it that she is comfortable in retirement, though we’re sure all of the businesses she has invested in will help make sure of that.
