Yvette Mimieux Nude

The magic of Yvette Mimieux's name evokes the exotic allure of far-off places--a rich, sensual resonance of old world charm and wiles. Is she from the glittering lights of Paris? The mysterious alleyways of Marseilles? Hardly. She was a hometown Hollywood girl, discovered when a motion picture press agent's helicopter made an emergency landing out in the scrubs where Yvette was horseback riding. We're not kidding. The petite French/Mexican hybrid shot to fame and the national libido portraying the innocent, free-loving future girl Weena, who always looked one shimmy away from falling out of her toga, in The Time Machine (1960). She later became a hit in Hit Lady (1974), which contains multiple beach scenes wherein Yvette's bikini bod looks straight out of a modern Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. Although Yvette could always be counted on for an erotically charged screen presence, her only true exposure occurred during an altercation with a horny guard in Roger Corman's overcooked, overlooked classic Jackson County Jail (1976), which, contrary to expectations, failed to provide the requisite shower scene. But it did provide us with a full shot of her full, fabulous funbags. More like Jackoffson County Jail! She next got lovely in Forbidden Love (1982). Although there isn't any nudity in the film, the 40-year-old looks fantastic. Yvette spent the '80s in several TV shows and movies, including The Love Boat and The Fifth Missile (1986), before retiring from acting in 1992. She went into yoga, business, real estate, and even became an anthropologist. We'd sure love to study her remains.
