Who is actress Yvette Mimieux?
Born Yvette Carmen Mimieux on the 8th of January 1942, in Los Angeles, California USA, Yvette Mimieux is a retired 76-year-old Caucasian actress, writer and producer of French and Mexican descent. She is known for the vast number of roles that she portrayed during the 60s, 70s and 80s, particularly in the then super-famous “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells, in which she had the role of Weena. She was active in the often lucrative acting business from 1956 to 1992.
Early Life and Education
Yvette was apparently an only child, raised in the aforementioned place by her French father Rene Mimieux and her Mexican mother Carmen Montemayor. Lack of information means that virtually nothing is known about her early youth. There is just the fact that she grew up in the immediate proximity of Hollywood, and that she thus developed an interest in modeling and acting very early on, although later on disregarding the former. It is unknown what high school she went to or whether she ever matriculated, or if she went to college.
Career
Love Life
It was reputed that the actress dated noted actor Glenn Ford for a time, confirmed by neither of the celebrities. Her first confirmed public relationship was her marriage with the director Stanley Donen, to whom she was married for 12 years. The couple met in 1971 and dated for one year before tying the knot on the 4th of November 1972, but they split-up on the 13th of January 1985. The next year, however, Yvette married the CEO and founder of Oakwood Worldwide, Howard F. Ruby, and the two are still together, apparently childless.
What is Yvette Mimieux’s Net Worth?
Have you ever wondered how rich Yvette Mimieux is, as of mid-2018? According to various authoritative sources, it has been estimated that the current total of Yvette’s accumulated wealth is close to $5 million, largely aided by her successes in the acting industry, while the greatest contributions come from some of her earliest films, as she was a highly paid actor back in her day. As her career had ended, the said amount can’t be expected to increase.
Body Measurements
Concerning the physical attributes of the retired actress, it is said that her vital statistics are 34-22-35, her height is 5ft 4ins (1.63m), but her body weight is unknown, and there is also no information surrounding her dress, foot and bra size. Her hair is light blond and her eyes are dark blue, while her early body shape was considered hourglass.
Social Media Presence
Due to the major influence of social networks, it is nowadays a regular thing for most celebrities to nourish a close and active relationship with their fans, for the sake of increasing the popularity of the projects they’re working on, and thus their own net worth. However, Yvette Mimieux is a retired actress, and as such, she doesn’t seem to care at all for popularity or publicity. She doesn’t own a profile on any of the social media networks, and tracing any of her private life activities is virtually impossible. Until she or her husband decide to disclose more personal information to the media, the fans will have to remain in the dark.
