From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Yvette Mimieux (born January 8, 1942 in Los Angeles, California) is an actress with a French father and a Mexican mother. In 1960, she appeared in the teen movie, Where The Boys Are but probably her most famous role was in George Pal's 1960 motion picture version of H.G. Wells' novel, The Time Machine, co-starring Rod Taylor.
In it she played Weena, a member of the Eloi, who live in a seemingly tranquil paradise of an Earth of the far future, thousands of years after the 20th century. She befriends Taylor's character after he travels to this time, as he attempts to explain to her the importance of history and civilisation, to which the other Eloi are indifferent.
