Yvette Mimieux was an American actress who had a net worth of $50 million at the time of her death. Yvette Mimieux enjoyed a career in films and television stretching back to the mid-1950s. Her last acting role was in 1992. She died on January 17, 2022 at the age of 80.
Born to a French father and a Mexican mother, Los Angeles-born Mimieux was one of the finalists in a beauty contest selected by Elvis Presley. Along with the other finalists, Mimieux was invited on set to compete for a small role in Jailhouse Rock – but the beauty wasn't selected. This did not hinder Mimieux's acting career as she appeared in several films including The Time Machine (1960), The Light of the Piazza (1962) and Toys in the Attic (1963).
