R.I.P. Yvette.
NOTE: In para 2 of my Part 2 post on this page [5.36am today] I jokingly referred to chasing away any “native Americans” who came to Belfast. By that I meant Americans of all colours and creeds who are legally classed as native Americans by virtue of being born in the United States under its constitution.
I was not [even in jest] singling out for example the American Indian community [often condescendingly referred to in Hollywood movies as “natives”] and if I gave anyone the wrong impression I deeply apologise.
DICTIONARY “Being native born requires being born within a country, for example the U.S., a child born to citizen parents abroad is still natural born but not native born.
Yvette Mimieux, one of my favorite sci-fi girls from my youth, she played ‘Weena’ in George Pal’s The Time Machine, a big favorite of mine.
I’ve seen 6 of the 23 films on the chart. favorites are – Tha Time Machine, Dark of the Sun and The Black Hole. I’ve also seen – Skyjacked, Brothers Grimm and Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
I may have seen The Neptune Factor when I was young, can’t remember for sure.
Nice to see Time Machine top the critics chart, and also happy to see The Black Hole top the UMR chart, it wasn’t a big hit for Disney and not exactly a critics favorite either.
Good stuff Bruce. Vote Up!
Down the years I have always thought of Cary as “The Great Al Leach”; and it has struck me that he should maybe have retained his original name of Archibald Alec Leach because although from coming into his own as a mega star in the early forties he never again received less than top billing [in a full-length role] the length of his birth name would have ensured that his name was even more highlighted on posters and marquees.
Americans though always seemed to me to have a mania for changing their names – and it appears it is catching. My Uncle emigrated to California in 1957 and becoming a Yank promptly changed his name to “Bob” which he thought sounded more Yankee. When he came home for visits I still called him Uncle Larry because with no disrespect to myself I loved Larry as a name. I don’t think he minded as there were no native Americans about to hear me calling him Larry; we would have soon got rid of THOSE had they surfaced HERE!
On top of her big screen career Yvette did a lot of television and Wikipedia gives full details of 19 of her TV appearances [listing 24 overall] one of which is a 1990 Perry Mason episode that I watched recently: The Case of the Deadly Deception. And here we come full circle in an oblique Dan-like way [given that I have compared Yvette to The Thin Woman] as another of Yvette’s TV appearance was in a 1960’s series Mr Lucky and that of course was the title of an Al Leach 1943 comedy and Archie was one of Thins’ greatest co-stars.
Yvette might indeed be pleased with my associating her with Thins as she might be able to say to her friends: “I’m likened to a woman who was used as a ‘foil’ for Bill Powell in 14 movies; a woman who made two famous comedies with The Great Al Leach; a woman who was King Gable’s constant ‘foil’ in 7 movies!” Anyway “Vote Up!”
