- She wrote and starred as Angela de Vries in the 1974 made-for-TV action drama thriller film, Hit Lady. Regarding her character in the film, she stated that the more she thought about the character “the more I wanted to play her. Here was the kind of nifty, multifaceted part I’d been looking for. So instead of a short story, I wrote it as a film.”
- Yvette Mimieux eventually became displeased with the kind of roles offered to female actors and once stated, “The women they [male screenwriters] write are all one dimensional,” she said.”They have no complexity in their lives. It’s all surface. There’s nothing to play. They’re either s*x objects or vanilla pudding.”
- She appeared as Kim Stacy, a glamorous CIA agent, in the 1970 adventure film, The Delta Factor, starring alongside Christopher George.
- It was talent manager Jim Byron who suggested her to become an actress.
- 1959 Deb Star.
