...Yvette Mimieux is her real name; yet it sounds more like an anagram or a code phrase devised by aliens, vaguely but discernibly inventive. Her hair is naturally blonde, yet it is so impossibly pale, so much closer to moonlight than to anything found on any ordinary human head, that it seems the product of a prop department. Her complexion, clear as ice and the untroubled color of early dawn, hints of a makeup artist. Her eyes, too, momentarily blue, then grey, then aquamarine, then green, look to be explicable only if they are not eyes at all but varying...
...perfection, after all, is the stuff that Hollywood starlets, as well as myths, are made of; and to Actress Yvette Mimieux, currently picking up a cool $60,000 a year as Hollywood's newest bit of fancy, the stuff seems genuine enough. So is her new-found stardom.

The show offers also an album of snapshots, each one approximately the size of Liechtenstein, that dramatically itemize South Germany. And it offers, inserted at intervals in the story, three full-length fairy tales (The Dancing Princess, The Cobbler and the Elves, The Singing Bone...
...actor who expressed passion by bulging his eyeballs and moodily waggling his whipstock. Undaunted, M-G-M decided to risk a remake of Horsemen. With the help of Director Vincente Minnelli (Gigi), eight big-name players (Glenn Ford, Ingrid Thulin, Charles Boyer, Lee J. Cobb, Paul Lukas, Yvette Mimieux, Karl Boehm, Paul Henreid) and a $6,000,000 budget, the new production manages in several respects to be even sillier than...
