Yvette Mimieux, standing at exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), was a petite powerhouse in Hollywood whose height perfectly suited her elegant and resilient screen presence. Despite her modest stature, she famously declared, "I'm five-feet-four, but I always feel six-foot-one, tall and strong," projecting unshakeable confidence in her roles.
Best known for her breakout as the ethereal Weena in The Time Machine (1960), where her delicate 5ft 4 frame enhanced the character's otherworldly charm, Mimieux earned three Golden Globe nominations for performances in The Light at the Edge of the World, Hit Lady, and Jackson County Jail (1976), showcasing her versatility across film and television.
