One Step Beyond - Season 2 - Episode 27 - The Clown

[@francochan]

Yvette Mimiuex is such a beautiful actress. 😊 She was captivating as the Eloi, Weena, in the 1960 film, “The Time Machine”, and it still leaves me enraptured to watch her on screen. RIP Ms Mimiuex, who left this world in 2022.

[@George75605]

My favorite role of hers was Angela Thatcher, the Chief Stewardess in "Skyjacked."

[@cadebritt8001]

Yes, the lady has all the attributes of a beautiful lady. I personally don't think white women generally do. I watch all those same programs as a child. It was a simpler time for a kid growing up.

[@kipling1957]

Thanks for telling me who she is.

One of the most beautiful actresses ever to be in movies. The time machine was all about her.Such beauty.

Yvette Mimieux had the sweetest face Ive ever seen.

[@community1949]

This TV series was on in 1959 to 1961 - I was 10 years old in 1959 and this and Outer Limits and The Twilight Zone used to scare the daylights out of me. Back then after the sun went down our neighborhood was pitch black except for street lights at the corner streets making the night extremely dark and spooky.

[@thedevilinfrankenstein6503]

I remember an episode that I think it was from The Twilight Zone, it was about a ventriloquist a live puppet. It was creepy. I still see those puppets creepy..

[@danrieke9988]

So remember these days like you described.

[@danrieke9988]

So remember with great fondness those early days. What I consider to be the greatest old-school Sci-Fi in order are: (1) Metropolis, (silent film 1919), (2) Bride of Frankenstein (1935), (3) Forbidden Planet (1958), (4) The Time Machine (1960), (5) The Incredible Shrinking Man (1957). If you haven't seen these you have not seen classic Sci-Fi at its best.

Been 60+ years since this show was being produced. And in the 60+ years not one TV show has been able to top the theme music numbers of this old show. It's just the best ever.

[@marcgiardina4043]

So True! AndI remembered that when I was just aboy of maybe 9 or 10 years old when I first saw this particular episode how the clown's expression "scared" me to death!

[@francinemckinney9350]

Theme music still scares me.

[@soulfire859]

I saw this episode back in the 1960s when I was around nine years old and never forgot it!! Scared the heck out of me and added to my childhood fear of clowns. Having watched it again, I'm all for poor Pippo choking that creep out!

[@baroqueman1]

Whilst clowns are ostensibly figures of fun, there can be a sinister reality behind the make-up and the mask. Clowns are often creepy and disturbing as a result of this, something that has been exploited in movies over the past 40 years. I was never too keen on clowns as a child, I must say, even though in reality many of them are harmless.

[@JayH7745]

The blonde was also in the 1963 movie drama Toys in the attic. She played Dean Martin's young wife. The actress Yvette Mimieux.

[@barbarapalmer8224]

What a lovely actress.

[@slc2466]

Yvette is probably best known for "The Time Machine."

[@miapdx503]

I love Toys in the Attic. She and Dean Martin were excellent, and the other cast too.

[@jmedakwon]

Also, in the movie "Where The Boys Are" with Connie Francis. She was perfect for roles where she played a waaay too beautiful, fragile lady.

[@hazeleyes1951]

Also in the Time Machine that was a really good movie!!

-Yvette Mimieux was the same young girl that played the part of Weena in the movie with Rod Taylor called The Time Machine.
