Yvette Mimieux
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Yvette's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Yvette Mimieux comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Yvette Mimieux - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Yvette Mimieux" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Yvette a little better. This page describes the disguise Mimieux wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Cautious, prudent, and rather self-contained, she is a person who approaches life realistically and who is not inclined to take foolish chances or get carried away by the overly optimistic or idealistic schemes of starry-eyed dreamers. In fact, Yvette Mimieux frequently has a jaundiced view of such things. She is rather worldly-wise at a fairly young age, even somewhat of a cynic. Often the world does not seem like a safe, friendly place to Mimieux, and she tends to approach life in a guarded, conservative manner. She is generally calculated and careful, and is rarely spontaneous, fluid, open, and childlike.

She is pragmatic, shrewd, and an excellent strategist, carefully planning her moves for maximum effectiveness and advantage. She is willing to work long and persistently for what she wants and she often does things the hard way. Yvette does not expect others to take care of her and sometimes refuses or simply does not seek any outside help. She is often very ambitious, but quietly so. There is nothing flamboyant or flashy about her approach. She is very responsible, conscientious, and concerned with her duties to others and how she comes across socially - her "rank" so to speak.

To others Yvette Mimieux seems mature, serious, quiet, reflective, and emotionally detached. Yvette dislikes sloppy sentimentality and will not openly display her feelings, especially the more tender ones. Mimieux likes to always appear poised and in control; and she hates to show any weakness, vulnerability, or chinks in her armor.

Yvette Mimieux respects tradition and the time-honored way of doing things, and she feels that there is much to be gained from studying history and also by learning from older, more experienced people. A wise mentor or father is often Mimieux's guide in life, and she in turn develops a great deal of hard-earned wisdom, which she likes to impart to younger people.

Yvette Mimieux has a stern, authoritarian, no-nonsense aspect to her personality. She expects much from herself and may not give herself enough leeway to experiment and make mistakes.

She also tends to be rather close-fisted, to save and conserve her money and resources rather than spending or enjoying them. Yvette Mimieux spends money on things of quality and of lasting value, things which are good investments, but not frivolous, temporary pleasures. There is a bit of the ascetic in her. Yvette exercises great self-discipline and self-control and she can "do without" very well. Her tastes are generally understated and simple.

Though she may have other, more colorful and imaginative sides, the face Mimieux shows the world is modest and rather conservative.

Yvette Mimieux appears confident and self-assured and she makes a clear, strong impression on others. She is very concerned with the impact she makes on others and with getting personal recognition, sometimes too much so. Yvette Mimieux tends to dominate in relationships and to be oblivious to others' points of view if they differ very much from Mimieux's own.

To others, Yvette Mimieux appears capable, mature, and down to earth. Even when she was young, there was a certain practicality and responsible air about Yvette that inspired people to rely on her. Mimieux keeps her cool in most situations.

Yvette Mimieux tends to be somewhat inhibited and does not want to attract attention to her. She is likely to think that other people are more important than she is and prefers to live in seclusion.
