Ironically i just watched her in the movie " toys in the attic" with dean martin and geraldine paige. Its a drama, always loved her

I didn't know she'd been married to Stanley Donen (one of several of his wives).
Thanks for the news @twinsister .

Very pretty actress who entertained me with her roles in Where the Boys Are, Time Machine, Light in the Piazza. I still watch these movies and enjoy them. Yvette left her mark in the entertainment world in movies which weren't huge hits but were memorable/
May she be at peace.

Ah, she was always a favorite of mine! For some reason The Time Machine is the movie that comes to mind first when I think of her.
I just googled images of Yvette, and I don't agree that she hadn't had any "work" done. In her more mature pics she has those poofy cheeks that come with a lot of filler to smooth out the face. Her cheeks are not at all like that in any of her younger pictures. In any case, I still think she was lovely.

@shoesnbags - You are right. Since I wrote the post, I've seen other pictures of her with the poofy cheeks.

twinsister, we have the same memories of Yvette. I cannot count the number of times I've seen Light in the Piazza and Where the Boys Are. She had an airy and incandescent presence on the screen.
Didn't she have a soft spot in her heart for animals, too? I recall her as being proactive with animal rescue. I'll google and see. It saddens me that her light has gone out. May she rest in peace.
Added several hours later. I just read a write-up about Yvette in the New York Post, and when I read about her desire for privacy, I wished that many people who crave attention these days would take a page from her playbook. Here is some of what I read:
"She was also known to be extremely private — even in death. No services are planned for the actress, according to Deadline.
“ 'I decided I didn’t want to have a totally public life,' she said back in 1979. 'When the fan magazines started wanting to take pictures of me making sandwiches for my husband, I said ‘no.’ You know there are tribes in Africa who believe that a camera steals a little part of your soul, and in a way I think that’s true about living your private life in public. It takes something away from your relationships, it cheapens them.' ”

I always thought she was so pretty. Rest in Peace, Yvette.

I did not find any print material regarding Yvette and her love of animals, but I did find these photos. A couple could be publicity stills, but she did like animals a lot. She had a gentle being.
[I'll be "dipped," as we used to say. When I posted the last photo below, some verbiage came along with it, and it attests to her love of animals.]

My favorite was "Where the Boys are" too.....
