Rumors in Hollywood SayActress Secretly Married By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent Hollywood - IUPD - One of the less earth-shattered ques tions going the movietown rounds: Is Yvette Mimieux secretly married? Rumor has it that the 18-year-old actress is wed secret ly to a professor in a South ern California university. But blonde, blue-eyed Yvette, when asked, giggled uncomfortably and shot a knowing look at her press agent - who also giggled. Then, as if to give one an other confidence, they denied the whole thing. The gossip, however, con tinues while Yvette either re fuses to discuss the matter or says "no" with a twinkle in her eye. She figures she has enough problems with her name. Half French on her father's side and half Spanish, Yvette is the newest member of the tongue twisting name brigade. Unusual Name Helpful "I believe an unusual name can be a great help to an act ress," she said prettily at the M-G-M commissary. "Fortun ately, Yvette Mimieux is my real name. Some of the old timers changed theirs." Among the exotic handles of the past were Theda Bara with the help of a slight trans-1 position reads "Arab Death" j backward, Toby Wing, Faye j Wray, Gale Storm, Bessie i Love, Tallulah Bankhead, Helen Twelvetrees, Bessie Barriscale, Pola Negri and Nila Naldi.

"When I came lo metro (where she's's currently star ring in 'Where the Boys Are') they wanted to call me Sally Jane or something. But f stood my ground and they let me keep my own name." Name Is Anglicized She added quickly that her last name is pronounced Mim-1 Yur in French, but has been anglicized to Mim-ee-oh. "There are some disadvant ages to my name," she said. "I get infuriated when peo ple rush up to ask me if I'm a relative of Sal Mineo." Yvette is determined lo be come a motion picture star and vehemently flays televis ion as a waste of time and talent. "When I perform I want It to be a special event, so peo-. ting at home in their undeJ-l "Indefinitely am not mar- pie will dress up and go to the wear drinking Deer." iicu, .. - theater," she explained.
