On the March 10, 2022 (Young Sheldon: A Suitcase Full of Cash and a Yellow Clown Car (2022)) broadcast of Young Sheldon (2017), executive producer Chuck Lorre's trademark end of show "vanity cards," paid tribute:"Yvette Mimieux In Memoriam The Year was 1960. I was eight years old. I went to see a movie called The Time Machine (1960) and fell hopelessly in love. From the minute Yvette appeared on screen, I was smitten. She played an Eloi, a member of a beautiful, frustratingly passive race of people in the far, far future. The Eloi were the sole food source for the horrible, troll-like Morlocks. Needless to say, this was a very stressful matinee for me. I didn't want the woman of my dreams to be eaten. Thankfully, she was rescued and I didn't have to cope with cinematic tragedy until I saw Steve McQueen die in The Sand Pebbles (1966) (I'm still upset over that). So I would like to pay tribute to my first crush. Yvette Mimieux. My second crush came a few years later. Raquel Welch, trying not to be eaten while running around in a fur bikini".
