1955, the five-button swimsuit worn by model Jimmy Mitchell. (Photograph © Tommy Mitchell Estate) Jimmy My first glimpse of Jimmy Mitchell occurred when I was a teenager working after school at JAX in Beverly Hills. One Saturday the most extraordinary couple walked into the store. He looked like a small, handsome version of Peter Lorre, and she looked like a cheetah in human form. It was Rudi and Jimmy Mitchell. Jimmy helped him start his career and remained his friend until his death. She still looks like a cheetah.
