Minter was a quarterfinalist at the Australian Open in 1988, beating fourth seed Pam Shriver in the R16 when the tournament moved to the hard court surface at Melbourne Park. She twice reached the R16 at Wimbledon, upsetting ninth seed Hana Mandlíková in the third round in 1988.

Jeff 'Yak' Minter (born in Reading, 22 April 1962^{[citation needed]}) is a British video game designer and programmer. He is the founder of software house Llamasoft and his recent works include Neon (2004), a non-game music visualization program that has been built into the Xbox 360 console, and the video games Space Giraffe (Xbox Live Arcade, 2007 and PC, 2008), and Space Invaders Extreme (Xbox Live Arcade, May 2009).

Fans of Minter's games have identified a number of distinctive elements common to his games.^{[citation needed]} They are often arcade style shoot 'em ups. They often contain titular and/or in-game references demonstrating his fondness of ruminants (llamas, sheep, camels, etc.). Many of his programs also feature something of a psychedelic element, as in some of the earliest "light synthesizer" programs including his Trip-a-Tron.

In online forums and informal game credits pages Minter usually signs as "Yak", which is, in his own words

"a pseudonym chosen a long time ago, back in the days when hi-score tables on coin-op machines only held three letters, and I settled on Yak because the yak is a scruffy hairy beast - a lot like me ;-)."

Mary Miles Minter (April 1, 1902 – August 4, 1984) was an American film actress of the silent film era.

Born Juliet Reilly in Shreveport, Louisiana, Minter was the younger daughter of Lilla Pearl Reilly (née Miles and later known as Broadway actress Charlotte Shelby) and her husband, Joseph Homer Reilly. At the age of five, she accompanied older sister Margaret on an audition only because no baby sitter was available, was noticed by the director and given her first part. After this she was frequently employed, widely noted for both her talent and visual appeal. In 1912, to avoid child labour laws in Chicago while her 10 year-old daughter was appearing in a play, Shelby obtained the birth certificate of a cousin and changed Juliet's name to Mary Miles Minter. She made her first feature film in 1915 at the age of 13, after which her career steadily grew.

Minter specialised in playing demure young women. With her photogenic "registration^{[clarification needed]}", even features, "periwinkle blue eyes" and curly hair, she emulated and later rivaled Mary Pickford.
