Pamela Tiffin is DEAD to me!

The only obituary so far is this Italian one.

Oh, no!!!

She was lovely in lots of fluffy comedies in the 60s.

Texas "It girl" airhead with super big hair. Best performance was One, Two, Three by Billy Wilder.

She as an Okie.

What a shame. She was fantastic in Baywatch.

I remember her from Summer and Smoke and The Pleasure Seekers (with DL fave Ann-Margret)

Wiki puts her in Rome in the late 60s which would have benn the tail end of la dolce vita. Lucky bitch

She did Italian films in the 60s and married an Italian guy

The P.S. gave me a whole new outlook on life. Promiscuity could be fun!

That Starlets thread was one of my favorites. RIP Miss Pamela! ❤️❤️

She was great in Viva Max with Peter Ustinov and DL fave Alice Ghostley. It was a politically incorrect comedy filmed at the Alamo in San Antonio. Ustinov plays a Mexican general who tries to retake Texas, and kidnaps Tiffin and Ghostley and holds them in the Alamo. Both Texans and Mexicans were offended, for different reasons.

She was also good in Harper opposite Paul Newman.

That makes me happy, r11.

I remember her miming a very slow "It Might as Well Be Spring" in some fantastic CinemaScope in the State Fair remake.

I guess her wish to be "somewhere else walking down a strange new street" has come true.

RIP Pamela

Someone claimed that she took to making herself up in a similar style to Carol Matthau. I feel the picture is incomplete without snaps of later in life Pamela.

She had two daughters, "Echo" and "Aurora".

It might as well...

Oh, Pam, lemme show ya how it's done...

Oops....dammit.

Her singing was dubbed by Anita Gordon.

"It's a Grand Night for Singing," with Pamela Tiffin, Bobby Darin, Pat Boone and Ann-Margret.

Meh.

Pamela Tiffin, Ann-Margret and Carol Lynley starred in "The Pleasure Seekers," a remake (with songs) of "Three Coins in the Fountain," only set in Madrid instead of Rome, and with the same director (Jean Negulesco. Also in the cast, a long way down from "Laura," was Gene Tierney. It had a swingin' poster.

With Jimmy Cagney in "One, Two ,Three".

She was the worst guest panelist in the history of What's My Line? Utterly hopeless at forming questions, much less guessing occupations!

Dying to see photos of her in recent years!!!

r25 - Arlene dear, how was she when you trod the boards of the legitimate theatre together?

Say what you will, but she was very funny as the airhead Coca-Cola heiress in Billy Wilder’s “One Two Three.”

“Choo-Choo Babcock. Met him in a telephone booth. 43 of us piled inside, and by the time we got out, we were engaged.”

“My daddy gets upset when I order anything with Russian dressing.”

“Me? A countess? That means everybody’ll have to curtsey to me. Except maybe Grace Kelly.”

With Clay Felker, her first husband

....Pamela Tiffin in "Harper" with Paul Newman and Robert Wagner

"For Those Who Think Young." She doesn't have much to do in this clip, but some of the guys on the beach are hot.

she played a spoiled heiress in "Harper ", with Paul Newman, Lauren Bacall and Janet Leigh.

You can see her at age 70 in a documentary on youtube--:Abel Ferrera: Not Guilty." He's disgusting but she's quite beautiful even though her hair was platinum and she gained a bit of weight. .

Would have loved an autobiography from her. A juicy one, with lots of gossip about the stars she worked with in the industry.

From 1h:07:00

R35 what kind of Micheal Jackson white makeup is she wearing to bleach her skin and why are her hair and skin the same color? It’s bizarre someone would want to do that to herself.

That’s her daughter right? Chainsmoking with a smokers cough, awesome. She looks like someone who never got over that 13 year old phase of trying to be as “weird/alternative” as possible to be cool.

I liked her in her movies with James Darren.....especially THE LIVELY SET which also featured Doug McClure and Joanie (Johnny Get Angry) Sommers.

Her granny panties in THE PLEASURE SEEKERS were hilarious.

Those aren't granny panties, these are

The shelves of her Wikifeet are well-stocked. To me that’s the gold standard of female celebrity.

Her legs were rather shapeless.

Was she ever famous enough to make the Oscars In Memoriam cut?

Pam was never dead before so we'll just have to see.

Pamela Tiffin Wonso, 78 (October 13, 1942 – December 2, 2020)

In OP picture she looks like Dalida. A french singer who also was a gay diva icon

Oh the wit r43.

It's just the hair, r45. Dalida has the jaw of Joan Sutherland. Pam was all round lines and curves.

R47 Nah, not Joan Sutherland jaw at all. Even here when you got older she still had her Italian jaw

R47 Nah, not Joan Sutherland jaw at all. Even here when you got older she still had her Italian jaw

Saw Dinner at Eight in 1966 on Broadway., but remember nothing about the production. Pamela Tiffin in the Jean Harlow role. June Havoc! Arlene Francis! Walter Pigeon! Blanche "Bohemian Girl" Yurka!, and the super hot Darren McGavin.

I always associate Tiffin with big hair--rather like Baby Jane Holzer, the Warhol superstar, socialite and model.

She was a big hair girl, r50!

Big hair, indeed.

I would guess this pic is from not long before she retired.

She enjoyed the white make up even back then.

^^ For some reason, the picture on the right reminds me of Allison Hayes in "The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman." I feel as though she should have a miniature car in her hand.

I watched that again the other day, r55. Pamela had nicer hands than Allison.

Couldn't find it, R33.

My French-Egyptian ex loved Dalida.

[Quote] Couldn't find it, [R33].

It's linked at r35...

Though she appears for a few minutes in the Ferrara doc (I think it's around the 1 hr, 7 min. mark), it's as though the cameraman is willfully not allowing us to get a full glimpse of her. Abel's hunched back is constantly in the way..

Thank you, R59!

r53 She had pointy nips

She was fun -I loved her in One, Two, Three.

[Quote] Abel's hunched back is constantly in the way..

Not quite true. At one point someone has her get up so they can move the furniture. She'd put on weight but she wasn't enormous.

At 70 she reminded me a bit of Debbie Reynolds.

[quote] Was she ever famous enough to make the Oscars In Memoriam cut?

Not so far.

I don’t know how I missed the passing of Pamela Tiffin! She was exquisite back in the day - she was very funny in “Come Fly With Me” where she played a stewardess along with Sister Dolores Hart and Lois Nettleton. In a lot of her movies she was very funny with her odd feminine speech pattern and was good at physical comedy. She was good at being “funny exasperated.” In a different time she would have made a good quirky Charlotte in “Sex and the City.”
