Born in Oklahoma City, OK, in October 1942, gorgeous Pamela Tiffin grew up in Chicago, where she began a modeling career while in her early teens. She moved to New York to model and attend college, but became so successful in her modeling career that college soon took a back seat. On a trip to California she met producer Hal B. Wallis (husband of actress Martha Hyer), who was so impressed with the beautiful teenager that he cast her in the Tennessee Williams drama Summer and Smoke (1961). Her sterling performance netted her nominations for two Golden Globe awards (in the Best Supporting Actress and Most Promising Female Newcomer categories) in early 1962. Later that year she married magazine mogul Clay Felker. She posted for a number of cheesecake shots in the 1960s and appeared in several light-hearted, frothy romantic comedies. Legendary director Billy Wilder was taken with her comedic skills and cast her in the Coca-Cola-themed Een, twee, drie (1961) with James Cagney and Arlene Francis, and she appeared in such comedies as The Pleasure Seekers (1964) with Ann-Margret and Carol Lynley and For Those Who Think Young (1964) with James Darren and Tina Louise and Harper (1966) starring Paul Newman.
By the mid-1960s, with her marriage failing, she went to Italy to star in a number of sexy comedies including Straziami ma di baci saziami (1968) with Nino Manfredi and Ugo Tognazzi, directed by Dino Risi. In 1974 she remarried and retired from the screen to raise a family and pursue other interests. She lives in New York with husband Edmondo Danon and her two daughters.
