In the second half of the 1960s, Tiffin moved to Italy, where she made several movies through 1974. One of her biggest successes there was the 1968 comedy Torture Me But Kill Me With Kisses. During this time, she still tried to keep a foothold in America, making an appearance in a 1969 issue of Playboy and starring in Peter Ustinov's 1969 comedy Viva Max!. She also made the 1971 TV movie The Last of the Powerseekers during a brief return to Hollywood.
Tiffin quit acting in 1974 after marrying her second husband, Edmondo Danon. She is survived by Danon and their two children, Echo and Aurora. She was first married to magazine editor Clay Felker from 1962 to 1969.
Tiffin was the subject of Tom Lisanit's book, Pamela Tiffin: Hollywood to Rome, 1961-1974. In the book, Lisanti wrote that Tiffin was "one of the most beautiful and talented actresses of her time, and she left an indelible impression on movie fans. For my money, she is prettier than Raquel Welch, funnier than Jane Fonda, and more appealing than Ann-Margret Olsson. Yet they all became superstars, and Tiffin did not."
