I see IMDb and a blurb on last.fm both say it's her, but they disagree on the year she was in Playboy, so not too confidence inspiring.
Ms. Jeffries actually posed for
Playboy
twice: in 1971 at the age of 33 and in 1982 at the age of 45.
All the universe or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?

I found the singer Fran Jeffries, but there is another who might have sung the theme song. ELSIE BIANCHI who sings with her trio. I haven't heard the song, but here is a Youtube link;

I wish I had some confirmation that it's Fran Jeffries performance in the movie. Granted it's quite a different style song than "Meglio Stasera," but the performer's range sounds lower than when she sings "Meglio Stasera" in "The Pink Panther" and the performer's fairly wide and fast vibrato (or is that tremolo?) in "Shadows of Paris" seems different too.

I want it to be her because I like both movies and both songs and I want to picture her when I hear "Shadows of Paris" because she was gorgeous in "Pink Panther."

Actually the song (The shadows of Paris - Fran Jeffries) is available here for free:

yes, it's Fran Jeffries who sings it, but her version of the song is not available on any official CD/cassette/record, which is a shame
therapeuticpink.proboards102.com

Which makes sense, since she appears in the original PINK PANTHER and sings that film's other song, "It Had Better Be Tonight."

According to this IMDB page, it's Fran Jeffries.

The version of "The Shadows Of Paris" on The Ultimate Pink Panther is NOT the version from the film. The version on the CD & on a Cassette of Henry Mancini Music that I had is by an all male chorus & is no where near as good as the version in the movie sung by an unidentified woman! Who is she?

I'm listening now to the song you were looking for, I've just bought the collection "The ultimate Pink Panther". The Shadow of Paris is a wonderful, stunning song butI can't find the name of the singer. There's no credit about the singer in the booklet of the collection!
I suggest you to buy this collection, I don't remember any other Mancini's collection having "The shadow of Paris" inside.
Have a good time with wonderful music,
Chiara

Music by Henry Mancini. Lyrics by Robert Wells. But the Credits don't say the singers name of the songs "Shadows of Paris." Get the sound tracks of Pink panther movies Henry Mancini.

The title (Shadows of Paris)and the artist are in the opening credits.

It's called "Shadows of Paris"
"Take Your Time, Leave Mine Alone!"
