Tony Curtis undoubtedly went out the way he would’ve wanted, in a memorial service and funeral Monday that was warm, funny and affectionate.
An overflow crowd of more than 400 family, friends and perfect strangers who admired him squeezed into a Palm Mortuary chapel Monday morning to pay their last respects to the movie star who had made Henderson his home and Las Vegas his playground.
