Here's a recap of Tony Curtis's funeral from the Las Vegas paper:

"He'd have loved it -- especially the part where Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed his private parts (favorably).

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.

Curtis died Sept. 29 after suffering cardiac arrest.

The California governor was joined by the star's widow, Jill Vandenberg Curtis, and his actress daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, in speaking to the audience -- and audience, as in a movie audience, is the correct word in a memorial that included film clips of Curtis' storied career, from the depths ("Son of Ali Baba") to the heights ("Some Like It Hot").

Also in attendance were celebrity pals including impressionist Rich Little; comic Steve Rossi; Robert Goulet's widow, Vera; and Luxor casino executive Gene Kilroy, who served as a pallbearer, along with the Review-Journal's Norm Clarke.

A Navy honor guard accompanied Curtis' American flag-draped coffin into the chapel.

Recalling meeting Curtis at a 1976 dinner, Schwarzenegger said that as he was having trouble gaining traction in his career, Curtis encouraged him, declaring: "They're all full of crap. You're gonna make it." Later in his entertaining eulogy, the California governor broke up the crowd, noting how Curtis had the courage to pose nude for Vanity Fair magazine to celebrate his 80th birthday. "Who has the guts to have a naked photo taken at age 80 standing at the swimming pool naked," he said. "Normally men have a fig leaf to cover their private parts, but Tony's private parts were so big he had two dogs covering them!"

Pronouncing both Schwarzenegger and her father tough acts to follow, Jamie Lee Curtis (who co-starred with Schwarzenegger in "True Lies") had a good time imitating her dad's unique Bronx rumble of a voice. Appearing in sunglasses, her eulogy was often funny, as when she said of her father: "He was life. A little meshuggah (Yiddish for "crazy"), but he was life."

Choking up near the end as she referred to his family, she added: "We're all evidence of him. We walk the walk he led."

As the final speaker, Jill Curtis also quoted her husband to the delight of the audience, mentioning that when Tony was asked if it was dangerous to marry a much younger woman like her, he quipped: "Well, if she dies, she dies."

The actor's wife also enumerated the long list of items Curtis had been buried with, including the white shorts, white sweater, Armani scarf and white Stetson he preferred wearing around town, as well as his favored driving gloves, a yarmulke (Jewish skullcap) from a Hungarian synagogue, a DVD of his film clips, a poem he wrote to his dog, Bronx, paintbrushes, a fencing saber, and seven packs of Splenda -- exactly the number he used for his sweet tooth.

Said Jill Curtis: "Thank you sweetheart, for taking me on the ride of a lifetime."
