Memorial services were held June 2, 1986 at Church of the Recessional at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale. Her Sam Spade co-star Howard Duff, who delivered her eulogy, remembered Tuttle: She could just take hold of a part and do something with it...I think she never met a part she didn't like. She just loved to work; she loved to act. She's a woman who was born to do what she was doing and loved every minute of it. Filmography Stand Up and Cheer!
