Clark Gable's Tomb -- Vandalized with a Kiss
Originally posted Jun 6th 2010 12:15 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

Clark Gable's marble tomb at Forest Lawn Cemetery has been so badly damaged it needs a total overhaul -- and it's all because one adoring fan couldn't keep her lips to herself.

TMZ spoke with John Clark Gable -- the famous actor's son -- who tells us he noticed the smooch last month during a visit to the mausoleum.

Gable tells us that the lipstick bandit has struck several times in the past -- but they've always been able to easily wipe off the mark ... that is, until now. This time, the stain is so bad, Forest Lawn had to dispatch their in-house marble repair team to fix the damage.

Gable also noted that his father is entombed in the same mausoleum as Michael Jackson -- and warns that if MJ fans are allowed into the place, they could accidentally damage some of the surrounding tombs.

As for the Lipstick Bandit -- Gable tells us security will "keep an eye out" in case she strikes again.

I thought people are not allowed to get into that Holly Place.

I thought people are not allowed to get into that Holly Place.

Yep, was the first thing I thought as well. So if you are an MJ fan you don't have access, so MJ fans better turn into Clark Gable fans, because they can go into the mausoleum. Easy as that.

Clark Gable is in the Great Mausoleum witch was opened for public viewing...not behind the Holly Terrace :



Here again and here you see Michael Jackson was the only one on Holly Terrace....but Holly Terrace is outside the Mausoleum :shock: every other was placed in any part inside.
And from the others they are written the day ot death...Michael had the 25.June and the 03. September...the only one who has it.

There are not mentioned the Ascension windows and when i surch them i only can find articles with Michael and the Windows....not before the " death" and there and the Holly Terrace and the Marble Tomb arn't emntioned at the official side from Forrest Lawn...i read anywhere that the " fans " they are visiting the place are always the same....is this all a film set ?

Clark Gable's tomb is inside the Great Mausoleum, in the Sanctuary of Trust.

Now take a look at this:

To get to Clark Gable's tomb you need to take entrance B, Memorial terrace, entrance to the Last Supper window.

To get to Mike's alleged tomb you need to take entrance C, Holly Terrace.

I called Forest Lawn last Wednesday because I wanted to know if you could walk around the entire mausoleum if you enter through the Holly Terrace entrance. I was told that that's not possible.

I then specifically asked which entrance has to be taken to get to the tomb of WC Fields which is inside Holly Terrace (Plot: Great Mausoleum, Hall of Inspiration, Columbarium of Nativity).

Hall of Inspiration, which is located at the intersection of the Columbarium of Nativity and Sanctuary of the Nativity, according to what the superintendent of the Mausoleum told me:

The superintendent's answer was: "You can only access WC Fields' tomb through the Holly Terrace entrance".

So, Clark Gable is entombed in the same Mausoleum as where Mike is supposed to be entombed, but in case Holly Terrace (entrance C) would be opened to the public, there's no way one can get to Clark Gable's tomb in Memorial Terrace through the Holly Terrace entrance. Through entrance B ( Memorial Terrace), there's no way to get to Holly Terrace.

The Great Mausoleum is opened for public, but only to access the Memorial Court of Honor, to see The Last Supper Window. Access to the tombs located there is restricted.

Lipstick Bandits - nice design ;)

Hopeless · June 2010

Clark Gable wasn't in the same building. He was near the Last Supper painting in the bigger right building.

I'm just wondering if this kissing Clark Gable's stone or whatever they keep going on about over and over bringing up the dispute from Mr. Gable's relatives about MJ fans....UM is this more than what it seems? Is there something more to this like a hidden message about the hoax inside of all this Gable nonsense, something we are suppose to see or find out...like maybe the MJ crypt is a set or a prop. I've never heard so much run around the rosie block mis guided info on a crypt in my entire life! Elvis was sooooo famous and there was never this sort of just plain goofy hog wash! Come on! We're being toyed with! If they wanted us all banned we would be banned I assure you! And there would be no mistakes about it! Maybe they want us to start poking around the FL perimeter until we figure out exactly what is going on. *ARE WE THERE YET!!!*

I would say that the statement by Clark Gable's grandson "the mausoleum "wouldn't be as sacred" if just anyone could go inside" is ungrounded.

Like I wrote down in my earlier reply to this thread:

Clark Gable is entombed in the same Mausoleum as where Mike is supposed to be entombed, but in case Holly Terrace (entrance C) would be opened to the public, there's no way one can get to Clark Gable's tomb in Memorial Terrace through the Holly Terrace entrance.

That pic of the lipstick mark on Mr Gable's tomb looks like whoever it was tried to give his cold marble a big open mouthed wet one. Very strange and why would it be difficult to remove? Come on TMZ we know MJ is not there and you guys are just stalling.

2good2btrue · June 2010

Any excuse to keep the fans away again. :twisted: :twisted:

Foxello · June 2010

Does anybody else think that the lipstick mark is fake and....dare I say.....printed? :? :? :?

voiceforthesilent · June 2010

Does anybody else think that the lipstick mark is fake and....dare I say.....printed? :? :? :?

Yes. And that mouth print is rather large in my opinion. This is so silly and doesn't make any sense at all. It kind of reminds me of the James Brown story a few months ago and the family came back and said it was a false story. Diversion tactics.

cin_pyt · June 2010

OOH PLZ AND THEY JUST SOO HARD TO MENTION MICHAEL ON THIS ARTICLE. IT JUST HAD TO BE. LET ME SEE NOW THIS IS JUST A DISTRACTION ALSO KEEP THE FANS AWAY YES AS ALWAYS CUS MJ AIN'T THERE!! NOW, WHY WOULD LIPSTICK BE SOO PERMANENT HAHA

RK · June 2010

Look at where the lipstick mark is and there appears to be a face on the marble.

RK · June 2010

Must be time for the padded cell cause that doesn't look like markings in the marble, it appears to be writing that becomes more distorted as it goes further down in lines.
Just adding that I think I see the word comfort at the start of the dark lines in the marble.

Yep.....one wearing sunglasses and singing...LOL.

totally looks like the face is wearing sunglasses.

and i'd like to meet the person whose upper lip shapes into a hat when they pucker up

[Ghost are appearing to recall the Sanctuary of Trust.]

This is MJ's face on the marble.

Reminds me of MJ's eyes on the judge's face when Murray was told "I don't want you sedating any people. Jan 8.

I cannot take these Levinesques serious.
Reminds me of cinnamon donuts with ricotta. Bah.

Vandalized with a Kiss or...Sealed with a Kiss..? ;)

Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer
Baby, I promise you this
I'll send you all my love
Every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
Yes, it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my dreams
Every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll hear your voice everywhere
I'll run to tenderly hold you
But baby, you won't be there

I don't wanna say goodbye for the summer
Knowing the love we'll miss
So let us make a pledge
To meet in September
And seal it with a kiss

Yes, it's gonna be a cold lonely summer
But I'll fill the emptiness
I'll send you all my love
Every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss

Sealed with a kiss
Sealed with a kiss
