Clark Gable's Tomb Vandalized By A Kiss

(NewsCore) - The tomb of silver screen star Clark Gable was vandalized by an adoring bandit who left her mark with lipstick -- causing a repair team to be called to clean it, TMZ reported Sunday.

Gable, who is entombed in a mausoleum at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif. -- also the final resting place of Walt Disney, Michael Jackson and a host of other celebrities -- is regularly sought after by female fans, and traces of lipstick are occasionally spotted by the actor's son John Clark Gable.

Although most previous marks were easily wiped away, the latest one stubbornly stuck, forcing a "total overhaul" of the white marble monument by a repair team.

John Clark Gable also warned against letting Jackson fans into the mausoleum -- claiming that if they came inside, their tributes could damage surrounding memorials, including his father's.

He said he asked security to "keep an eye out" for the lipstick bandit's return.
