Marilyn Monroe Marilyn Monroe was born Norma
Jeane Mortenson to Gladys Baker on June 1, 1926. Shortly after she was born, her mother
suffered a mental breakdown & had to be institutionalized. Marilyn never knew her
father, and was raised in and out of Foster homes most of her life. She married her first
husband, Jim Dougherty when she was just 16. They later divorced so she could pursue
her dream of stardom.
She later married
baseball great Joe DiMaggio, but divorced after 9 months because of "career
differences". Her third, and final marriage, was to playwright Arthur Miller. After
four years & several miscarriages, they too divorced. It's likely, the only man who
truly loved her was Joe. He still will not speak of her to this day. |
