The birthname of Marilyn Monroe is Norma Jeane Mortenson. She was born on June 1, 1926 at Los Angeles General Hospital with Gladys Baker as her mother. |
Norma Jeane Mortenson was baptized and became Norma
Jeane Baker. Her mother, Gladys Baker, claimed that her father was Stanley
Clifford. When she went to visit her "father", he refused to talk to
her. "All I really wanted from him was to let me call him father,"
Marilyn Monroe said when she was being interviewed by a photographer and old
friend.
Norma Jeane never really had a father. In fact, she spent most of her
childhood in foster homes and orphanages. She could not live with her mother
because she had a mental problem and had to stay in a hospital.
| Shortly after Norma Jeane signed a contract with Twentieth-Century Fox, she became known as Marilyn Monroe. She was known as Marilyn Monroe several years before she legally became the one and only legendary Marilyn Monroe. |
