             Known as the Blond Bombshell and has the
             raging sex icon, Monroe was the women who
             personified Hollywood glamour. Born of the name
             Norma Jean Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los
             Angeles, California. Then soon baptized to Norma
             Jeane Backer. Her mothers name was Gladys and
             was practically dirt poor. Gladys spent most of her
             life in mental hospitals, so Norma would have to live
             with foster families. Norma would have stayed with
             her father Edward Mortenson, but he was not the
             right one to look after her, thought her mother.
             Since her mother was always in and out of hospitals,
             Norma would be in and out of foster homes. Her life
             wouldn't seem to be the life of an upcoming movie
             star. At age eight Norma was raped. In 1935 at age
             nine she stayed in an orphanage until June of 1937,
             the longest she had ever stayed anywhere.
             Dying to have a better life, she thought that
             marriage would help that. So on June 19, 1942 at 16
             she wed Jimmy Dougherty. Norma dropped out of
             high school, which wasn't uncommon at this time.
             She began working at a aircraft production plant.
             Within that next year she tried to commit suicide.
             Jim entered the military so Norma decided to bleach
             out her hair and begin to model. Unfortunately the
             marriage was more of holding her down from what
             she thought she could be in Hollywood, so the two
             divorced in June of 1946. At the same time Norma
             was named to a top agency. Her pictures caught the
             eyes of famous Howard Hughes, he scheduled her to a
             screen test at RKO, but 20th Century-Fox beat him
             there, they had already got here on the payroll, for
             $125 a week. Soon after legally changing her name
             to Marilyn Monroe. Monroe came from her
             Grandmother's last name and Marilyn was from the
             famous actress Marilyn Miller, who Monroe adored.
             Hollywood wasn't treating her like a movie star,
             all she would be stuck with where these throw away
             parts...
