She has a family genetic history, and her grandparents and mother died in a mental hospital. And she hasn't even lived to be 40 years old.
Marilyn Monroe , this woman who is considered a "sexy" symbol, died, the media rushed to report: Marilyn was naked when she died.
1 bibfather unknown
Norma Jane Baker , born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles General Hospital, California.
She was born here because her mother, Gladys Baker Mortson, worked as a film editor in the processing lab of the Hollywood studio.
Norma Jane Baker
Although her birth certificate shows that her father is Gladys' second husband, Edward Mortson, in fact, the couple had been separated long before Gladys became pregnant with Norma. It is obvious that Mortson is not Norma's father. Most biographers believe that Gladys’ former colleague , Charles Stanley Gifford, is the father of this child. When he was a child, Norma even saw a photo of a man at home. He looked handsome and had two beards, and looked a bit like " Hollywood Emperor" Clark Gable . The young Norma didn't know the truth. She had a period of fantasy that her father was Gab , and she would tell her classmates seriously that she was the daughter of a famous movie star.
Charles Stanley Gifford (first right)
However, when Mr. Gifford learned that Gladys was pregnant, he quit his job and disappeared. In 1929, Mr. Mortson died in a motorcycle accident, and no man in Norma's young life had ever appeared.

Many years later, when Norma had changed its name to Marilyn Monroe, she had tried to contact Gifford. Monroe Inquired that the old man at this time moved to a small dairy farm near Hermit, California, and she drove over more than once. Every time I parked my car not far from the farm and walked over alone. The result is, there is no result.
There was a hint of sadness on her beautiful face, and then told her partner Mr. Gifford refused to see her. But no one knows whether she had knocked on the door or talked to Gifford, and no one could even confirm whether Gifford was Monroe's father.
Nomah Jane Baker
It is hard to say what a father means in a girl’s growth process, but Monroe has never known her father. When filling out the form, she could only write two words under the column marked with her father: Unknown!
I think for anyone, it is a wound that cannot be healed in his life.
2 family genetic history
Norma's grandfather, Audis Monroe , of course this is a transliteration, Monroe, it depends on whether you want to translate it into Monroe or Monroe. When I was young, Audis was an automotive engineer. When he was old, he suddenly became confused. He always thought that he was the descendant of President James Monroe ; grandmother Dela had intermittent mental problems , and it was fine if he didn't have an attack, but he didn't know relatives and friends at all when he attacked. As for , Norma's uncle Marion Monroe was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia at a very young age; while , Norma's mother , Gladys was unable to escape the family curse. She is likely to suffer from bipolar disorder, and the doctor also found some signs of schizophrenia on her body.
Monroe (bottom right), Gladys (top right)
When Norma became Monroe, she was always troubled by hereditary insanity. Whether it is bipolar disorder or schizophrenia , they may be inherited. Although this does not mean that Monroe must have inherited these problems, it cannot stop her from having a pathological fear of it.
People laughed at her for taking the medication overdose, but no one saw her worry.
Norma Jane Baker
After Norma was born 2 days after , her mother Gladys had to foster the child at the Bolands home. She has financial difficulties and she has no money to support herself and her children if she doesn't work. So Gladys paid the Bolander couple $5 a week, asked them to take care of their daughter, and returned to work in Hollywood studios.
Norma Jane Baker
Borland couple is very religious to religion. They took Little Norma to church and did not allow her to sing, dance or perform because these are not what serious girls should do. Grandma Dela often came to visit Norma before she was two years old, but after that, she was completely mentally broken and was taken to Metropolitan State Hospital in Norwalk, Los Angeles. He died a month later.
The bad winter has passed, and Norma and his mother Gladys' luck seems to have improved a little bit. Gladys saved some money, rented a bungalow near Hollywood Amphitheater , and then took 6-year-old Norma to his side. Little Norma left Boland's house like a bird with wings. The atmosphere here is much better than that of Boland's house. She can sing freely, dance in the yard, and sneak into the surrounding cinema to watch movies.
Norma and her mother Gladys
However, the reunion between Gladys and Norma is too short. Gladys's emotions were depressed day by day, and suddenly one morning, she completely lost control and was sent to Los Angeles General Hospital. After diagnosis by the doctor, he was sent to the Metropolitan State Hospital, the hospital where Norma's grandmother died. ·
Poor Norma lives in a neighbor's house. A colleague of Gladys once suggested that she wanted to adopt her legally, but Gladys refused. She appointed her friend Grace McGee as the legal guardian of the little girl, but Grace's family was not wealthy. After raising her for more than a year, she had to send Norma to the orphan home in Los Angeles.
Young Norma Jane Baker
In an interview in 1962, Monroe talked about her memories of the orphanage: "I started crying, 'Please, please don't let me in. I'm not an orphan, my mother is not dead. I'm not an orphan, she can't take care of me when she's sick, please don't let me live in an orphanage.' "
However, Norma did not have the right to choose, and she became a part of the orphanage.
3 Reasons for marriage
years later, Grace took Norma out of the orphanage. She originally planned to raise the child herself, but because of her family, she had to send Norma into a foster care family. The little girl just left the wolf's den and went into the tiger's mouth. These foster families took money from the government and raised many children at home, both men and women. Norma lived in a foster family in a very painful life. According to Monroe years later, she was harassed many times during her time in a foster family. When she told her "adoptional mother" what happened, her adoptive mother refused to believe her, but instead said that Norma was a lie and sent her to other foster care families.
Young Norma Jane Baker
Norma felt very painful, and she said to Grace who came to visit her: "Please send me back to the orphanage!" Grace was in pain by the little girl's tears. Her family was not well financially. Her husband had three children in his last marriage, and she had no conditions to adopt Norma.Fortunately, Grace's aunt, Aunt Anna, took in the girl after learning about Norma's story. She gave Norma a peaceful and normal life.
After getting rid of the displaced foster care life, Norma, who has a good meal and a warm clothing, sprouts like a small sapling. After entering puberty, she grew taller and her figure gradually became fuller. The beautiful Norma caused a sensation among the boys in the school. She finally stopped being an ugly duckling, but a beautiful white swan.
Norma married James
941 When Norma was 15 years old, Grace's husband got a new job with a higher position and a higher salary, but asked them to move to West Virginia. Norma could not move with them, and Aunt Anna was too old to take care of her. Norma will face a choice: 1. Go back to the orphanage; 2. Find a boy to get married.
At this time, a suitable candidate came to everyone's mind, James Azell Doherty , living in the same neighborhood with Grace's family, young and tall, and also has a good job at Lockheed Airways. Norma has a good impression of James, but she doesn't like him very much, but does she have any other choice at this time?
Norma dated James and their friend
several times. On June 19, 1942, Norma married James , and it was still three weeks away from Norma's 16th birthday.
4 Marriage and career
In the first year of marriage, James spent a lot of effort to please Norma. He took his wife to watch movies or dance, and took her to Lake Sherwood fishing, which was quite a worry-free life. In 1943, in the middle of the World War II , James followed the company's merchant fleet overseas, and Norma had to move to live with James' parents and began working in the radio company in Burbank.
Norma and her first husband James
Several months later, Army photographer David Connover was ordered to visit the factory and his camera found a beauty. Even wearing the company's fat and rustic work clothes, it looks very charming. Connover invited Norma to be a model, and this photo was published on the cover by Yank magazine. In this way, Norma started her modeling career by chance.
As a free model, Norma can get 5 US dollars per hour, which is a lot of pocket money for her. And she seems to be born to pose in front of the camera, which seems to be a gift, "There is something in her eyes that touches and fascinates me", David Connover believes that this is the reason he chose Norma.
Norma Jane Baker
Norma found confidence in front of the camera, but her job was considered "inappropriate" by James' mother. James' mother suggested that Norma ask her husband for advice when she started her modeling career, but Norma refused to have no time. Due to the huge differences with my in-laws' family, Norma moved back to Aunt Anna's house to live temporarily. When James returned home during the Christmas holiday, Norma had quit his job as a full-time model.
Norma Jane Baker
The couple had a big dispute. Norma firmly wanted to pursue a career, but James believed that he could provide Norma with a safe and stable life without her having to go out to work. When the bird has seen the vast sky, how can it be willing to return to the cage? A few weeks after James left the holiday, he received a letter from a lawyer, Norma said she had moved to Nedahua and filed for divorce.
Marilyn Monroe
Finally, James reluctantly signed the divorce documents, and Norma disappeared from his life. Meanwhile, Twentieth Century Fox signed a contract with a young actress named Marilyn Monroe.
Norma officially changed its name to Marilyn Monroe and made its mark in Hollywood.
5 silly white sweet pretty girl
Hollywood executives have been looking for fresh blood, Star Scout searching for beauty like a hound, when Howard Hughes saw Norma's magazine cover, this pretty girl caught his attention. The rumors that Howard is interested in Norma are used by Norma's agents to attract the attention of film studios. Sure enough, Twentieth Century Fox took the bait and they gave her a one-year contract of $125 a week. And I gave Norma a suggestion: You need a catchy stage name, Norma Jane Baker, this name has no "star flavor".
Marilyn Monroe
So Norma chose her mother's surname: Monroe, and then the agent Lyon chose the name Marilyn for her. It is said that double M is a sign of luck. In this way, on a sunny afternoon, Marilyn Monroe was "born".
has a new name and a new contract. Monroe is inevitably full of yearning for future life, but, in the first year of Fox, she did not appear in any movies and did not renew her contract.
Marilyn Monroe
From 1948 to 1950, Monroe was wandering in a small role with one or two lines. It was not until she was elected as Miss Charming in Stars and Stripes that Fox changed the temporary contract to a 7-year long-term contract.
Marilyn Monroe
For many years, Monroe has been unconfident in her performance and is very sensitive to criticism of others. She couldn't understand why it was so much more difficult to work in front of a dynamic camera than in front of a still camera. As her role becomes more important, the films she participates in are getting higher and higher, and her anxiety is getting stronger day by day. She always asks for a reshoot because Monroe feels that there is something wrong with her performance, and her anxiety also affects the actors she works with.
Marilyn Monroe
She performed very well in the romantic comedy " Wish to marry a rich son-in-law ", but the critics did not give her a positive comment. They think Monroe is a pretentious actor, and Monroe is once again hit. This already sensitive girl kept reflecting on herself, is she really not capable of acting?
Marilyn Monroe
In 1954, the western adventure film "The River Goes East" starring Monroe was released. For this movie, Monroe broke her usual image and sprained her ankle during filming. But the box office of the movie was cold, and critics pointed at her performance and gave Monroe a heavy blow. She was wondering if she was only suitable to play the silly and sweet sexy girl? Those varied characters with layers seem to be not that suitable for you.

When a person draws a circle for himself, she can only move in the circle.
6 Indissoluble marriage
954 On January 14, 2019, Marilyn married Jo DiMaggio .
Monro and DiMaggio
Joe DiMaggio, a descendant of Italian, has been selected as All-Stars 12 times, won the Baseball League championship 9 times, and was elected as MVP 3 times. He is the first baseball player in history to be worth over one million. In the history of American professional baseball, Joe DiMaggio is a household name and his popularity is not inferior to Monroe.
Joe DiMaggio
951, the professional baseball star retired. He is an introverted and silent boy who always likes Monroe, but he did not find a friend to invite Marilyn Monroe to dinner for him until he retired. To be honest, Monroe didn't expect much from this dinner. Because of her wandering life when she was young, Monroe didn't read much, but she liked reading and scholars.So she usually treats DiMaggio's dinner invitation. However, she unexpectedly discovered during dinner that DiMaggio was a gentle and restrained young man, very gentlemanly, completely different from the athlete she imagined.
Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio
Monroe and DiMaggio
Naturally began to fall in love. After a period of long-distance relationship, in early 1954, Monroe and DiMaggio got married at San Francisco City Hall.
Life after marriage seems to repeat the mistakes of the first marriage. Before marriage, a man loves you and likes you to shine brightly in front of the screen, but after marriage, he hopes that his wife can return to the family and be a housewife. DiMaggio wanted to know Monroe because of her sexy charm, but after marriage, she hated her wife's "sexy" and wanted her to do housework like a "virtuous and kind" woman. Monroe's strong career aspirations and DiMaggio's possessiveness have made the relationship between them increasingly tense.
Marilyn Monroe
954 When DiMaggio watched the famous subway plot filmed by Monroe for " Seven Years Itch ", when he saw his wife's skirt raised high and even her underwear was visible, DiMaggio left the scene with a dark face. That night, the couple broke out in a fierce quarrel, and the next day the makeup artist saw blue and purple scars on Monroe's back.
Dimagio and his wife began to have a cold war and separated. Monroe is determined to divorce Joe DiMaggio. This fairy-tale marriage between the golden boy and the jade girl only lasted for 9 months.
Monro and DiMaggio
The third marriage was Monroe's old acquaintance Pulitzer Prize winner playwright Arthur Miller. The two have been working together since 1951. Miller is the kind of scholar Monroe likes. When Monroe divorced DiMaggio, she fell into Miller's arms, even though Miller was 20 years older than her.

Only this marriage Monroe did not report the heart of holding a group to keep warm. She managed her relationship very seriously and moved to Miller's ranch in Roxbury, Connecticut to settle down. However, Monroe needs a lot of feelings, she needs her husband to love her with all his strength. Miller is already a rational middle-aged man, and he finds his wife's idea ridiculous.
Monroe worked hard to run this marriage. After marrying Miller, Monroe has been working hard to "create people". Unfortunately, she seems to be unable to get pregnant until she gives birth in full term. Monroe suffered from endometriosis . Between September 1956 and December 1958, she suffered two miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy .
Monro and Miller
Monro cannot understand his wife's pain. He always believed that Monroe could not control his emotions and was a person without self-control. Monroe was with alcohol and medicine all year round, and these things were enough to ruin their marriage.
Miller's evaluation of Monroe is: "She is a very sensitive woman. She has always been an exciting existence until she started to self-destruct."
Marilyn Monroe
years after marriage, Monroe divorced Miller.
7 Struggle for life
From grandparents to mothers, Monroe's family is a mental hospital in the end.
Marilyn Monroe
Sadly, childhood Monroe saw her mother in and out of the mental hospital. The mother who has not had any illness is gentle and friendly, and once she gets sick, she looks like she has become a different person. The doctor said that my mother suffered from schizophrenia, which was hereditary.
Marilyn Monroe
Monroe has been deeply trapped in fear. She once complained to the performance teacher during the shooting that there was always a noise outside the door, but only Monroe heard the noise. She had also fallen in the apartment with sleeping pills stuffed in her mouth, but Monroe refused to admit that she had tried to commit suicide. This situation occurred repeatedly in the days that followed. She had insomnia and asked the doctor to prescribe her a sedative, then threw the pills into champagne and drank it...
Marilyn Monroe
957, when Monroe was filming " Dragon and Phoenix " in the UK, she found Miller complaining in her diary, saying that he was disappointed with their marriage. Monroe was heartbroken and had to stop shooting and fly back to New York to meet with a psychiatrist. She wrote in her diary: "On the dark screen, the shape of the monster appears. My most determined companion... The world is sleeping, I need you - even a quiet monster."
Marilyn Monroe
After Monroe and Miller publicly announced their separation, she complained to the doctor about the endless voices on the set, saying that she could not fall asleep. The doctor had to prescribe her three times the maximum dose of pentobarbital to treat insomnia.
After the two officially divorced, Monroe entered Payne Whitney Mental Hospital in New York for treatment. She was there to write a letter to her psychiatrist: "When I looked out the window of the hospital, everything there was covered with snow. But in an instant, everything turned green... Although the trees gave me a little hope, the bare branches indicate that there might be spring, and maybe they indicate hope..."

Although every word is hope, it breeds the deepest despair.
Marilyn's makeup artist Allen "White" Snyder revealed that Monroe's depression made it difficult for her to get up and they needed to dig her out of the bed, otherwise she wouldn't want to go out. Monroe was capricious, sometimes hyper and sometimes depression on set, and the company believed she had a serious emotional disorder, and they fired her in June 1962.
Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her Brydenwood apartment in Los Angeles on August 5, 1962, with an empty bottle of sleeping pills around her. There were several medicines on the cabinet at the head of the bed. The coroner concluded that she died of overdose of barbiturates, which may have committed suicide.
People refuse to accept that this is the truth of Monroe's death, because she once had to say the secret feelings that had to be said with her brothers Kennedy . More people think she died in the Kennedy family conspiracy. It is generally believed that Monroe used some of the secrets of the Kennedy brothers to threaten the President of John Kennedy to marry her, and was eventually killed by a cruel lover.
Marilyn Monroe
However, the testimony of the witnesses is contradictory. Some say that Monroe's depression is terminally ill, and some say that she is in good spirits before her death; some say that she is trying to reshape her image, but others say that she is not willing to get up from the bed at all... In this way, the death of this peerless beauty becomes an unknown event, adding a mystery to her beauty and sexiness.
Marilyn Monroe
Joe DiMaggio presided over Monroe's funeral and invited only a few relatives and friends to attend. And Arthur Miller did not show up at Monroe's funeral.
Marilyn Monroe
There is no evidence whether Monroe is President Kennedy's lover. But the song "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" she sang at Kennedy's birthday party is real. She was wearing a colorful evening dress, which was gently pressed against her perfect figure, her eyes were as charming as silk, her voice was dull and her lifelike. This is the impression she left on the world. Although she has always emphasized that she wants to read more books and wants everyone to understand her soul, almost everyone lingers on her perfect body and no one will understand her heart. Even her talented third husband, Arthur Miller, only felt that she was a ship that was about to lose control, and the more beautiful she was.
Marilyn Monroe
Monroe was less than 36 years old when she died. Her life's tragedy is that she has lived in the shadow of illness since she was a child, and her fragile entanglement of her whole life; her displaced life, boarding and orphanage experiences have made her become a complex pleasing personality. She knows her strengths and uses her strengths to please the audience, but she hopes that someone can understand her lonely soul; she wants love and a stable life, but drug use, alcoholism, extramarital affairs, these unstable factors ruined her marriage...
