Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), was an American actress of the 20th century. Her sizzling screen presence and mysterious death at the age of 36 would make her a perennial sex symbol, and later a pop icon.

A Los Angeles native, she was born in the charity ward at 9:30 in Los Angeles County Hospital, and registered as Norma Jeane Mortenson. Her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, later had her baptized Norma Jeane Baker. Biographers used to differ on whether the man listed on her birth certificate, Norwegian-born Martin Edward Mortenson, was not her true biological father. The most likely candidate for a while seemed to be Charles Stanley Gifford, a salesman for the studio where Marilyn's mother, the late Gladys Pearl Monroe Baker Eley, worked as a film-cutter. In later years, more biographers have accepted the theory that Mortenson was in fact her true father.
