On her birth certificate, Gladys named "Martin Mortensen" as the father. It's possible she did this only so it wouldn't appear that she was sleeping around. Some biographers claim that a Stanley Gifford was Marilyn's father. But it's also possible that Gladys really did continue to have sex with Martin and that he really is Marilyn's father. If so, Marilyn would be similar to [[Jodie Foster]] in this regard. Jodie's parents were also seperated, but she was also conceived by her legal father. |
Martin died Feb 10, 1981 in Riverside County, California. One news report of this appears in the New York Times. | Martin died Feb 10, 1981 in Riverside County, California. One news report of this appears in the New York Times. | ||
