==Norma Jean Mortensen==

She was born in Los Angeles County Hospital, Los Angeles County, California on Jun 1, 1926 to Gladys Pearl Monroe. Who her father was is not clear. Gladys had been married to Martin Edward Mortensen and that is the father listed on Norma's birth certificate, but Martin and Gladys had been seperated for too much time prior to Norma's birth. So either Gladys was still seeing him, even though divorced, or Marilyn's father was someone else.

+

Norma Jean married first to James Dougherty who recently died. Before his death, James wrote a book about his marriage to Marilyn Monroe. While James was away fighting in World War II, Marilyn took a job working at the Radioplane factory. It was here where she was first commercially photographed for an article in YANK article.

She legally changed her name to "Marilyn Monroe".
