Marilyn Monroe was born as Norma Jean Mortensen  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.
