| − | Gladys next married to Martin Edward Mortensen (b 1897) on 11 Oct 1924, but seperated from him after several months, moving in with her good friend and co-worker Grace Atchison McKee, a divorced woman. When Norma Jean was young, her mother, working in the film industry, had made enough money to afford a down-payment on a house. They only lived there for a few months when Gladys apparently had some kind of psychotic episode. She was committed to a psychiatric hospital, and Grace was made both guardian of Norma Jean and custodian of Glady's estate. The house and furnishings were sold off except for a piano which was held for Norma by Grace's aunt Ana. Norma also lived off-and-on with Grace and in a few foster homes. | + | Gladys next married to Martin Edward Mortensen (b 1897) on 11 Oct 1924 in Los Angeles, but seperated from him after several months, moving in with her good friend and co-worker Grace Atchison McKee, a divorced woman.
