By 1917, Martin was a gas fitter working for LA Gas and Electric Company.  He married Gladys Pearl Monroe on 11 Oct 1924, she left him six months later, but they were not officially divorced until 1 Jun 1927.  Mona Miracle (see [http://www.monaraemiracle.com/work1.htm her website]) reports that on the marriage certificate Martin lists his occupation as "meterman" and his status as "divorced", so Gladys must have been his second wife.

When Gladys became pregnant, she had supposedly been dating various men and so there is some uncertainty about exactly who Marilyn's father was.  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 for some time, but she was also conceived by her legal father.
