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.

So either Gladys was still seeing him, even though divorced, or Marilyn's father was someone else. | She was born in Los Angeles County Hospital, Los Angeles County, California on Jun 1, 1926 to Gladys Pearl Monroe.
