By 1955, Marilyn, who had divorced her her first husband, had starred in movies like Niagara, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and her biggest box office success of her career, The Seven Year Itch. It didn’t take long for her career to take off. (Marilyn never knew her father, though a 2022 test revealed that her biological father was Charles Stanley Gifford, her mother’s co-worker whom she had an affair with in 1925.) Marilyn moved from home to home throughout her childhood until her marriage to her first husband, James Dougherty, when she was 16 years old.Īround that time, Marilyn also started modeling and acting. Her mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, placed her into the foster care system when she was a child. Marilyn was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. Marilyn, whose real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson, had been married three times before her death on August 4, 1962. As one of the most famous women in the world, there’s been interest in Marilyn Monroe’s husbands-and why her marriages ended-for years.
