CHILDHOOD

CHILDHOOD

Marilyn Monroe,

was born on 1st June, 1926 at the Country Hospital in Los Angeles. Her childhood was not exactly beautiful in fact there were never any certain information of the identity of her father and her mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, was mentally unstable and she wasn't financially able to take care of her daughter. When she was just seven, her mother was hospitalized after being diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. As the years went, Marilyn Monroe had to move to a series of foster homes and at the age of sixteen she made the decision to get married.

LIFE

She married James Dougherty on 19th June, 1942. In 1943, when Dougherty enlisted in the Marines, the marriage ended. The vicissitudes of her childhood and the end of the marriage have made Norma Jean a woman with a strong character, but at the same time these experiences have led to increasing some sides of her character such as her insecurity.

Gladys was mentally unstable and financially unable to care for her daughter; failing to convince her mother Della to take care of the child, she decided to entrust Norma Jeane to Wayne and Ida Bolende, a couple who took care of foster children for money, with whom Norma Jeane lived until the age of seven. In her autobiography, Marilyn said that she was convinced they were her parents until Ida sharply corrected her, stating that she shouldn't call her "mother" and that she would meet the real one the next day

The song in question is the very sensual I Wanna Be Loved by You.In Gentlemen Prefer Blondes from 1953, among the many iconic scenes of that film there is also the musical interlude on the notes of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.

Marilyn Monroe was found dead on August 5, 1962, at the age of thirty-six, in the bedroom of her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles. Even today, almost sixty years later, there is talk of suicide but there is no certain proof of what happened. It is said that her death could even have to do with the scandal of the relationship with the Kennedy brothers or that it was a settling of accounts with the mafia.

...

Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You would't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my godness, doesn't it help?
