Biography of Marilyn Monroe. Childhood. 1926 - 1933.

Name: Marilyn Monroe

Original name: Marilyn Monroe

By the age of twenty-four, Gladys had been married and divorced twice. So she gave birth to Marilyn, being completely free from marital obligations. At this time, she had many affairs and, most likely, it was for this reason that no one ever learned the name of Marilyn’s father.

By the time Marilyn was born, her half-brother and sister had already lived with their father for several years. Marilyn never saw her half-brother; he died at the age of fifteen, and she saw her sister for the first time when she was 12 years old.

From her very birth, Marilyn never knew a happy family life, although throughout her childhood she was supervised, shod, clothed and did not go hungry.

At the age of two weeks, her mother gave her up to the Bolender foster family and only occasionally took her on weekends to go to the beach or take the girl to the cinema.

Until the age of seven, Norma, the name the star bore from birth, lived in a kind of family-type orphanage.

Usually the Borlanders had five or six children at a time, so the star’s childhood was spent in strictness and order. In addition, the Bolenders were very pious, which determined the Puritan way of the family.

Norma’s grandmother, Della, lived in the house opposite the Bolenders. One day Della came to the Bolendars to visit her granddaughter, the door was closed and she, worried, broke the glass to get into the house. The Bolenders returned home and called the police. Based on this incident and another story from Marilyn that Della allegedly tried to suffocate her with a pillow at the age of one, there is an opinion that Monroe's grandmother was crazy.

However, Della’s medical record from the hospital, where she died at the age of 51 from heart failure, does not contain a single record of her insanity; moreover, she never even consulted a neurologist or psychiatrist. So the stories about the generic madness of Marilyn’s family are most likely inventions of reporters with the tacit consent of the star to raise the interest of viewers and readers in the person of Marilyn Monroe. In the key to the madness of the Monroe family, it is enough to remember her great-grandfather, who hanged himself at the age of 82, and her grandfather, who died at the age of 43 with signs of madness.

In order to ignore these cases, it is enough to understand how this happened.

Monroe's grandfather hanged himself after going bankrupt in anticipation of the confiscation of the farm, and his father's insanity was caused by a special syphilis virus, so there was no curse or generic madness.

The only one in the Monroe family who really spent many years in psychiatric hospitals was Monroe’s mother, Gladys, who between treatment in clinics managed to get married again, and in the photographs of 1946 she does not look mentally ill.

Even Monroe herself doubted her mother’s insanity, although she paid for her treatment all her life.

Be that as it may, Marilyn, aka Norma, lived with her mother for only a year.

It was at the age of seven that Gladys took her from the Bolenders, bought a house in installments and sent the girl to school.

At this time, Marilyn's mother led a rather cheerful and dissolute life, changing gentlemen and drinking in the company of her walking friend Gladys.

. "sobriety... of life"

Marilyn Monroe is the legendary sex-appeal of America in the 50s of the last century, who equally drove ordinary workers and presidents crazy. Her film roles, which were never recognized by the Academy (the Hollywood film star was never nominated for an Oscar), are known to the whole world: “The Seven Year Itch” (directed by Billy Wilder), “Bus Stop” (Joshua Logan), “The Prince and the Showgirl” /extra” (Laurence Olivier), “Some like it hot/Only girls in jazz” (Billy Wilder)… The life, work and mysterious death of the most unsurpassed blonde of the era still interests her many fans.

Childhood and family

If there was one Hollywood star who had a childhood that you don't want to remember, it was Marilyn Monroe. Born on June 1, 1926 in an orphanage at a Los Angeles hospital, throughout her life she never found out for certain who her natural father was. The new mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe, named her daughter Norma Jeane, and listed her father as her second husband, Martin Mortenson, whom she left before she even found out about the pregnancy.

In some sources, Gladys’s first husband, John Nathan Baker, is listed as the parent, but by this time the newborn’s mother had long been divorced. At baptism, Norma received his last name. Subsequently, another version of paternity arose, repeatedly voiced by Norma’s mother. She claimed that she gave birth to her from Charles Stanley Gifford, with whom she had a short affair while working at the Consolidated Film company.

But no one took such statements seriously, as Gladys’s hereditary disease began to progress, for which she was increasingly treated in a Norwalk psychiatric hospital. The woman feared for her mental health because she believed that she had inherited the “bad genes” of her father, Otis Monroe. When her father died, her mother, Della Monroe, declared him mentally ill. In fact, the man died due to cerebral syphilis, which he contracted while working in Mexico in unsanitary conditions.

After the death of her husband, Della led a very frivolous life and neglected her parental responsibilities. Gladys inherited a similar attitude towards family life and parenthood. She married her first husband at the age of 14 (he was 26), over the next two years she became a mother twice, but quickly lost interest in both her husband and the children who remained to live with their father.

Gladys moved to Hollywood and got a job at a film studio as an assistant editor, working under the supervision of Grace McKee. They became friends and rented an apartment together. Gladys married Martin Mortenson, who, as mentioned above, is Marilyn's most likely biological father, but after 4 months she filed for divorce and returned to Grace's apartment.

So, on the morning of June 1, 1926, a girl was born who was destined to become the brightest film star of the 20th century. Gladys was not going to take on the heavy burden of motherhood this time either. In those years, it was a common practice in the United States for poor people to send their children to wealthy families. Guardians received social payments from the state, and children grew up warm and well-fed. Della advised Gladys to give the newborn Norma to be raised by the family of Ida and Albert Bolender, who were already raising two relatives and one adopted child.

The Bolenders were not wealthy, but they were not poor either. Receiving $25 a week for Norma, the couple honestly performed their duties as guardians. Gladys sometimes came to the baby, took her for a walk, bought ice cream and returned it to the Bolenders, pious and strict people who forbade any entertainment in their house. More than anything else, Norma looked forward to her mother's visits - she, at least, allowed herself to be called “mom,” unlike the distinctly cold Aunt Ida.

Little Norma's only outlet was a stray dog ​​named Tippy. The Bolenders allowed the girl to keep the pet when she promised that she would take care of it herself. But shortly after Norma's 7th birthday, Tippy was shot and killed by the Bolenders' enraged neighbor because of her loud barking. After this incident, Gladys took Norma to her rented apartment.

It would be naive to believe that this incident will force Gladys to become a good mother. Norma was left to her own devices, went to school, but quickly fell into the category of laggards. Very soon, Gladys lost a large part of her monthly income - her great-grandfather, with whom the woman had a good relationship, died, and the old man regularly sent her money. Gladys’s own salary was tiny, and then her daughter demands to eat... The woman fell into hopeless depression and after several attempts to end her life she was placed in the Cedars of Lebanon psychiatric hospital, from which she never left.

Little Norma was saved from the shelter by Grace McKee, Gladys's friend from the film studio. She obtained guardianship, and a bright streak came in the girl’s life. Grace showered Norma with gifts, bought her beautiful dresses and never tired of repeating how beautiful she was. But the fairy tale came to an end when Grace married Erwin Goddard, and her chosen one brought his daughter from his first marriage into the house. Grace insisted that Norma stay with them, but her new husband earned so little that they could not provide for two children. There was no longer a place for their adopted daughter in their home.

Norma ended up in a shelter. Grace visited her regularly every Saturday. When the girl turned 11, McKee took her from the orphanage. One evening, while Grace was at work, Erwin got drunk and tried to rape Norma. Grace returned just as he crushed the girl with his body and tried to remove her clothes. A scandal broke out, and Norma, whom Grace was jealous of her husband, also suffered. The memory of this incident left the victim with a stutter.

Norma's situation deteriorated sharply. She found a distant relative, Ida Martin, who was the future actress’s great-aunt. Grace, with a light heart, let Norma go to her relatives and even tossed Ida a dollar or two to support the “problem” teenager, because the woman was already raising three grandchildren. But problems really soon appeared: Ida caught Norma having “forbidden pleasures” with another grandson.

This is how Norma ended up in the family of Anna Lower, Grace's aunt. The woman did not have children of her own, so she poured all her unspent love on Norma. Anna was not embarrassed by her ward’s poor academic performance; she believed that it was enough for a girl to learn to read and write, and beauty and charm would certainly help her get settled in life. Norma's passion was cinema - she spent all her pocket money on going to the cinema.

Alas, Anna was seriously ill, and on her 15th birthday, Norma had to return to Grace's family and her rapist husband. This was the end of her misadventures: Erwin ignored his stepdaughter and did not remember the incident, Norma became close to his daughter Bebe, and also began working on eliminating her stuttering, which took her three years.

Youth

Poverty and loneliness, which accompanied the girl from birth, left an imprint on her entire future fate.

Not out of great love, but out of melancholy that settled in her soul, sixteen-year-old Norma accepted the proposal of 20-year-old James (Jim) Dougherty (according to various sources - either an aircraft factory worker or an undertaker), hoping in family life to find the stability and care she so desperately lacked. The new husband gave her neither one nor the other and soon went to sea with the merchant fleet. America was at war, and Norma, never finishing school, got a job at an aircraft plant, mainly because it was close to home.

In 1944, war photographer David Conover came to the plant to shoot a series of inspiring images for a military magazine. And he radically changed the orphan’s gray life.

Struck by the sexual magnetism of the charming “simple girl,” the photographer paid her $5 for an hour of posing. He sent the photographs to modeling agencies, and soon Norma graced the covers of numerous magazines.

1946 brought her her first contract with the film studio 20th Century Fox, a divorce from Dougherty, and a complete change of appearance and name: Norma became Marilyn. From her past life, only her mother’s maiden name remained - Monroe.

Film career

The luxurious platinum blonde with an inimitable smile and alluring gaze starred in her first episodic roles. The films were frankly weak and passable, but the aspiring actress rejoiced at every opportunity to learn acting. Monroe dreamed of playing real, dramatic roles and took private lessons from emigrant Mikhail Chekhov, a Russian actor who had previously served at the Moscow Art Theater. Along the way, she studied at Lee Strasberg's acting studio in New York, and read Russian classics on Chekhov's advice.

Alas, directors mercilessly exploited the image of a dim-witted but attractive sex bomb, and Marilyn starred in “Love Nest” (1951), “Clash in the Night” (1952), “Niagara” (1953). Her role in the films “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “How to Marry a Millionaire” (both filmed in 1953) brought her universal admiration and overwhelming popularity. Against the backdrop of unprecedented success, crowds of fans and daily declarations of love, Marilyn remained internally lonely, fearing disappointment from young Norma.

In 1956, Monroe starred opposite John Murray in the melodramatic comedy Bus Stop and was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for the first time in her acting career. Then the actress worked in the joint British-American project “The Prince and the Showgirl” (1957). Her partner and at the same time the director of the film was Laurence Olivier.

And again Monroe was among the nominees (now at the British Film Academy) as best foreign actress, but... the prize went to Simone Signora. And only after the film “Some Like It Hot/Some Like It Hot”, American film critics finally recognized her as the best comedic actress and in 1960 Marilyn received her first ever cinematic prize – the Golden Globe for her role as Darling.

Monroe still received the very dramatic role that she had dreamed of for so long. The actress played practically herself: a desperate divorced woman, disillusioned with men, traveling with two cowboy friends in the hope of finding work. She starred in the film “The Misfits” (1961) together with the spectacular Montgomery Clift and the still charismatic Clark Gable, for whom this work, like for Marilyn, turned out to be the last in the cinema.

Personal life of Marilyn Monroe

Having avoided serious dates for a long time, in 1954 the actress finally decided to get married a second time. Her chosen one was a Sicilian emigrant, major league baseball player Joe DiMaggio. Narcissistic and himself accustomed to the worship of fans, DiMaggio could not come to terms with the incredible popularity of his wife. The marriage did not last even a year. Joe's destructive jealousy, especially after Monroe's filming in The Seven Year Itch (1955), which everyone remembers from the flowing dress episode, led to an assault scandal and subsequent divorce.

Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch

In 1956, the actress married the playwright and intellectual recognized in America, Arthur Miller, for the third time. Their mutual interest arose much earlier, however, a serious relationship began only when Marilyn divorced DiMaggio, and Miller’s marriage was on its way out. The wedding ceremony was modest, with only relatives and close friends among those invited.

Despite her professional success, some kind of evil fate hung over the most luxurious blonde in America regarding her family life, which failed for the third time. All the men with whom Marilyn Monroe officially decided to connect her fate practically idolized their chosen one before the wedding. As soon as they became husbands, they seemed to forget what kind of woman they were living with and tried with all their might to remake her “for themselves,” to make Marilyn an ordinary earthly woman.

A third divorce in 1961 plunged Marilyn into desperate depression. She failed to create a strong and happy family, which she had dreamed of since childhood. What remains is the cinema, the love of the public, fleeting novels and... alcohol, which she used to wash down her sleeping pills.

Death

On May 29, 1962, America celebrated the 45th birthday of its youngest president, John F. Kennedy. The gala at Madison Square Garden was announced with a stirring “Happy Birthday, Mr. President, Happy Birthday to you.” A beautiful woman from the stage congratulated her beloved and, as she thinks, loving man. Soon her most cherished dream will come true, she will have the most wonderful family, she will become the most unique First Lady of the United States!

Marilyn Monroe - Happy Birthday Mr. President

...Such thoughts and even statements were attributed to Marilyn Monroe, whose charm, sexuality and sincerity even the president of the country could not resist. What actually happened, the direct participants in the drama unfolding in those days will no longer tell. One can only guess what storms raged in the soul of Jacqueline Kennedy, the official wife of the president, what role the president’s brother Robert played in the quick outcome, and what John Kennedy himself was silent about. The cherished dream was not destined to come true anyway.

Two months have passed since my birthday. On August 5, Marilyn's maid called the police because she was unusual in seeing light in her mistress's windows after hours. The police found the actress in the bedroom with a telephone receiver in her hands and recorded her death. In the doctor’s report, which later gave rise to many versions of Marilyn Monroe’s death, it was written: “Probably suicide.” But the personality of the alleged suicide is such that neither journalists nor her fans could believe the official version.

Rumors arose about the involvement of the Kennedy clan in the death of everyone's favorite, as well as the mafia and intelligence services, driving her to suicide by Monroe's personal psychologist. The mysterious death of the actress haunted researchers of all stripes; books were written about her and films were made. At the age of only 36, the talented and beautiful Marilyn Monroe passed away with her last words from an interview with Richard Maryman: “I beg you, don’t make me funny.”

P.S. An Unforgettable Legacy

The image of Marilyn Monroe began to be exploited almost immediately after her death. Thousands of women around the world to this day try to be like her, at least externally, since few people manage to understand the inner world of the actress, even Hollywood imitators, starting with Jayne Mansfield and ending with Scarlett Johansson.

In 2008, documentarian Patrick Jedi created the film “Marilyn Monroe. Last session." The investigation is also carried out in the journalistic documentary film “Evidence from the Past. Marilyn Monroe" (2017). Many artistic films have been created, in one of which, “7 Days and Nights with Marilyn” (2011), the fatal blonde is played by Michelle Williams. For this role, the actress received a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination.
