  • / sgtg77 Born May 27, 1902 -- Passed away on March 11, 1984 Her Maiden name was MONROE. Marilyn wanted to use this name when Fox Changed it! As she wanted to keep a bit of herself in her new name.

      Yes, it really is a tragic story all round. What good did fame do Marilyn? We all took a piece of her, and her cruel neglect through childhood meant she had nothing left for herself. God bless her and her poor mother Gladys. I have no doubt they both suffered terribly.

    1:12 the resemblance is there. But Norma Jean really looked like her father, Stanley Gifford. Her mother always looks pinched and can't smile. Though he treated her cruelly, Gifford had the facial structure and big warm smile that we know in MM. There are at least two photos of him online. His genes happened to mix beautifully with Gladys Monroe's. Their kid, whom we all know and love, did great things. And all by herself.

    2:26 Haunting to see this, Marilyn has her mother's bone structure and is so like her but this picture reveals she has her mother's exact same ears. I notice it from the terrible autopsy photo that was taken of Marilyn's face in profile, her skin mottled, her hair swept back from her face and her ear exposed. It is identical to her mother's ear in this picture. Quite uncanny - and brings home the tragedy that unlike her mother, Marilyn would never see old age.
    I wonder how often the media tried to get pictures and interviews with Gladys? She died in 1984, and interest in her daughter was fierce from her death in 1962 to her mother's death. I wonder how bad her mother's mental illness was - did she even realise her late daughter was a legendary movie star? No doubt she was protected from press attention and prying eyes as a vulnerable old lady.
    If only she could have loved Marilyn unconditionally and given her the secure home life she missed out on. Her cruelty and neglect - regardless that it was unintentional - scarred Marilyn for life, and is no doubt the reason she lived only half of her life.

    The foster home Marilyn Monroe was in briefly as a child told her her mother was dead instead of telling the truth that she was in a mental facility. No wonder Marilyn Monroe had such trust issues. Everyone lied to her.

      That's totally wrong.. She spent time with her Mother throughout her childhood and even after she became famous she would visit Her Mother..
      But due to Her Mothers illness Her Mother couldn't give her the care she really needed so she was bounced from foster care and homes.. But saying she never saw her mother is a lie

      @JudgeJulieLit 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Born Gladys Pearl Monroe, daughter of a mother Della Hogan and a father of Scots ancestry, Gladys was mostly Anglo American, but also Irish Scots and Welsh, with an Owen forebearer. While she listed her first husband, Norwegian American Edward Martin Mortenson, on Marilyn's birth certificate as the father, she told Marilyn as an adult that Marilyn's real biological father was Charles Stanley Gifford. While Gifford's ancestry includes Irish and French genes, his pedigree goes back to the 1620 Mayflower passenger John Alden (a near great grandfather of second US President John Adams), and 1630s Great Migration English settlers in Massachusetts such as John Peabody and Isabella Harper (also my ancestors), whose descendants include the Peabody sisters of Salem, Endicott Peabody, Orson Welles and Peter Lawford~~but apparently Marilyn and Peter were not aware of their 8th or so cousinship). ethnicelebs.com/marilyn-monroe. A pity that Marilyn, not knowing her patrilineage, supposed herself just an illegitimate foster and orphanage child.

      Her mother had schizophrenia spent 90% of adult life in a mental health facility that Marilyn paid for . No one was sure who her father was. The married man it could possibly have been refused to speak to Marilyn when she looked him up in her 20's. He was called Gifford. (Can't remember first name).

    • @JudgeJulieLit
      @JudgeJulieLit 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The family group photo at 0:43 looks about 1929 to 1930, so the little girl may be Norma Jeane at age 3 to 4. My guess is that the hatted lady on the right is Gladys.
      In the 1940s, Gladys was institutionalized.
