Q. What was Marilyn Monroe's family life like?
A. Marilyn Monroe's family life wasn't so good... she was born to Gladys Baker as Norma Jeane Mortenson. Her father's identity is undetermined. Her mother had been a film cutter at RKO studios but psychological problems prevented her from keeping the job and she was eventually committed to a mental institution. Norma Jeane spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937, when a friend took her in for four years but couldn't afford to keep her so she married Jimmy Dougherty.
