 * Marilyn Monroe´s Early Life**

Marilyn Monroe whose real name was actually Norma Jean Baker, was born the 1st of July 1926 in Los Angeles. Her parents were Edward Mortensen and Gladys Baker. Her father abandoned her mother before she was born. For this reason her mother gave her to a family friend to raise her until Monroe´s 7th birthday where Gladys recuperated her and started living with her. Her mother was then sent to a mental hospital after suffering a nerve collapse and severe schizophrenia, traits that Marilyn inherited later, mostly when feeling anxiety for drugs. Monroe lived most part of her infancy in an orphanage were she worked in the kitchen and in the houses of many families that adopted her, in one of this houses she suffered sexual abuses from her “father.”( [|IMDb], 1990-2010)

She dropped out of collage and at the age of 19, and started working in an airplane factory where she met James Daugherty, a 21 year old mechanic which she married on July 18( [|IMDb], 1990-2010) “ Norma Jeane divorced Jimmy in June of 1946, and signed her first studio contract with Twentieth Century Fox on August 26, 1946. She earned $125 a week. Soon after, Norma Jeane dyed her hair blond and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe (borrowing her grandmother's last name).”(Monroe, LLC Site, 2006)

(According to [|A&E Television Networks] ) After many years Marilyn married Joe DiMaggio, a baseball superstar, her marriage failed. With these love failures, she tried to give another impression rather than the one of a pretty face. She had constant problems with intellectual meanings, probably because of dropping collage at early age. In 1955 she joined the prestigious Actors Studio in New York, to take class lessons with Lee Strasberg. Strasberg pressured her to assist psychoanalysis with the goal of getting to know herself. He was a very important person in her life; because he opened many doors that helped her become a better professional.
