Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker.
As the identity of her father is undetermined, she was later baptized Norma Jeane Baker.
On June 19, 1942 she wed Jimmy Dougherty.
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 blonde and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe (borrowing her grandmother's last name).
The rest, as the saying goes, is history.
