Marilyn Monroe
In 1956 Norma went to the City Court of New York and legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn was sexually abused by her step-father at a young age. She was almost smothered to death at 2. She was raped at 11.
She got married to a guy named James Dougherty in 1942 to get her out of foster care, but they got divorced in 1946. When she got married the first time she dropped out of school.
Monroe spent half of her time in foster care or in orphanage homes.
Her mom Gladys Pearl really didn't know Marilyn's biological father. So Marilyn was raised by a family friend Grace McKee.
