Marilyn Monroe was an American actress of the 20th century. Her sizzling screen presence & premature death would make her a perennial sex symbol & later a pop icon. She was born Norma Jeane Mortensen in the charity ward of Los Angeles County Hospital in Los Angeles. Her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, later had her baptized Norma Jeane Baker by Aimee Semple McPherson. While biographers agree the man listed on her birth certificate, Martin Edward Mortensen, was not her biological father, her paternity has never been firmly established. The most likely candidate seems to be Charles Stanley Gifford, a salesman for the studio where Marilyns mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe Baker, worked as a film-cutter. The just-divorced Gifford had no desire to be tied down & left Gladys when she informed him of her pregnancy. Unable to persuade Della to take the baby, an overwhelmed Gladys placed Norma Jeane with Wayne & Ida Bolender of Hawthorne, southwest of Downtown Los Angeles, where she lived until she was seven.
