Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson. June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), was a Golden Globe award winning. American actress, model, Hollywood icon,[3] and sex symbol. She was known for her comedic skills and screen presence. Monroe became one of the most popular movie stars of the 1950s and early 1960s. During the later stages of her career, she worked towards serious roles and her fame surpassed that of any other entertainer of her time. Her premature death was classified as a "probable suicide. Many individuals including Jack Clemmons, the first LAPD Police officer to arrive at the death scene believed that she was murdered. She is the only woman on the Forbes top earning dead celebrities list. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in the charity ward of the Los Angeles County Hospital. According to biographer Fred Lawrence Guiles, her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, had her baptized Norma Jeane Baker by Aimee Semple McPherson. Although she took a stagename of Marilyn Monroe in 1946, she did not legally change her name to Marilyn Monroe until February 23, 1956. Her mother was Gladys Pearl (Monroe) Baker. Monroe's birth father was never identified. For many years it was believed that Gladys's second husband Martin Edward Mortenson (1897-1981) was Monroe's father. His name was listed on her birth certificate. However this has been disputed with Monroe herself believing a salesman named Charles Stanley Gifford was her father. Whatever the case, Marilyn had no father in her life.
