Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson) remains the ultimate symbol of 20th-century glamour, sensuality, and tragedy. Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles County Hospital, California. As of 2026, she would have been 100 years old. Her zodiac sign was Gemini. Her mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, suffered severe mental illness and was frequently institutionalized; her father’s identity remains unknown (possible candidates: Charles Stanley Gifford or Edward Mortenson). Norma Jeane spent much of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages, including the Los Angeles Orphans Home. She married her first husband, James Dougherty, at age 16 in 1942 to avoid returning to the orphanage system.
