Time At An Orphanage

When Monroe was around nine years old, she was placed in an orphanage – a place which she would later talk harshly about in interviews. The star claimed that she had needed to wash hundreds of dishes, forks and knives every day while getting paid next to nothing for her work. However, these allegations have been disputed by other sources.

Regardless of whether she was exploited at the orphanage, Monroe definitely did not enjoy life there. Finally, one of her mother’s friend named Grace McKee Goddard got her out of there and took her in. Sadly, though, Monroe might have also been sexually abused at this new home. Grace’s husband, Doc, is allegedly the guilty party.
