The Reason
However, why would Monroe have gone back to a man who reportedly have treated her badly? Many biographers point out that, sadly, majority of Monroe’s short life was filled with abuse in some form. Even when she was the beautiful yet ordinary Norma Jeane Baker, there were awful things that she had experienced in her early childhood.
Early Life
In 1926, Monroe was born in Los Angeles, California. Gladys Pearl Baker, her mother, had come from a poor family while Monroe’s father wasn’t in the picture. As a matter of fact, Monroe reportedly hadn’t even seen a photograph of her father until she was eight years old. It is believed that a man by the name of Charles Stanley Gifford was her dad.
