The first important man in Marilyn Monroe's life was a man named James Aizer Doherty, who was Marilyn Monroe's first husband.
Marilyn Monroe's first marriage was unexpected, she married at the age of 16, just in time to reach the legal age of marriage in California. Just a year before Monroe got married, in 1941, she was in high school and won the title of "beautiful girl" for her outstanding appearance, but only a year later, when her peers were still in high school, she faced the dilemma of dropping out of school to marry or being sent to an orphanage. The reason for this situation is inseparable from Monroe's original family.
Monroe's mother was called Gladys, and her grandmother was called Deira Monroe (Marilyn Monroe later gave herself this stage name as a reference to her grandmother's name), and Monroe's later tragic fate and some indulgent personality were inseparable from these two people. Monroe's grandmother Della married a man named Otis Monroe when she was young, that is, Monroe's grandfather, but this man had a fiery personality, drank every day, and later even went crazy, and died of syphilis at the age of 43, leaving Della and her two children (daughter Gladis and son Marion). At this time, the 33-year-old Della had to marry someone else, but unfortunately, the marriage was equally unfortunate and ended in failure. After experiencing two failed marriages, Della began to abandon herself, lived a life of indulgence, and fooled around with other people's men every day, under such "words and deeds", Gladys grew up to become a woman like Della.
In 1917, the 16-year-old Gladys married a wealthy businessman who was 12 years older than her, originally thought that she had met true love, who knew that after marriage, she also faced domestic violence like her mother Della, and finally divorced, and then Gladys married again, and divorced again 4 months later, Gladys began to live a life of indulgence like her mother, looking for men to find fun, the situation is simply a copy paste of her mother's experience.
By 1925, Gladys found out that she was pregnant, but she did not know who the father of the child was, and no man was willing to admit that he was the father of the child, and the mother Della, who should have accompanied her through the difficulties at this time, ran to India to find her ex-husband, completely ignoring her daughter. Gladys could only silently live a life of unmarried pregnancy with the flesh and bones in her belly, endure the abnormal eyes of others, and finally on June 1, 1926, Gladys gave birth to a girl named Norma Jane Mortaison in the hospital alone, that is, the heroine of this article, Marilyn Monroe.
Gladys (left) and Monroe (right)
Born in such a family, you should be able to guess Monroe's life as a child, her mother Gladis is unable to raise her, but can only send her to a neighbor, a devout Believer Ida Bolund family to take care of.
The Borunds live by adopting children, and can receive subsidies from the government every month, Monroe has lived in the Borunds family for 7 years, although Gladis will visit Monroe every week, but almost every time she is expressionless, never kissed or even hugged Monroe, on the contrary, Monroe has a lot of fun with the group of children who have also been adopted in the Borund family, she has always regarded the Bolunds as her biological parents, if Monroe has been living here, maybe the fate of the future will be very different. But in 1933, Gladys decided to take Monroe with her, hoping to have someone to live with her. Gladys and the first husband gave birth to a son and a daughter, but the divorce was taken away by the husband, Monroe was born also fostered in someone else's home, she has been alone for 7 years, originally there was a mother Della company, but Della indulged all day, just from India to find her ex-husband back to suffer from malaria, crazy all day, and Monroe's grandfather, began to be mentally abnormal, and finally was sent to a mental hospital, not long after the death.
Monroe was a child
Watching the people around her leave one by one, Gladys began to hope to keep Monroe by her side, but it should not be difficult for everyone to guess that the relationship between Gladys and Monroe is difficult to be like a normal mother and daughter, after all, Gladys has never paid a motherly love to Monroe. To make matters worse, not long after Monroe was taken over, Gladys learned that her son born to her ex-husband had fallen ill and died, and Gladys collapsed on the spot, even shouting at Monroe, "Why didn't you die?" It is conceivable that Monroe, the illegitimate daughter, in the eyes of her mother, is far less important than the son born to her and her ex-husband, and Gladys, who lost her child, began to go crazy, and also suffered from mental illness like her parents, and there was no way but to be sent to a mental hospital for treatment. Monroe, on the other hand, had only been with her mother for three months, and in 1934 she was adopted by a woman named Grace.

Grace was Gladys's best friend, and after Gladys was sent to a mental hospital, she took the initiative to take care of Monroe and became Monroe's legal guardian. During the care of Monroe, Grace did her best, she would teach Monroe some basic manners, would take her to watch movies, Monroe also began to like movies under the influence of Grace, and hoped that she could become a movie star when she grew up. But this period of time also did not last long, a year later, Grace is ready to get married, this is her fourth marriage, Grace is very cherished, after all, she is also in her forties, the elder is not small, because the fiancé does not like to adopt other people's children, helpless, in 1935 Grace can only send 9-year-old Monroe to the orphanage.
After living in an orphanage for 2 years, Monroe was adopted by her aunt and Grace's aunt, and only returned to Grace's house again in 1941, watching Monroe grow day by day and become a beautiful woman, Grace began to plan Monroe's lifelong event, and the man she found for Monroe was James Aizer Doherty. Doherty is Monroe's neighbor, the family has a little savings, when Monroe was studying, she still drove a car to school with Monroe every day, Grace saw that the boy was not bad, she matchroached Monroe, and told Monroe that she was going to move her family to Los Angeles, there was no way to take her, poor Monroe could only choose to get married at this time, or continue to go back to the orphanage.
James Aizer Doherty and Monroe
Monroe was afraid to enter the orphanage again, so in 1942, at the age of 16, Monroe had to drop out of school and marry James Aizer Doherty, starting her first marriage. But this marriage is not happy, after all, at the beginning it was not because of feelings together, so married life is not easy, Doherty often works outside, and Monroe also went to work in an aircraft radio equipment factory, working as an assembly line woman in it, originally if life continued like this, then there would be no marilyn Monroe, but fate took a turn for the better in 1944.
Monroe just went to work
In 1944, near the end of World War II, a photographer named David Connor came to Monroe's aircraft factory to look for beautiful girls, intending to take pictures of them to inspire the American troops who were fighting on the front line. The beautiful-looking Monroe naturally entered the photographer's eyes, and then, more and more people wanted Monroe to take pictures as a model, and everyone praised this girl for being very good-looking and should go to the movie, which must be a big hit. Making movies has always been Monroe's ideal, so at the age of 19, Monroe ran to Hollywood, the birthplace of the world cinema dream, and signed a contract with a company called 20th Century Fox in July 1946, and officially gave herself a stage name "Marilyn Monroe". She rented a cheap house and tried to learn acting knowledge, but luck did not come to her head so early, but because she went to work as a model, which caused the anger of her husband Doherty, and the estrangement between husband and wife became more and more serious, and finally in September 1946, Monroe's first marriage came to an end.
Although Doherty and Monroe have only been together for 4 years, they are the first man in Monroe's life to save her from the sea of suffering, Monroe chose to marry Doherty in order not to go to the orphanage, but now she has left him aside because of the pursuit of dreams, so that when Monroe filed for divorce, Doherty would hate her for "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge". Monroe longs for freedom and aspires to be a star, and Doherty is the first man in her life to unite to achieve her goal, but not the last, because it is not long before Monroe begins to slowly sell her flesh in order to realize her film dreams.
Monroe, who regained her free body, began to plunge into the film industry, but it did not go well at first, and after a year or two of struggle in Hollywood, Monroe was participating in some insignificant roles, some only had one shot, some only had one line, and seeing that the dream of becoming a movie star was getting farther and farther away, Monroe began to take the side of the sword and decided to take the position through the so-called "unspoken rules".
In February 1948, Monroe met a man named Joe Schenck at a social gathering and had a relationship with him after a short party, after which, with Joe's help, Monroe signed a contract with Columbia and began playing the heroine in a play. But even though Monroe did well and was fired by the company after the scene was filmed, she still didn't achieve what she wanted.
At the end of 1948, at another party, Monroe once again captured the heart of another man, and this time, it would bring substantial progress to Monroe's future development. The man was Johnny Hyde, the second most important man in Monroe's life.
Johnny Hyde and Monroe

Hyde is an agent who has been popular with many stars, and as soon as he saw Monroe, he was attracted by Monroe's sexy and beautiful appearance, and immediately said to Monroe, "I can definitely make you a star." This made Monroe so happy that she had a relationship with him before long. Hyde really likes Monroe, he already has a family, but he abandoned his wife and children for Monroe, the two are tired of being together every day, and they also bring Monroe the opportunity to ascend to the throne. Beginning in 1949, Monroe began starring in several films with hyde's help, and was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards for the film Comet Beauty, giving Monroe her first stand on the Oscar stage.
But Hyde's efforts did not get the return he wanted, Hyde has always hoped that Monroe can marry him, Monroe has never agreed, for a while Monroe was forced by Hyde to be anxious, want to get rid of him, Monroe simply find a studio to be a model. In 1949, Monroe agreed to have a tom Kelly photographer take a nude photo of her and publish it on the calendar in exchange for $50.
Although Tom used a false name on the nude photos of the calendar, someone found out that it was Monroe and threatened her, and Monroe was worried that if it was revealed that it would have an impact on her acting career, she cleverly gave the copyright to the nude photo to a man named Hugh Hefner in advance. About Hugh Hefner, I think everyone has heard of it, he is the founder of the famous American adult magazine "Playboy", with more than 2,000 girlfriends in his life, the man who has slept with the most women in the world, 80 years old and still insists on drugging and 3 beautiful women, which makes people envious, and will write an article to introduce him later, it is estimated that everyone will want to see. After Monroe sold the nude photos to Hugh Hefner, Hefner published the photos in magazines, and Monroe was recognized as the first playboy girl.
Hugh Hefner
In December 1950, Hyde died of a sudden heart attack, in the last few years of his life, he was running for Monroe, he was a nobleman in Monroe's acting career, he pushed Monroe's career to a small peak, all of which Monroe saw in his eyes, maybe Monroe finally slowly fell in love with Hyde, just after Hyde's death, Monroe also swallowed a large number of pills to try suicide, fortunately was found in time to save herself.
With Hyde's help, Monroe continued to invite, but 20th Century Fox arranged mostly sexy, flirtatious bad films for Monroe, and they just used Monroe as a vase without really exploring her acting potential. Naturally, Monroe, who liked movies, could not accept this arrangement, and she began to refuse to participate in such films, and went to New York to start acting training classes to improve her acting skills. In addition, Monroe also established her own production company, at that time in the United States, female stars established their own production company, but there is no precedent, Monroe can be said to have created a precedent, but due to poor management, Monroe's company will not be gone. But Monroe's resistance was effective, and Fox began to arrange other types of influences for Monroe, and in 1953, Monroe starred in the well-made films "Niagara", "Gentleman Loves Beauty" and "Willing to Marry the Golden Turtle", which attracted a large audience, established her position in the film industry, and was named "the fastest-improving movie star".
In the same year, Monroe was invited to attend the award ceremony, and that night Monroe wore a long, golden tight skirt and stood on the stage, which was fascinating and earned the attention of the audience. A few months later, Monroe won the award again, leaving her own handprints and footprints in the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, which is also the highest recognition of her acting skills.
However, with the continuous rise of Monroe's acting career, the ensuing relatives continue to leave. Grace, the adoptive mother who had been growing up with Monroe as a child, was suffering from cancer and died in September 1953; her mother Gladys married another man on her back and was sent to a nursing home after her husband's death in 1953; and even worse, Monroe and her current boyfriend, Joe Dimaggio, cracked in their relationship.
Joe Dimaggio and Monroe

Joe Dimaggio, the third most important man in Monroe's life, was a professional baseball player who began a relationship with Monroe in 1952 and married Monroe in 1953. However, with the continuous contact, it was found that there was a big difference in personality between the two, Joe was a more conservative person, but Monroe was an open woman, especially Monroe wore a dress with a large open collar at the 1953 award ceremony, which made Joe can't stand it and left the scene immediately in anger. What officially bankrupted the marriage between the two was in 1954, this year, Monroe participated in a movie called "Seven Years Of Itch", in the movie, there is a clip of Monroe standing at the mouth of the subway, the skirt is blown up by the wind, Monroe laughs and presses the upturned skirt with her hand, this picture has become a classic, but also laid the chief status of Monroe's "sexy goddess", and began to become the dream lover of hundreds of millions of men.
Classic photos of Monroe
But after such a classic picture was seen by Monroe's conservative husband Joe, he was embarrassed, tightly converted into anger, and began to punch and kick Monroe, and the result can be imagined, in November 1954 Monroe began to file a divorce lawsuit. But this marriage has not yet come to an end, Monroe has dedicated her flesh to an actor named Sinatra and a music director named Hal Schaever, and what is even funnier is that the original partner (Joe Dimaggio) and Xiao San (Sinatra) actually sent a private detective to track Monroe, learned that Monroe was entangled with XiaoSi (Hal Schaever), led people into the room, and as a result, there was a "wrong door raid", ran to someone else's house, not only failed to catch the adulterer in bed, but was also sued in court. $7,500 was compensated. Monroe and Hal Schaeffer were now naked in the opposite room, and had already slipped away when they saw this scene.
Less than two years after divorcing Joe, Monroe found another man named Arthur Miller, a playwright who, before meeting Monroe, was known as "one of the three major screenwriters in the United States" for writing plays such as "Death of a Salesman" and "All My Son". In 1956, Monroe and Miller married, becoming the fourth most important man in Monroe's life. At that time, the two were also called a combination of "America's greatest brain" and "America's greatest flesh", which was passed down as a good story.
Arthur Miller and Monroe
But for Marilyn Monroe, the beautiful story begins, meaning that sadness is also counting down.
After marrying Miller, Monroe miscarried twice in 1957, the first time because of an ectopic pregnancy and could not have this child. The second time was that she was pregnant again, but because Monroe often took tranquilizers and other drugs, she caused a miscarriage. In fact, Monroe taking tranquilizers is not a day or two, as early as Monroe and agent Johnny Hyde together, Monroe began to take tranquilizers, because at this time she has the same psychotic symptoms as her mother and grandmother, often heard someone talking in her mind, and then more serious, sometimes 5 days a week need to see a psychologist, take a lot of drugs, and later even infected with drugs, in the long run, Monroe is too dependent on drugs, Even during pregnancy it is still impossible to stop taking tranquilizers, which also leads to a miscarriage of Monroe.
At this time, Miller did not have the previous love for Monroe, and Miller once wrote in his diary that Monroe was very naïve, different from what he imagined, and did not look like a mature woman at all. The relationship between the two began to deteriorate slowly shortly after their marriage, falling into anger and quarrels. To make matters worse, Monroe also invisibly provoked one of the most difficult people in the United States at that time---- The FBI Director Hoover.
FBI Commissioner Hoover
Before miller met Monroe, he had been targeted by the U.S. House of Representatives Non-American Activities Investigation Committee for participating in left-wing literary and artistic activities, and after Miller and Monroe got married, Monroe, the pillow person, was naturally listed as the object of surveillance. About Hoover, I have written related articles before (FBI Director Hoover is so powerful, you can take a look), this is a cruel role, even the president is jealous of him, by his target basically no good end, the most famous is the black leader Martin Luther King Jr., the good end was assassinated, died at the age of old, even if it is not later found out who is behind the scenes, but with Hoover can not escape the relationship (see how the black leader Martin Luther King Jr. died in the article I wrote before).
As long as Hoover was going to investigate a person, the person was almost no secret, and it was true, because Hoover soon had a nude photo of Marilyn Monroe. Hoover's intervention made Monroe uneasy, at this time her husband Miller was already unreliable, she had to find a bigger reliance, just in early 1960, Monroe met a woman named Pat Kennedy Lawford, it was this woman, pushed Monroe into the arms of the most powerful man in the United States at that time, but also inadvertently pushed Monroe's life ahead of the end.
five
Pat Kennedy Lawford had two older brothers, one named Robert F. Kennedy and the other john F. Kennedy. In July of the same year that Pat met Monroe, John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for president of the United States, and on the night of Kennedy's speech, Pat also took Monroe to meet Kennedy, and the two only had a few words of greeting backstage, and no one would have thought that in the near future it would trigger an earthquake in the entertainment industry and politics.
Monroe with the Kennedy brothers
However, a year after the entanglement of Monroe and the Kennedy brothers, at present, Monroe urgently needs to solve her marriage relationship with Miller, the two have reached the point where they must be inseparable, without any feelings, Monroe even put on an emerald green hat for her husband Miller like the previous marriage. That was in a filming, Monroe fell in love with a male actor named Yves Montant in the same crew, the crew is the most likely to have feelings, talk about a script sometimes two people have to talk for a night (this we all know by looking at our entertainment industry), the two came and went, and had a relationship during filming, for two or three months, until the end of the scene.
After giving Miller a green hat, Monroe divorced Miller in early 1961, and the third marriage ended. At this time, Monroe's mental illness also became more and more serious, and she was even sent to an insane asylum for treatment, but fortunately, Monroe's second husband, Joe Dimaggio, took her back. Joe actually has feelings for Monroe, although he was also sent two emerald green hats by Monroe, but who can say such a thing clearly, after all, who does not want to be with such a sexy specialty? But the tragic thing is that Joe's efforts did not make Monroe accept her heart, monroe while rekindling her old love with Joe, and at the same time entangled with the then little three Xinna, it was really unbearable to feel sad for Joe for three seconds.
However, the two men appeared eclipsed after Kennedy appeared in Monroe's life.
After John F. Kennedy became president, the so-called one-man ascension to heaven, his younger brother Robert F. Kennedy became the secretary of the U.S. Department of Justice, and his sister Pat also rose to the top society. Pat's husband Lawford is an actor, is a friend of Monroe, after Kennedy became president, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to seduce him, he knew that Kennedy is a man of nature, even with the first lady Jay Queenie, but still everywhere to pick up flowers and grass, so in 1962 Kennedy held a private party invited the world's sexiest female Marilyn Monroe to participate, that night Monroe appeared, immediately became the focus of the audience, successfully captured the heart of President Kennedy. The next day, Kennedy contacted Monroe and asked her to travel with her on March 24, 1962.
Monroe and Kennedy stayed together happily for two days and two nights, as for what to do, you can also guess, it may be simply talking about the script, or it may be with Monroe to do hair, we don't dare to ask, we don't dare to guess. Two days later, Kennedy began to cut off contact with Monroe as if she had disappeared, Monroe was not clear at the moment, she was just a sexual partner in Kennedy's eyes, a plaything, Kennedy was with her, just to show off, for vanity, to prove that he had been with the sexiest actress in the world, nothing else, when Kennedy and Monroe were together, they were also associated with more than a dozen women. But for Monroe, she began to fall into Kennedy's love network, unable to extricate herself, and with Kennedy, not only can get rid of the FBI Hoover's harassment, but also can be the first lady of the United States, it is simply perfect. So Monroe often called the White House to find Kennedy, but was rejected, and Kennedy even made it clear to her that their relationship was over.
However, at this time, Monroe is not dead hearted, on May 19, 1962, this day is Kennedy's 45th birthday, Monroe in the arrangement of her good friend Lawford, wearing a golden evening dress appeared at Kennedy's birthday party, it is said that this evening dress was specially designed by Monroe to French costume designer Jean Louis, the skirt was decorated with metal trims and beads, the back opening, the skirt and the ground, Monroe also affectionately named it "Kennedy dress".
In addition to this elaborate evening dress, Monroe also prepared a birthday gift for Kennedy - a Rolex watch, and on the back of the watch is engraved "Jack (Kennedy's nickname), Monroe will always love you." In addition, on the box of the watch is written a poem: "Let those who love each other breathe their sighs, let the roses bloom to the music, let the passion burn our lips and eyes." Let me love you, or I might as well die!"
Later, Monroe sang a song for Kennedy on stage, "Happy Birthday To You, President." Monroe's performance "touched" Kennedy, and he said on the spot, "Someone sang "Happy Birthday to You" for me so sweetly and healthily, and I can now quit politics." However, unlike Monroe's true feelings, Kennedy was just a scene, because just after the birthday party, Kennedy sent someone to retrieve all the photos that Monroe had taken with him that night, and the Rolex gold watch engraved with words was also secretly destroyed.
Monroe live "Happy Birthday, President"
In order to prevent Monroe from harassing him again, Kennedy sent his brother to "make it clear" with Monroe, do ideological work for Monroe, and tell her not to come back to pestering. As a result, Robert was even more powerful than Kennedy, and he had a direct relationship with Monroe in the first two, and even some people saw Monroe go to the hospital for an abortion on July 20, 1962, but they didn't know whether the child was an older brother or a younger brother.
Entanglement with the Kennedy brothers is the most wrong move for Monroe, who hopes to fly up the branches and become a phoenix, but she does not know that this is playing with fire, and a little carelessness will bury her life.

On August 4, 1962, Monroe had just finished filming her last film, "On the Verge of Collapse", and the title was on the verge of collapse, just like her current situation. Monroe still needs to take a lot of drugs continuously, the mood is high-pitched for a while, the next is depressed, and at 7 o'clock in the evening, Monroe enters the room to rest. No one knows what happened to Monroe in the following time, because just a few hours later, at 4:25 a.m. on August 5, 1962, the Los Angeles police received a phone call, and when the police arrived, they found Monroe lying naked on the bed, with a pillow over her face, her legs straight, a telephone handset in her hand, and some sleeping pill bottles scattered around the bed.
Marilyn Monroe is dead! It's all like suicide!
The coroner examined Monroe's stomach and found no medication, but found remnants of sleeping pills in the blood and liver, and they suspected that Monroe had been killed by injecting a large amount of sleeping pills.
As soon as the news of Monroe's death came out, all kinds of speculation followed, some people suspected that Monroe's personal doctor Greenson and nurse Murray were instructed to kill Monroe, and falsified the suicide scene at the first time afterwards, and it was the Kennedy brothers who instructed them, because after the incident, the housekeeper Murray went to a Kennedy brothers' apartment in Massachusetts; others suspected that Monroe had killed her with a "secret diary" in her hand, which contained secrets between President Kennedy and the American Mafia. This led to Monroe's death; some people said that before her death, Monroe threatened the Kennedy brothers to publish their relationship with them and even abortion to the media, which led to the kennedy brothers being poisoned; what's more, it was rumored that Monroe was a female agent of the Russian KGB, lurking in the United States to obtain secrets, and was murdered by the FBI...
All kinds of suspicions are boiling, all pointing to the Kennedy brothers who are in a high position at this time, and what is more frightening is that a year after Monroe's death, President Kennedy was murdered, and 5 years later, his brother Robert was also murdered when he was running for president, both of which also became unsolved.
The scene of Kennedy's assassination
Once the Kennedy brothers died, the truth of Monroe's death could not be ascertained, leaving only some speculation that would never be answered and a cold beauty corpse, and it was said that the FBI had a large number of archives, but it had not been released for a long time. After Monroe's death, her second husband, Joe Dimaggio, was in charge of her funeral, a man who had only been married to Monroe for less than a year, but could tolerate Monroe's infidelity, maintain a friendship with Monroe after the divorce, and help Monroe many times, which can be regarded as a perfect spare tire. What is even more remarkable is that in the twenty years after Monroe's death, he sent a dozen red roses to Monroe's grave three times a week, and never consumed his relationship with Monroe in public, Monroe had been exposed to so many men in her life, Joe was the one who had the deepest feelings for her.
Although Monroe did not remarry Joe later, but perhaps Joe's feelings for Monroe, Monroe also remembered, because after Monroe's death, when people cleaned up her inheritance, they found that Monroe's bank card was only $4,000, for a world-renowned movie star, she created $2 billion in profits for Fox in her lifetime, but she spent most of the money on charity, helping those suffering children, and the only valuable item around her at the moment was the wedding ring when she married Joe Di Machio.
【Conclusion】
A generation of sexy actress Marilyn Monroe has since vanished, she has brought many wonderful movies to people at the same time, but also brought everyone countless fragrant gossip, people on the one hand praised her acting skills, on the other hand lingered on her beauty, but few people really want to understand her heart. Monroe was born in such a family since she was a child, which led to her concept of marriage and love being different from others, on the one hand, she longed for a sweet marriage, on the other hand, she liked to hook up with her husband, which also doomed her tragic emotional life. In order to win the attention of more people and hide her inferiority and pain, Monroe desperately decorated herself and dressed herself, and in front of the camera is always a sexy object that exudes a charming atmosphere, earning enough people's attention and becoming a "sexy goddess" in people's minds.
It's just that the more this happens, the more people think about it, and she can't get the real feelings that belong to her, as she said in her autobiography, "Men would rather pay a thousand dollars for your kiss than spend fifty cents to listen to your soul". While we lament the death of a generation of "sexy actresses", please do not forget that she is an actress.
