Marilyn Monroe’s childhood was very troubled. She never knew who her father was and her mother, a film cutter for RKO, would slip into madness and abandon Norma Jean to a life of abusive foster homes and an orphanage. Norma Jean ’s suffering didn’t end there; at the tender age of just 2 years old she had a close brush with death and at the age of 6 she would nearly be raped. At the age of 9 Norma Jean began doing kitchen work for church for just five cents per month and at the age of 16, during World War II, she would work in an aircraft factory building planes. It was while she was working here that she would be discovered by photographers. It would not be long before the first Marilyn Monroe movie would be filmed.
