Norma Jean was born 1 Jun 1926, Gladys' divorce from Martin was not completed until 1927, but they were apparently seperated for some time before this, and Gladys was possibly dating other men, as reported by a few biographers.  One theory is that Norma's real father was a married man named Stanley Gifford.  Allegedly, Marilyn's mother told her this, but so far this statement is uncited.

[[Shelley Winters]] who was at one time Marilyn's roommate relates this story<blockquote>"Marilyn told us how she had recently gotten a man's name from that orphan asylum.  Her mother had listed a Mortensen as her biological father.  The night she had finished ''The Asphalt Jungle'', after the wrap party...she called information in some place like Whittier, got the man's phone number and called it....She was convinced that this man was her biological father, and she explained to the man who she was....A drunked male voice responded, 'Listen you tramp, I have my own family, and I don't want anything to do with Hollywood bums.  Don't you ever call me again."  And he hung up.</blockquote>

Evidently shortly after Grace married her last husband Ervin Silliman Goddard (1904-72), she sent Norma to the Los Angeles Orphans' Home from September 1935 to June 1937. Whatever caused this displacement must have later been corrected, as Grace took Norma back out of the orphanage at the end of this time.

Much later, at the time that [[Shelley Winters]] and Marilyn were roommates, the were just coming out of the Circle Theatre and Marilyn was staring at a building across the street. She whispered, "That's the orphan asylum I lived in most of my life.  That's where my foster parents would ship me back to when they decided they didn't want my anymore."
