Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles, California, on June 1, 1926. She spent much of her childhood in foster homes and an orphanage while her mother struggled with mental illness and financial hardship. Despite that difficult start, she later became one of Hollywood’s most famous stars. Her path to fame began during World War II, when she was working at a California factory. Army photographer David Conover noticed her while taking pictures of women workers, and she soon began modeling. Her success as a model led to a movie contract with 20th Century Fox in 1946. She adopted the name Marilyn Monroe and gradually built a film career. Monroe died at age 36 at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, on August 5, 1962. The official finding attributed her death to acute barbiturate poisoning and classified it as a probable suicide.
