Monroe's mother was mentally ill and was sent to a mental hospital. When she was a child, Monroe rarely saw her mother. Her mother only visits her once in a while when she is sober, and she doesn't know who her real father is. During her childhood, she moved from family to family. As a baggage child, she has no happiness at all. These families adopted her in order to receive government subsidies, and their living conditions were very poor.
One of them is extremely frugal, with only one bucket of water in the shower. The family took turns washing, and Monroe, as an adopted son, was undoubtedly the last one. After becoming famous, Monroe liked bathing very much. Even if she is going to be late, she will certainly listen to music, read books and enjoy a leisurely bath. Everyone in the crew is critical of this bad habit, but little did they know that it was actually Monroe's compensation for her childhood.
At the age of fifteen, Monroe married her first husband, james daugherty, in order to stop running around in various families. According to her first husband, Monroe was very sensitive and fragile. If he didn't kiss her goodbye or tell her I love you, it would upset Monroe.
When World War II broke out, Doherty was sent abroad for joining the army, and Monroe worked as a worker in a parachute factory.

Monroe was already a hot star in Hollywood when she got married for the second time, and her second husband was baseball star Joe DiMaggio. Their combination caused a sensation in the media. Joe is a conservative sicilian. He is always arguing with Monroe about her career. Maybe he is the only one who really loves Monroe. He presided over her funeral after her death and gave her flowers every year, but he hoped Monroe was just a sexy housewife.
On their honeymoon in Japan, Monroe was far more popular than Joe, which caused him unhappiness. Later, after the honeymoon, Monroe went to South Korea to give a performance to comfort the soldiers, which was warmly welcomed by100000 US troops, and some soldiers even cried. Monroe said that this was the first time she realized that she was a star.
But what really put their marriage in crisis was the shooting of a classic scene in the movie "The Seven-Year Itch". The brokerage company did a lot of publicity activities in advance for the shooting of this scene. On the day of shooting, the subway station was crowded with people, and some even bribed the staff to get into the vent of the subway to watch Monroe's skirt being blown up by the wind. This scene has been filmed many times, and the cheers of the audience are getting higher and higher. Seeing this scene, Joe showed an expression of disgust. After Monroe returned to the dressing room, a fierce quarrel broke out. The next day, Monroe's face was black and blue. She wore a low-key black dress and just kept telling reporters, "I'm sorry, I don't want to say anything." But it's still dazzling Joe got in the car and drove away, leaving a message: "I don't want to go back to this hellhole!" " "They divorced less than a year after they got married.

When Monroe was pregnant, they went on holiday. Even at home, Monroe should be careful not to disturb the writing of great writers. And at the dinner table, Miller always holds a book and doesn't talk to Monroe at all. Monroe thought, "Maybe he thinks I don't deserve to talk to him at all." Miller also wrote plays for Monroe, but the characters are the shallow images that Monroe hates most. No matter what Monroe said she didn't like the role, Miller insisted on not changing it. Only then did Monroe realize that Miller married her just to make money from her star effect, and she ended her third marriage painfully.
Monroe's half-sister once said that the biggest tragedy in her life was that she could not have children. In fact, Monroe likes children very much. The day before her death, she also spoke to the son of her ex-husband Joe on the phone. However, repeated miscarriages frustrated her desire to become a mother, and one of them even made Monroe have mental problems.
