    Description

    The birth of Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in a Los Angeles maternity hospital, is the starting point of an existence marked by the absence of a father and an unstable mother. This founding event lays the groundwork for a desperate quest for love and recognition, themes that would persist throughout her life. From childhood, family instability and foster care placements forged a deep vulnerability, a prelude to the complexity of the woman and the icon she would become.
