you can hear the pain in her voice. All that beauty, all the fame and adoration and she cried for her lost parents- nothing can take the place of your mom and dad.
HisNameSake777 Justified No honey there's nude photos of her showing her hips and her tits. If she was a ftm she would've been outed with that amount of fame and that image by the orphanage and her foster parents. Her co star Jane Russel was a man.
Very true. They get bounced around from home to home and when they turn 17 or 18 they are forced to leave and live on their own. Many foster children and up homeless, addicted and in jail. Now, foster children are forced into human trafficking.
My best friend went through this because her mother had 'emotional issues". And now I am the one who will look after her forever. The sound of Marilyn's voice and her honest words is heartbreaking.
It's awful that she went through so much pain and turmoil. She seemed too good for this world, and that's why we ended up losing her too soon. May she rest in peace.
Chet youbetya she was used and abused plenty. People have mentioned abuse from a step father of hers I believe. She was used by studio heads. And managers. She only got comedies and not many dramatic roles. They always based things on her sex appeal and never really got her into something deeper. All they cared about was the money they could make off her. They created the image of her... she obviously rolled with it.. but ultimately it didn’t help her in the end. Idk just my take on it.
@Haus of Tiffany - I empathize with you fully. If you don’t play a musical instrument, may I suggest start learning to play an acoustic guitar. I began learning to play when I was 13. I’m in my 70s now. And playing the guitar to myself, alone, may be 1 of the most important reasons I’m still alive. Often I hold it against my chest & lay the side of my head against the guitar, so that the guitar harmonics resonate more in my head. When I do that, I write down much of what comes into my head & later I read it again. Over the decades much of that has become songs which of course are poetry set to music. It all has been my most helpful therapy.
I dont think i ever appreciated marilyn monroe until now. Being abandoned by my own parents at about 11, working at 13, i learned to long for what parents might be like. I have a tender place for marilyn forever now
@@lepetitchat123 REALLY???? YOU REALLY HAD TO ASK THAT QUESTION???? What kind of sick, depraved idiot are you??? You should look more into yourself and leave others alone!
I was just thinking the same thing Angelica. I so wish that I had been her mom and she would have never gone thru any of that. All she would know was love and she would have a mommy at her side whenever she wanted one.
She is so lovely. Gentle and soft and child-like. So sad for a child to be moved from place to place, feeling unwanted. How brave was she to follow her dreams and ambitions later in her life. What a person. RIP Marilyn. You are much loved and missed.
I wish she grew old, and lived her life fully. She never really got to live a full happy life. Wherever she is in heaven I hope she is living happy and has a family...
when she said "I want to play house" makes me feel sad, simply because youre able to pretend what ever you want. she must be pretending having a family
Yes , my ears perked up at that comment also, and also I felt sad. I thought she wanted to play house because It was something she didn't have. She wanted a home. A momma and poppa. She was a baby girl. She wanted to feel safe and loved. She wanted to feel wanted. Basic needs. Instead she was rejected 10 times at least! Her voice when she says the boy was adopted was full of pain. No wonder she became such a loner. Seemed she could not trust relationships But was able to wordlessly express her vulnerable mysterious beautiful self. A gift. A modern Mona Lisa .
Oh gosh, I couldn't help my tears!!! The moment she is recounting the way she would call everybody "mom or dad" after no parents were around. The cold way her aunt asked her not to call her mom anymore... :( so-on & so-on...
"when I moved on to the next family, I felt more abandoned and betrayed than before. The psyches of a child are so much more complex than most people comprehend"... Totally agree!!!
LVsCloset 308,847 : You are the kind one here for sharing those very sensitive subjects with us who have no idea!!! If you ever write a book about your experiences in life as foster child, I would love to read it. You are very insightful. You gave me a new perspective. Thank you!!! :)
It was her first foster mother, Ida Bolender, who told her to call her "Aunt' instead of "Mama." She and her husband, Albert, raised Marilyn from infancy to around age 8, when her mother briefly reclaimed her for several months. After her mother was institutionalized following a violent episode, that's when the orphanage and numerous foster homes occurred.
You really have to admire MM as a human being. And how she used her creative imagination to create her own little world. And then she made that into reality beyond her wildest expectations. Almost like magic.
My heart breaks for that child and also for the woman she became. Though we hear Marilyn speak in two separate interviews I hear the same sadness, grief and mourning. Too she sounds exhausted. Someone from the children's home staff once said that the dishwashing aspect wasn't as Marilyn said or maybe that it didn't happen at all, I don't recall for sure. Whatever happened, we hear the voice of someone truly traumatized and deprived as a child and who is still affected by that trauma and deprivation as an adult.---I've seen pictures of Marilyn's mother taken over a period of many years and in only one did I not see a look of strain and anxiety. Marilyn was so cheated by life yet, having been given so little, went so far.
I would take what the orphanage staff said with a grain of salt. I was in a Central American orphanage in the '80s that catered to American families, so they had an upstanding reputation. However, sexual abuse was rampant. Of course, they adamantly denied it when several people (including me) came forward with the claims after our respective adoptions.
Less-than-ideal childhood, and yet she has nothing bad to say about any of these people who abandoned her, abused her, neglected her as a child. What a sweet soul.
I worked at the orphans home where she stayed at when she was a child. It’s in Hollywood. Story is she’d look out her window and could see Paramount studio next door and say that one day she’d be a movie star. There were pics of her during her stay there. Such a sad story. It’s so heartbreaking.
I love hearing Marilyn's actual voice. Her "O's" (even at the top when she says "Mortenson") at times sound like a New Jersey accent, and oddly, at other times, a Boston one. Even though she's born and bred in L.A. But the humanity in her voice, in the best of ways, is a far cry from her movie star voice.
Jon Spano hey I noticed her accent to ...I thought east coast definitely! Maybe her Mom was from back east. Or her Mom's best friend Grace,who use to take her out .
This could have been recorded when she was living in New York. I never heard about any English couple , but certainly could have been. She did study in Manhattan at the Actors Studio with Lee Strasberg however.
Breaks my heart how this woman never knew what love was from her family. Living with an emptiness in her little heart into womanhood. She did her best to be an adult without the guidance of a role model in her younger years. Who doesn’t want to be loved in this lifetime. 😔
Bay Bird Indeed! I was going to actually comment that. That’s such a horrible way to be rejected, especially a young, confused child and all she was looking for was acceptance and love.
Bay Bird i dont remember my mother calling me anything but ‘Little Bitch’ until i was 14 when i thumped her. I got sick of being knocked about. She never touched me after that, but whacked up the mental cruelty
Especially such a rejecting mother :( she must have been a charming child. She blames herself for her abandonment. The heartbreak. I can only listen and think about her when I feel strong.
For Norma Jeane to have lived such a deprived childhood, she had the strength, will power and determination of an army (whom she later entertained in Korea). She was an optimist and I think deep down in her soul that she was determined for greatness. I think her acting career provided a positive outlet for her recessed emotions from early childhood. Marilyn, you are as much an amazement in death to us all as you were in life dear woman. G_d Bless your beautiful soul.
the best mix I think ive ever found- the music with her voice and beautiful old film footage created something very relaxing, dreamy. thank you for posting this- so beautiful.
Marilyn Monroe is a great example of goodness,perseverance and a rich sweet Spirit!!...To have such unstable and crazy childhood She did so much to keep hereself focus..I could see that going to the movies all day Saturdays and Sundays influenced her in her scape from such ugly reality No mother presence, no father s love and support. ..moreover this experience fed her imagination in art creativity!!..So many kids today with such instability become bitter ,ugly,and mad ..she ,on the contrary used her back and foward going to different Foster homes to enrich her spirit.. I imagine how sad she was but God knows how to help children in despair..Its Wonderful and Honest the way she describes her sad chilhood with that human touch she always had!!..To me Marilyn Monroe was a very sensitive,honest,good,person ahead of her time ,she knew who she was ,she knew her potential as a creative Artist and actress....as a sensual creature...She knew to be herself in any situation....Its sad the lack of help from Hollywood ,they knew she was good..come on it was 1950s ,there were so many great actors she could perform with..Its a Paul Newman and wife Woodworth, Betty Davis,Karl Gable (at list she did "The Mistfit " with him)Marlon Brandon,Sydney Poitier, Frank Sinatra,Rita H.,etc,etc,etc...actors that could do drama with her ..or intelligent comedies..She was a natural comedian...come on why not ??? Think all she did in her life even though she was so emotionally vulnerable!!!..I love the way she talks about her childhood..Thank You very much to share this with us !!!
Marilyn Miller Hollywood was a horrendously chauvanistic place then and still is todat. Actresses had to work four times harder and fight four times harder to ‘make it’. If you look at the ones who did, Dietrich, Hepburn Crawford and Davis were hard tough women. Sensitive souls, Veronica Lake, Monroe, Tierney, Garland fell by the wayside to alcohol, pills and suicides because no matter how hard they tried they were not treated as artists but arm candy. Where would Monroe and co be at 60? Few survived that long.
If she got through her childhood only to become one of the most famous people in this world then you can get through anything. I know that if I was in her shoes I probably would have just stayed home all day and shut out the rest of the world, but not her. She really is an inspiration and we all should learn from her. Never let the darkness get to you. Always shine like she did.
Most children with horrific childhoods become artistic in some way. But they still carry that childhood trauma throughout their life. And it becomes their downfall. Either drugs, depression or multiple toxic relationships!!
Marilyn Monroe never really had the chance to be happy. I feel for her with this docu. Her narration is so heartbreaking it tears me up. It is said that her mother had told her once that she was an unplanned pregnancy and therefore was unwanted child. The cruelty of her biological parents is unthinkable. Of course her father didn't say anything. He was gone before she could even talk.
@@Chutney1luv I don't think we'll ever know for sure what REALLY happened, but It could of been either that or an overdose. (I think it was an overdose honestly.)
Fascinating upload. Thank you very much. Very sad too, especially when Marilyn shared the part about when the other children had gone to bed, she would look out of the window to where her Mother had once worked and it would make her cry, perhaps wondering one day would her life change for the better. So young and such a testing start in life.
I can't help but feel so much pain and sadness for this most beautiful and kind lady. I wish Marilyn Monroe could've had a normal loving and nurturing family in her life. Maybe her life could've turned out differently ....we will always love her in our own way.
That's so sad . But God gave her a beautiful gift . Her beauty and acting . She will always be timeless . It's so sad that she had to die at such a young age . I know I have heard she was murdered or she commuted suicide. I guess we will never know what really happened to her. It makes you wonder though, if she had had parents that were there for her wonder how her life would have turned out ? I couldn't image leaving my 7 year old child at the movie theater by herself . Of course times might have been different back then . Thanks so much for sharing this.
It’s incredible how some of us can relate to her so very much , not just by admiring her timeless beauty but mostly by her stories 💋 What a true Angle in so many ways xx
Very sad but not a rare story for a child in care this is why they become so scared for the rest of their life. She did rise above it all but never truly recovered. Looked for approval all of her life and never found what she really needed parents.
OceanSound100 Doesn't she sound like Michael Jackson? I think he spoke like her. I know he liked her very much and had a mannequin of her in his room. I used to wonder why, but when i hear about her childhood, I understand why. He related to and empathised with little Norma Jean, that was behind the glamorous icon.
I went to forster care from 8yrs to 28yrs so yes as a man it still to this day or when I see a famous celebrity like herself it makes me wonder that I'm not the only one who has experienced something like this
It's amazing she accomplished what she did considering her challenging, lonely and chaotic childhood. Yes, she was beautiful but there are countless people as attractive, or more so, who never distinguish themselves in any way. Nice to her hear telling her story in her unaffected voice.
I just want to hold her in my arms and love her and give her the biggest deepest, hugs as a friend I would have checked in on her often making sure she was ok,she seemed to be surrounded by Predatory Men she needed strong supportive female friends who had her back,Stood up for her 💙💙Rip beautiful Angel 💙💙💙💙💙💙
This is exactly the story of my life my aunt raised me since I was 5 and the only time I told her mom she said to me don’t call mom and she was hit me all the time and even I’m 25now I still have that pain of growing up abused and lonely
Ange La She was daunted by the responsibility; she was looking twenty years ahead and it frightened her. This doesn't change the fact that she damaged you terribly with her insensitivity. You had to learn that it was nothing to do with who you are, your personality or appearance. You will have simply thought yourself unworthy of love. My best friend at school lost her Mum at 11. Her sister was even younger and occasionally, in desperation called her "Mummy". My friend snapped at her. I thought she was being cruel, but I now understand her reaction. It was fear.
aerialkate I have always felt I’m unworthy of love and I kept run away if I find guy who really loves me and I didn’t understand why and I didn’t even know how to describe that feeling but finally I realize I don’t feel I deserve anything not only love but everything now days I feel I don’t even deserve to live
Ange La You have to interrupt yourself when you're having those thoughts and tell yourself that what you're feeling is how you've been programmed to think in childhood. You have to de-program yourself and instead think logically. We are all warned that nobody ever "completes" us anyway. As Iylana said when asked if she believes in soul mates: "Yes, I am my own soul mate." Be good to yourself. You 100% deserve to be happy.
I could relate to Marilyn Monroe in so many ways. I didn’t had a father figure, my mother was and is still is mentally unstable. I felt what she felt when she was in a psych ward. To me it felt like I had no control over my life, and I felt vulnerable and in my lowest point. I feel sympathy for her.
My mother used to leave me all alone at home all day at the age of 4 while she went to work and my father had mostly jobs where he had to work out of town for weeks on end ..
Wow,I did not know much about Marilyn Monroe, listening to her tell her story I'm sad and amazed at the same time, to become the most famous star in the world is a miracle, it meant to happen, she will always remain loved.
As someone stated a few times further up, ~ her mother never signed anything to have her adopted out, so that is why she had bounced around from foster home to foster home ..
That girl was intelligent and had a good heart. She was a victim of circumstance and will be resurrected to a paradise earth where Jehovah will give her a chance like so many others to worship him and be a Christian example eventually if she chooses to do so, to live forever on earth.
I always saw Marilyn as my grandmother and imagined her as such🤍 I love her so so much with all my heart and I am beyond sad and hurt that she experienced al this. I just want to give her the biggest most warmest hug and tell her how strong she is and that she is never alone and will always be loved. She is absolutely wonderful and I cried a little watching this video…may her beautiful soul rest in peace and find happiness and love forever❤️ I love her so so much.
Really a terribly sad story, Marilyn as icon is a type of glory but she seems shrouded in tragedy. Quite obviously an intelligent and sensitive person who projected beauty physically and spiritually. I have never seen her films, and can't wait. x
Very nice hear tell her story in her own words can't help but think how terrible childhood she had its amazing she made it as far as she did . Such a beautiful soul and she was treated so unfairly in life and used by so many that she actually cared for her .
I miss her ,even tough I never seen her or havened live in her time or when she was dead . She seams like a she was a beautiful ,kind hearted Lady . such a sad story ,if she was my girl ,I'd spoil her a lot 😢😢😢😍 #RIP we miss you
And bec she lost her parents and relatives everyone took advantage on her through her short life, the bosses at the entertainment industry, the politicians and all those crappy people around, I feel so sad for her
Why can’t adults realize how their words affect kids so strongly?… it feels like so many adults are jaded through hardship and they pass that brutality of words onto children, not realizing how damaging the delivery is. Sensitivity in language would at least lessen the harshness of reality to a child who is trying to comprehend things beyond their age and understanding.
Her voice is so soft and truthful, like someone mentioned here as a child because she never really got to be a child, I feel like. Always longing for love and sincere comfort. I didn't know this about her, to hear her makes me sad all that she lived is nothing to what her photos and scenes show. It truly was a show, how sad.
So sad 😞 the way she was shipped here and there to various Foster parents. She never really had a childhood of any kind of happiness. She sounds so forgiving of the way she was treated by them. Imagine leaving a child alone for the day at the movies 🎥 sad.
I've always loved you Marilyn,and felt a kinship and empathy even as a child,I will always keep a good thought for you honey, I know how it feels to be abandoned by your own parents,may you rest in peace beautiful one
It is so sad how lack of loving parents affect our lives.
I am/was an orphan as well...and it totally affected my life :(
+Mary Legari but I am sure you have people that love you very much
Crystal Walker actually I don't
mba2ceo yeah like me:(
Every pain has an affect on us,Being laughed at at childhood or teen years. The thing is to heal the pain.
Hearing the sadness in her voice when she says "they adopted the boy they were boarding" as if to say "Why not me?" Is so heartbreaking.
her mother intervened and would not give her up. The were blocked however they much loved both
❤q
you can hear the pain in her voice. All that beauty, all the fame and adoration and she cried for her lost parents- nothing can take the place of your mom and dad.
Well said!!! :(
yes you are right this fragile voice and it leaves really to protect her to give her a mom
Her sadness in her voice almost makes me want to cry. It's heartbreaking. :(

gorg ghalkhani some times you can be better off without your natural parents
I wish I could go back in time and make sure she was loved and cared for.
Go out and volunteer! there plenty of children who need help right now.
Jessica Marlowe me too
Maybe you can’t go back in time, but you can prevent any other child from feeling the same way Marilyn did. You have the power to.
She was Shelley winters was like a sister too her.
Saame 😒
It's really sad to think how many children go through this same scenario, bounced from foster home to foster home or aging out in an orphanage.
Very true. They get bounced around from home to home and when they turn 17 or 18 they are forced to leave and live on their own. Many foster children and up homeless, addicted and in jail. Now, foster children are forced into human trafficking.

So sad such a broken childhood..she never got over it..how could she? God help the unwanted children who don't have a parent to take care of them.

Apparently, she was fostered by an English lady/couple and that is where she picked-up her precise annunciation.

this made me appreciate my parents more i love them lots
This is so crushing to hear what foster kids go through.
Me and Miss Monroe had a few things in common:Sexual abuse,insecurities,and not knowing my real father. She was a true beautiful yet lost angel.
I'm sorry you've had such sadness in your life.
I feel the same. I think a lot of abused people could relate to her.
It's difficult to overcome
Rebella12 Wynn they didnt say she was sexually abused
utube ser she was though. Do your Research, please.
It breaks my heart when Marilyn had called that red hair lady "Mom" and she responded ; I am not your mom , don't call me mom any more.
She actually called the foster mother "mom", and the foster mother told her that her real mom was the red haired lady.
Bay Bird Indeed! I was going to actually comment that. That’s such a horrible way to be rejected, especially a young, confused child and all she was looking for was acceptance and love.
Yes that was sad :(
Bay Bird i dont remember my mother calling me anything but ‘Little Bitch’ until i was 14 when i thumped her. I got sick of being knocked about. She never touched me after that, but whacked up the mental cruelty
Makes me feel sad for the children that are put in foster constantly moving from house to house looking for love
Especially such a rejecting mother :( she must have been a charming child. She blames herself for her abandonment. The heartbreak. I can only listen and think about her when I feel strong.
For Norma Jeane to have lived such a deprived childhood, she had the strength, will power and determination
of an army (whom she later entertained in Korea). She was an optimist and I think deep down in her soul that she was determined for greatness. I think her acting career provided a positive outlet for her recessed emotions from early childhood. Marilyn, you are as much an amazement in death to us all as you were in life dear woman. G_d Bless your beautiful soul.
+Shaye Kisitu there's something to be said about genetics.
Shaye Kisitu aka Jannah225 and give you salvation in Christ Jesus. Amem
Shaye Kisitu aka Jannah225 - to bad she ran into the Kennedy clan.
@@kimsutube11 There's no evidence what so ever to support that claim
It's ok. You can say God. Some people may put you down for it, but those who do, believe they are pond scum, so it's a win for you.
the best mix I think ive ever found- the music with her voice and beautiful old film footage created something very relaxing, dreamy. thank you for posting this- so beautiful.
Perfectly said, Sydney.
Marilyn Monroe is a great example of goodness,perseverance and a rich sweet Spirit!!...To have such unstable and crazy childhood She did so much to keep hereself focus..I could see that going to the movies all day Saturdays and Sundays influenced her in her scape from such ugly reality No mother presence, no father s love and support. ..moreover this experience fed her imagination in art creativity!!..So many kids today with such instability become bitter ,ugly,and mad ..she ,on the contrary used her back and foward going to different Foster homes to enrich her spirit.. I imagine how sad she was but God knows how to help children in despair..Its Wonderful and Honest the way she describes her sad chilhood with that human touch she always had!!..To me Marilyn Monroe was a very sensitive,honest,good,person ahead of her time ,she knew who she was ,she knew her potential as a creative Artist and actress....as a sensual creature...She knew to be herself in any situation....Its sad the lack of help from Hollywood ,they knew she was good..come on it was 1950s ,there were so many great actors she could perform with..Its a Paul Newman and wife Woodworth, Betty Davis,Karl Gable (at list she did "The Mistfit " with him)Marlon Brandon,Sydney Poitier, Frank Sinatra,Rita H.,etc,etc,etc...actors that could do drama with her ..or intelligent comedies..She was a natural comedian...come on why not ??? Think all she did in her life even though she was so emotionally vulnerable!!!..I love the way she talks about her childhood..Thank You very much to share this with us !!!
Marilyn Miller Hollywood was a horrendously chauvanistic place then and still is todat. Actresses had to work four times harder and fight four times harder to ‘make it’. If you look at the ones who did, Dietrich, Hepburn Crawford and Davis were hard tough women. Sensitive souls, Veronica Lake, Monroe, Tierney, Garland fell by the wayside to alcohol, pills and suicides because no matter how hard they tried they were not treated as artists but arm candy. Where would Monroe and co be at 60? Few survived that long.
Marilyn Monroe will forever always be one of my favorite actresses. ❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💘💘💘💘💘
oh dear, I know of her childhood but to hear herself say these things out load, that is heart wrenching and I'm only on 2:30 :(
You never hear any self-pity
Janine11155 maybe because she didn’t like herself she probabilidade didn’t feel worth of pitying herself
This makes me so sad. RIP Marilyn
this is beautiful.
Poor person. My heart aches for this child
If she got through her childhood only to become one of the most famous people in this world then you can get through anything. I know that if I was in her shoes I probably would have just stayed home all day and shut out the rest of the world, but not her. She really is an inspiration and we all should learn from her. Never let the darkness get to you. Always shine like she did.
Beautifully said and so true🤍 she is a true inspiration
Sadly, the darkness did get to her. We, the public, just didn't see it.
Most children with horrific childhoods become artistic in some way. But they still carry that childhood trauma throughout their life. And it becomes their downfall. Either drugs, depression or multiple toxic relationships!!
Marilyn Monroe never really had the chance to be happy. I feel for her with this docu. Her narration is so heartbreaking it tears me up. It is said that her mother had told her once that she was an unplanned pregnancy and therefore was unwanted child. The cruelty of her biological parents is unthinkable. Of course her father didn't say anything. He was gone before she could even talk.
Jupiter lots of people had stupid fucked up "parents."
@@peekaboots01 But not everyone is strong enough to get through it!! So BRAVA to all who do!
Her voice was so sad talking about her childhood years.. I can't help crying thru this
I'm tearing up just listening to this
she sounds so smart and thoughtful , her life was absolutely awful... how did she survive
Strong minded 😄
She didn't. 😐
@@Chutney1luv You think she was murdered?
@@Chutney1luv Ah, okay.
I would love to hear about it.
@@Chutney1luv I don't think we'll ever know for sure what REALLY happened, but It could of been either that or an overdose. (I think it was an overdose honestly.)
Every child should be born into love. Bless her heart. Poor Lady. Xxx
Fascinating upload. Thank you very much.
Very sad too, especially when Marilyn shared the part about when the other children had gone to bed, she would look out of the window to where her Mother had once worked and it would make her cry, perhaps wondering one day would her life change for the better. So young and such a testing start in life.
:(
The most beautiful voice.
Listen to her singing in some videos, I just love her singing voice ..
What a lovely voice :-) But what a painful, sad childhood!!!♥♥♥
I can't help but feel so much pain and sadness for this most beautiful and kind lady. I wish Marilyn Monroe could've had a normal loving and nurturing family in her life. Maybe her life could've turned out differently ....we will always love her in our own way.
That's so sad . But God gave her a beautiful gift . Her beauty and acting . She will always be timeless . It's so sad that she had to die at such a young age . I know I have heard she was murdered or she commuted suicide. I guess we will never know what really happened to her. It makes you wonder though, if she had had parents that were there for her wonder how her life would have turned out ? I couldn't image leaving my 7 year old child at the movie theater by herself . Of course times might have been different back then . Thanks so much for sharing this.
It’s incredible how some of us can relate to her so very much , not just by admiring her timeless beauty but mostly by her stories 💋
What a true Angle in so many ways xx
Marilyn's voice is so beautiful 😍😢
Such a polite and gracious lady. One of a kind.
Her autobiography is so captivating
She was the most beautiful woman inside and out
😔 this woman really suffered a lot... and a lot of it was in silence.
Very sad but not a rare story for a child in care this is why they become so scared for the rest of their life. She did rise above it all but never truly recovered. Looked for approval all of her life and never found what she really needed parents.
i love the legend of this woman. 😪😘😘
Thank you SO much for adding this story about Marilyn Monroe - So sad really but we can learn a lot from her for sure.
Thanks again !
OceanSound100 Doesn't she sound like Michael Jackson? I think he spoke like her. I know he liked her very much and had a mannequin of her in his room. I used to wonder why, but when i hear about her childhood, I understand why. He related to and empathised with little Norma Jean, that was behind the glamorous icon.
And now imagine, there’s millions of kids who have to go through this or even worse than what happened to Marilyn :(
I went to forster care from 8yrs to 28yrs so yes as a man it still to this day or when I see a famous celebrity like herself it makes me wonder that I'm not the only one who has experienced something like this
It's amazing she accomplished what she did considering her challenging, lonely and chaotic childhood. Yes, she was beautiful but there are countless people as attractive, or more so, who never distinguish themselves in any way. Nice to her hear telling her story in her unaffected voice.
I just want to hold her in my arms and love her and give her the biggest deepest, hugs as a friend I would have checked in on her often making sure she was ok,she seemed to be surrounded by Predatory Men she needed strong supportive female friends who had her back,Stood up for her 💙💙Rip beautiful Angel 💙💙💙💙💙💙
This is exactly the story of my life my aunt raised me since I was 5 and the only time I told her mom she said to me don’t call mom and she was hit me all the time and even I’m 25now I still have that pain of growing up abused and lonely
Ange La She was daunted by the responsibility; she was looking twenty years ahead and it frightened her. This doesn't change the fact that she damaged you terribly with her insensitivity. You had to learn that it was nothing to do with who you are, your personality or appearance. You will have simply thought yourself unworthy of love. My best friend at school lost her Mum at 11. Her sister was even younger and occasionally, in desperation called her "Mummy". My friend snapped at her. I thought she was being cruel, but I now understand her reaction. It was fear.
aerialkate I have always felt I’m unworthy of love and I kept run away if I find guy who really loves me and I didn’t understand why and I didn’t even know how to describe that feeling but finally I realize I don’t feel I deserve anything not only love but everything now days I feel I don’t even deserve to live
Ange La You have to interrupt yourself when you're having those thoughts and tell yourself that what you're feeling is how you've been programmed to think in childhood. You have to de-program yourself and instead think logically. We are all warned that nobody ever "completes" us anyway. As Iylana said when asked if she believes in soul mates: "Yes, I am my own soul mate." Be good to yourself. You 100% deserve to be happy.
aerialkate thank u so much my eyes tear up while I’m reading what u wrote for me thank u
Ange La Good luck!
I could relate to Marilyn Monroe in so many ways. I didn’t had a father figure, my mother was and is still is mentally unstable. I felt what she felt when she was in a psych ward. To me it felt like I had no control over my life, and I felt vulnerable and in my lowest point. I feel sympathy for her.
Imagine leaving a child in a movie theater for an entire day......I suppose child abuse was not understood in those days.
My mother used to leave me all alone at home all day at the age of 4 while she went to work and my father had mostly jobs where he had to work out of town for weeks on end ..
Marilyn only disclosed certain aspects. Those foster kid siblings really molested her and did some serious damage.
Davan Mani so sick and sad
sweet sweet Lady .....you´re was an real star .....I know you watch from haven and could see how much your fans are loving you ! R I P never forget !
I'm crying now I started weeping so heartbreaking it's sad such beauty
Such a beautiful little girl!

A very confused woman....yet, I admire her a lot for all she had overcome and achieved ...
It's a cruel world we live in. Marilyn Monroe never belonged here.
Not true, its the hate towards her that doesnt belong here.
She just wanted what everyone wants LOVE and a Family. Beautiful woman
I don't get it; Such a beautiful child she was, so why on Earth didn't anyone want to adopt her?! I would have adopted her in a second. Weird.
Have you adopted anyone?
@@lepetitchat123 WTF Business is it of yours???
Suenette Edwards you would only adopt someone famous
Times were different back then. People were very cruel.
Cowie Thomas still cruel today. Humans will always be cruel
Wow,I did not know much about Marilyn Monroe, listening to her tell her story I'm sad and amazed at the same time, to become the most famous star in the world is a miracle, it meant to happen, she will always remain loved.
Such a dragical childhood and since then always surching for love.
What the heck kind of a word is " dragical " no such word in existance. Maybe you mean tragic ..
MM was such an adorable little girl too, amazing that she remained a foster child instead of being adopted.
As someone stated a few times further up, ~ her mother never signed anything to have her adopted out, so that is why she had bounced around from foster home to foster home ..
That girl was intelligent and had a good heart. She was a victim of circumstance and will be resurrected to a paradise earth where Jehovah will give her a chance like so many others to worship him and be a Christian example eventually if she chooses to do so, to live forever on earth.
Rebecca Smith I agree - a resurrection is on the cards, and who knows how MM will react. I hope she'll accept God and live eternally in peace.
I always saw Marilyn as my grandmother and imagined her as such🤍 I love her so so much with all my heart and I am beyond sad and hurt that she experienced al this. I just want to give her the biggest most warmest hug and tell her how strong she is and that she is never alone and will always be loved. She is absolutely wonderful and I cried a little watching this video…may her beautiful soul rest in peace and find happiness and love forever❤️ I love her so so much.
Really a terribly sad story, Marilyn as icon is a type of glory but she seems shrouded in tragedy. Quite obviously an intelligent and sensitive person who projected beauty physically and spiritually. I have never seen her films, and can't wait. x
It's amazing that she lived as long as she did
She was a beautiful soul
Even saving her penny up to buy presents at Xmas for her friends ❤️
Very nice hear tell her story in her own words can't help but think how terrible childhood she had its amazing she made it as far as she did . Such a beautiful soul and she was treated so unfairly in life and used by so many that she actually cared for her .
I love this; thank you for uploading. Marilyn is my idol 💗
I miss her ,even tough I never seen her or havened live in her time or when she was dead . She seams like a she was a beautiful ,kind hearted Lady . such a sad story ,if she was my girl ,I'd spoil her a lot 😢😢😢😍 #RIP we miss you
And bec she lost her parents and relatives everyone took advantage on her through her short life, the bosses at the entertainment industry, the politicians and all those crappy people around, I feel so sad for her
Very much enjoyed this!!
Why can’t adults realize how their words affect kids so strongly?… it feels like so many adults are jaded through hardship and they pass that brutality of words onto children, not realizing how damaging the delivery is. Sensitivity in language would at least lessen the harshness of reality to a child who is trying to comprehend things beyond their age and understanding.
I just wanna give her a hug. That poor woman.
It's so sad, she is a good woman ♥️❤️
This is so sad, makes me want to cry rest in the arms of Angels, Marilyn. ❤️
Her voice is so soft and truthful, like someone mentioned here as a child because she never really got to be a child, I feel like. Always longing for love and sincere comfort. I didn't know this about her, to hear her makes me sad all that she lived is nothing to what her photos and scenes show. It truly was a show, how sad.
I can't believe how much her childhood was like mine.. How fascinating..
🌹
So sad 😞 the way she was shipped here and there to various Foster parents. She never really had a childhood of any kind of happiness. She sounds so forgiving of the way she was treated by them. Imagine leaving a child alone for the day at the movies 🎥 sad.
I've always loved you Marilyn,and felt a kinship and empathy even as a child,I will always keep a good thought for you honey, I know how it feels to be abandoned by your own parents,may you rest in peace beautiful one
