Actress Marilyn Monroe's birth certificate says Mortensen, her mother's ex husband, is her father. However, she also went through live being called Norma Jeane Baker, Baker being the surname of her mother's first husband and that of her half siblings.
Some books suggest that the search for her birth father was ongoing in Marilyn's life others that her mother first revealed a photo of him to her daughter on her fifth birthday. It turns that due to a DNA test in which strand's of Marilyn's hair from her mortician and the saliva of a great grand-daughter of a man named Charles Stanley Gifford are a match. Gifford was for a time a supervisor at the company where Marilyn's mother was a film cutter, Consolidated fims.
