Regarding her first marriage, “s.e.x symbol” Marilyn Monroe was only 16 years old when she decided to marry a man named James Dougherty (21 years old) in 1942.

Marilyn Monroe’s real name at that time was Norma Jeane Mortenson. She had an uneventful childhood when she constantly had to change places of residence, sometimes living with her biological mother, sometimes being sent to familiar families to raise her, and sometimes having to live in an orphanage.

The reason for this is because Marilyn’s mother did not have enough financial capacity and mental health stability to be able to raise her child. Finally, at the age of 16, Marilyn decided to get married early to have a stable home after years of constantly changing places of residence. Four years later, Marilyn divorced to pursue modeling and acting, because her husband did not support her pursuing this work.

This marriage took place with much youthful impetuosity. Kim admitted that she was not conscious at the time of deciding to get married. Kim decided to get married without even asking her relatives’ opinions. This marriage only lasted 3 years before Kim filed for divorce. Kim later said that her first marriage was very unstable and that she was physically abused.

On New Year’s Eve 1953, Joe proposed to Marilyn, the female star agreed, they got married in January 1954, everything happened very simply.

When entering this marriage, Marilyn made a strange request, that if she passed away before Joe, could Joe put fresh flowers on her grave every week. Joe promised to do it. A few years later, Joe would fulfill this tragic promise.

Even after marrying Marilyn, Joe still felt insecure about his wife’s job. He always tried to persuade and influence Marilyn to quit her job. Their relationship broke down when Joe acted violently towards Marilyn after witnessing a “mischievous” wind on the set of “The Seven Year Itch” causing… the hem of his wife’s dress to fly away.

5,000 people were present to see Marilyn filming on the streets of New York, then suddenly a gust of wind blew up the hem of the beauty’s dress. Unfortunately, Joe was also there and witnessed it all. Jealousy arose, then a big argument broke out between Joe and Marilyn, he acted violently towards her.

But this marriage quickly developed problems because Marilyn had a miscarriage and had difficulty having children. Marilyn broke down after reading a page in Miller’s diary about his disappointment in his marriage.
