7. Marilyn Monroe

The iconic actress and major sex symbol of the 1950s and 60s was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but eventually used the stage name, Marilyn Monroe. Monroe’s biological mother, an unmarried Hollywood film-editing assistant named Gladys Baker, was mentally unstable and was committed to an institution early in Monroe’s life. Monroe bounced from foster home to foster home until she was 11, when she went to live with Grace McKee Goddard, a family friend.
