Dead in Hollywood is a true-crime web series of strange and tragic Hollywood deaths.
Go behind the sign to Catalina Island where Norma Jeane gave birth to Marilyn Monroe. In 1942, the future Marilyn Monroe spent a year and a half on the island as a teenage housewife. Why do historians leave off this life changing year of Monroe’s life?

Before she was Marilyn Monroe, she was Norma Jeane Daughtry. At 16, Norma Jeane has two options: Ship off to yet another orphanage, or marry the boy-next-door and set sail for Catalina - an island off the coast of Southern California. Norma Jeane is no dumb blonde - she isn’t even a blonde. According to Norma Jeane's soon-to-be-husband, James Daughtry, the island paradise is where Marilyn Monroe is born. In an interview, Dougherty says: “I would marvel at how she’d ‘turn on’ when she was walking and knew men were looking at her. She’d do ‘the walk’ seen later in millions of her films, but back then, she was just learning to do it, and she was very, very good at it!”
