Her real name was Nancy Cusumano, and she had a daughter Nancy, out of wedlock before she was famous hence Norma, her daughter was raised by her sister Jennie, Jean, and her mother's brother's were bakers by trade.....norma jean baker.

then they used that and glamorized it to Marilyn Monroe, having to do i think with the monroe doctrine to prevent European rule as both her parents were born in Italy at a time just after world war 2
