Maybe, but it would have been a few generations back. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson and was raised under the name Norma Jeane Baker. Marilyn's birth certificate names Martin E. Mortensen as her father, however her mother had separated from him before her pregnancy and she immediately changed Marilyn's name to Baker, the name of her first husband. Throughout her life, Marilyn denied her father was Mortensen.
Marilyn identified Charles Stanley Gifford, a studio co-worker of her mother, as her real father. Gifford had a largely New England ancestry that was mostly English. If Marilyn had Irish ancestors, they would probably be on her mother's side.
