Being young and pretty Miss Gladys Baker, as she was mostly called, did not want to raise a infant, so she fostered Marilyn out to a family named Hawthorne for $5.00 a week.
Times were fast in Hollywood and she wanted to play. She had a job as a film cutter at Columbia studios and dreamed of getting a rich husband and big house and told her daughter someday she would take her home.

She was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic, the same disease that destroyed her parents and brother. Her daughter would not live with her mother for almost twelve more years and this second attempt at a family was almost as bad as the first and after seven month, Marilyn moved and Mother asked to be sent back to the asylum.
After this Marilyn was to start to become well known and told the press both of her parents were dead.
When the deception was uncovered Marilyn said that she was lying to protect her invalid mom and to guard there new found relationship.
