 Goodbye, Norma Jean Review (1976)
Norma Jean has dreams of escaping her drab life and becoming a movie star, as she believes she has both the looks and talent but in the meantime she spends all her spare time at the cinema.
Norma Jean (the lisping Rowe, not a great looky likey, affects a breathy voice and surprised delivery for her impersonation) gets her own place and finds a job in a factory, but on the way to work one day she is stopped for speeding by a traffic cop who takes her address.
Goodbye, Norma Jean is not for fans of Marilyn Monroe unless they really enjoy her posthumous victim status, and the film could have been called anything for all the connection it has to the star.

As Norma Jean Baker approached the age of fourteen, she started seeing her self image as more than a girl who was “a lanky, over-tall school girl” (Guiles 60).

 1930 Census--Marilyn Monroe-Norma Jean Baker   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The Marilyn Monroe Facts Page at http://marilynmonroepages.com/facts.html indicates that Marilyn (formerly Norma Jean Baker) lived with the family of Albert Bolander at 459 E Rhode Island St., Hawthorne, CA, from 1926-32, which is the address of this enumeration (noted on the side of the page).
Baker, went to Kentucky after his divorce from Gladys and this Norma Jean Baker is not his mother.
It seems really coincidental that Marilyn Monroe (formerly Norma Jean Baker) lived with the Bolanders in the late 1920s and early 1930s and yet there is ANOTHER older Norma Jean Baker enumerated in their household and younger Norma Jean Baker is somehow omitted.

 to Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie - free chapter one
To the world, she was and always will be Marilyn Monroe, but to me, she was Norma Jeane Baker who happily became Norma Jeane Dougherty, taking my name because she so desperately wanted to be a family, to belong to someone forever, someone who would love her always and would not leave her heart.
Norma Jeane was just two weeks into her l6th year in 1941 when we exchanged our vows and promised to love each other until our deaths.
But, when they beckoned to her, the Hollywood people told Norma Jeane she couldn’t be married, because back then young ladies only became pregnant when married, (or at least were supposed to, but didn’t always, just like today) and of course, as a young starlet, she could not be pregnant.

Volatile, delusional, chain-smoking and sometimes setting the sheets on fire, she delivers endless apocalyptic rants based on serendipitous reading and a thousand movies.
The reader (and little Norma Jeane, aka Norma Jean, as well) become transfixed, especially as Mortensen tells the terrified and adoring child on her sixth birthday that her father has promised to return and "claim" her.
He never does, of course, though Monroe waits all her life and calls all her husbands "Daddy." Or, more ominously, he's there all the time, in the movie reality at the back of her mind that always threatens to overwhelm her grip on everyday events.
