business. "I realize it takes more thought to
raise a child in show business," Marilyn
said, "but it doesn't need to work out badly.
Look at Walter Huston's son John (director
of "The Misfits'). No one can complain about
how he turned out."
Because of the early hardships she ex
perienced, Marilyn is conscious that she
may easily go overboard in the other direc
tion and spoil her child with too much af
fection as well as material things. She be
lieves that "you can't give a child too much
love," but she knows that you have to be
careful how you show it, as with presents.
Marilyn remembers many barren Christ
mases in foster homes particularly the
time she was living with a family made up
entirely of women and girls. On holidays
the other girls were given gay red dresses,
while hers was a hand-me-down brown
one. Another year, other children un
wrapped dolls and similar elaborate toys,
but Marilyn had to be content with a 10
cent manicure set
Her concern for selecting the "right" type
of gifts was already evident when she was
in England to film "The Prince and the
Showgirl" over three years ago. To get
presents for her stepchildren, she spent two
hours in a toy store and tried out most of
the toys herself.
Remembrances of her many foster par
ents who wielded heavy hands have
influenced Marilyn's attitude toward disci
pline. Since the time when a blow sent her
reeling across the room, she has been deter
mined never to spank her child. Discipline
will involve the taking away of privileges,
but Marilyn will make a special effort to see
that she is fair. Too vivid is the memory of
her birthday when someone gave her a card
and a 50-cent piece.
"Give me that," her foster mother cried
out when she saw the money.
"But it's mine," Marilyn protested.
"You dirtied your dress today, so I'll have
to take this away as your punishment," the
woman came back, and Marilyn could do
nothing but watch her 50 cents disappear
into the woman's pocket
Marilyn's child, of course, will not go
without anything he needs and will have
many "extras." Marilyn remembers when
she was about eight years old and wanted
a bicycle quite badly. "But it was impossible
to get one because I didn't have the money,
and there were no jobs, such as baby-sitting,
in the neighborhood," she explained.
Her first real job for money came when
she was living at the orphanage at the
age of nine. She set tables for five cents a
month and later washed dishes for 10 cents,
but all the money went into a fund to buy
"practical" gifts such as pencils and note
books for the other children at the orphanage.
In addition to her own unhappy child
hood, Marilyn has had to face up to mental
illness in her family. In 1934, when Mari
lyn's mother was committed to an institu
tion for the second time, Marilyn learned
that both her mother's parents had been in
mental hospitals and an uncle had com
mitted suicide. There was one incident that
still haunts her above all others.
One day, when she was about eight,
Marilyn decided to run around the block
just for the fun of it Some boys stopped her
and wanted to know what she was doing,
but another said, "Don't bother her. She's
iust like her mother crazy "
It was one of the cruel barbs of youth,
but it could have affected Marilyn's attitude
toward motherhood. Instead, her own de
termination has eliminated fears that she
may someday face similar problems with
her own child. It is ironic and sad that much
credit for this goes to Arthur Miller.
So now, even in personal tragedy, Marilyn
Monroe looks forward hopefully to playing
the part that means most to her mother.
