I’d line them up on a plank beside the road and when people drove along, I’d say ‘Wouldn’t you like some whisky?’.” Gladys and her mental health struggles Norma Jeane spent a lot of time on her own, playing with empty whisky bottles: “I must have had the finest collection of bottles any girl ever had. The news left Gladys devastated.ĭuring 1934, her mental health deteriorated. Not long before moving into the new house, Gladys’ grandfather committed suicide, and then her 15-year-old son, Robert, died of tuberculosis of the kidneys. Unfortunately, this new happiness did not last. Gladys bought a piano, and the home was often filled with singing, dancing and music. In 1933, Gladys bought a house, where she and Norma Jeane lived with several lodgers. She was somewhat afraid of Gladys, however, as the woman would rarely make conversation, and often reprimanded her for turning the pages of a book, “too loudly”. When she occasionally visited her mother in Hollywood, Norma Jeane would gaze at a photo of Gifford. Norma Jeane referred to her as “The woman with the red hair”, and on at least one occasion, she was corrected when she called Ida, “Mama”.

While there has always been debate on who the father was, Gladys believed it to be Gifford. In May 1925 Gladys left Mortensen, and that autumn, became pregnant. There, she became friends with a colleague called Grace McKee and, in 1924, married Martin Edward Mortensen, though shortly after began an affair with Charles Stanley Gifford, one of the bosses at Consolidated. A heartbroken Gladys followed her children, but she could not win them back, so returned to Los Angeles, where she worked in the processing lab at Consolidated Film Industries.
