| | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Marilyn Monroe - Early life Marilyn Monroe was born on June 1, 1926 in the charity ward of the Los Angeles County Hospital. Her registered name was Norma Jeane Mortenson, but her grandmother, Della Monroe Grainger, later had her baptized as Norma Jeane Baker. For a while most biographers believed her biological father was very likely to be Charles Stanley Gifford, a salesman for the studio where Monroe's mother, the late Gladys Pearl Monroe Baker Eley, worked as a film-cutter. However her birth certificate lists Norwegian Martin Edward Mortenson as her biological father, and in later years some biographers have leaned towards believing tha ...

| | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Marilyn Monroe - Career While her husband was away fighting in the Second World War, the young Norma Jeane began work in a factory spraying airplane parts with fire retardant. A young army photographer, David Conover, on the orders of his superior officer, Ronald Reagan, scouted local factories taking photos of pretty girls to boost soldier morale. He immediately saw her potential as a model and she was soon signed by The Blue Book modelling agency. She became one of their most successful models, appearing on hundreds of magazine covers. In 1946 she came to ...

| | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Architecture of the California missions - Construction methods The earliest projects had a layer of streambed stones arranged as a foundation, upon which the adobes were placed. Later, stone and masonry were used for foundation courses, which greatly added to the bearing capacity of the brickwork. Aside from superficial leveling, no other ground preparation was done before construction started.
There is some evidence to indicate that the initial structures at some of the outposts were produced by setting wooden posts close together and filling the interstitial spaces with clay. At completion, the ...

| | | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Marilyn Monroe - Death and aftermath Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Brentwood, California home on August 5, 1962, by her live-in housekeeper Mrs. Eunice Murray. She was thirty-six. Her death was apparently caused by an overdose of barbiturates, although as with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, several theories have sprung up around the circumstances. Most try to make a case for murder due to her connection with the Kennedy family (John F. Kennedy in particular) and there has also been speculation about the relationship between Mrs. Murray, Monroe's p ...

| | | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Bessie Smith - Rumors surrounding her death Shortly after her death, Hammond stirred up controversy by suggesting, in a Down Beat article, that Smith was refused admittance to a white hospital and that she died as a consequence thereof. It was an unsubstantiated rumor that lingered for decades, fueled by Edward Albee's 1959 play The Death of Bessie Smith. Although made aware of the facts, and shown the evidence, Hammond never recanted his story. It was only when biographer Chris Albertson's 1972 book Bessie featured an interview with the attending doctor, Hugh Smi ...

| | | | | biographer: Encyclopedia II - Elvis Presley - Relationships No entertainer has ever had his life and intimate relationships examined in as much detail as has Elvis Presley. Even the FBI had a file on him of more than 600 pages. He has been the subject of over 718 books (and counting), including two by his only wife, Priscilla Beaulieu Presley (whom he married on May 1, 1967) and several others by former girlfriends including June Juanico. Since his death many claims to relationships have been made by women who were no more than acquaintances or had short term affairs which were exaggerated for personal gain.
