"I read poetry to save time." — Marilyn Monroe

In reaching adulthood, Monroe "lost count" of the number of abortions and miscarriages that had occurred throughout her life. She had a strong desire to have a baby. She had possibly fabricated many stories about giving birth to a baby boy but having either the authorities take him away, or giving him up for adoption. She claimed "I hugged and kissed him.. I just kept touching him. I couldn't believe he was my baby.. But the doctor and a nurse came in with Grace (her guardian).. They took my baby from me.. and I never saw him again.." Regardless of the truth, Monroe's life was obviously was focused on fairy-tales and the desire to become "wonderful."
