Marilyn Monroe had a stutter

Marilyn Monroe showed that she has a voice quality of a star, from “The Seven Year Itch” to “Some Like it Hot." But it wasn't always as simple for her to say. She began to stutter at a young age, and a speech therapist advised her to use a throaty tone to get over her problem. She was known for that voice, although she never entirely recovered from stuttering. It became a mark throughout her career, even provoking the anger of a director when she stutter-read a line on at least one occasion.

This disability may be attributed to her unlucky childhood. Marilyn Monroe spent roughly 16 months with one family, during which time she suffered sexual assault. She became shy, frightened, and even stuttered as a result of this event. In 1935, Monroe moved and lived with a different family; two families later, she was put in a Los Angeles orphanage.

Monroe did not enjoy life there, sadly, because she felt abandoned. Her foster mother was appointed as her legal guardian. Her early life experiences inspired her to pursue acting. To get her out of the foster homes, she used to be taken to the movies. She cherished the career of performing because it allowed her to escape reality.
