I have loved Marilyn Monroe since I was just a little girl. She is my favorite actress in the whole world. There will never be anyone else like her in the history of the world. No one will ever come close to having her beauty and her genuine heart.
What a treat!....to be able to actually see inside the orphanage that Marilyn lived in. This orphanage was written about in many books on Marilyn...thank you Jordan for bringing it to life for us.
I love to hear about the life history of the Woman every man wanted and every woman wanted to be!!! She had a very sad childhood. Her Mother was mentally ill and she was institutionalized for the greater part of Marilyn's childhood. She also lived with a friend of Marilyn's Mother, Grace and her husband. She was in the orphanage that is being discussed here. She was also in several foster homes. She married her 1st husband when she was just 16 years old to escape from her life in foster homes. She became Norma Jean Daughtry. He went off to the navy and Marilyn was alone much of the time. They divorced and Marilyn Monroe started her road to becoming an actress. She did modeling, commercials and she posed nude on a red blanket to make her rent money. She was not a well known actress at this point. She started meeting with the right people, and the studios began to take notice of her. Marilyn Monroe was born!!! Her auburn locks were bleached platinum blonde, Marilyn loved the color of Jean Harrlow's hair. She was almost an instant star. She was the sex symbol of her Era, she started getting bigger and better roles. She married twice, First to baseball legend, Joe Dimmagio. They divorced after 9 months. Joe wanted Marilyn to walk away from her Hollywood life, he didn't approve of it. She loved acting and wanted to return to what she had wanted her entire life. She then married writer Arthur Miller. She and Miller were expecting a child, sadly Marilyn had a miscarriage. She wanted to be a Mother desperately. She had never carried a baby full term. Marilyn also had difficulty with mental illness and addiction to pills given to her by doctors. She was very addicted to barbiturates, such as nebutal, phenobarbital and other pills like sleeping pills. She also took pills to get her going, to give her energy. She drank when she took them too. She was also on antidepressants. She wanted to please everyone. She wanted so badly to be happy and loved. She was a very intelligent woman and a talented actress. She left us far too soon. Marilyn was just 36 years old when she passed away. I don't believe it was at her own hand. I don't think they investigated her death as throughly as they should have. There were some many contradictions and things that were not explained when she died. So much didn't make sense?? I don't think they wanted to delve into it it as deeply as they could have because of the ties Marilyn had to some powerful people. I don't think we will ever know exactly what happened that very sad night. Only one Marilyn and God know. Anyone else who knew the truth is long gone. Joe Dimmagio took care of Marilyn's funeral. He banned anyone from Hollywood from attending her funeral. He swore that Hollywood had killed her. Joe Dimmagio put roses on Marilyn's grave until he died. Her life and legacy will live on forever. Woman still try to copy Marilyn's stunning look. They dye their hair, and they try to style it like she did. They try to walk like her and talk like her. She was one of a kind!!! There will only ever be one Marilyn Monroe. Rest In Peace Marilyn 🙏 you were loved and adored, you are and always will be loved forever ❤️
That was nice of them to let you up there where her room was. Pretty neat to see things through her perspective. I do like how they have chosen to keep her memory alive and in return it helps them out.
So sad that Marilyn had to go to an orphanage but look at the positive things that have happened to said orphanage and all the help they are able to give through MM fans donating and gifting. Nice photos Jordan nice vlog ! thank you. :-)
Aww.. I always look forward to seeing Jah play with his buddies at the dog park. Such a great vlog on Marilyn M. orphanage & Chaplin acting studio history. Thanks Jordan for making my day. ❤️❣️🐕🦺🌴🌈
You blew it out of the park !!!! Wow! I love Marylin Monroe- adore her! And find it particular kind that for Christmas the organization takes on to collect toys for tots/ kids on as a contribution to kids that could really find joy playing with them. Kids who very much deserve a toy . I find the program very kindhearted and warm and I am still very grateful for people caring so much for kids in need so much. Even better that MM’s spirit is still making sure that her kindness is roaming throughout these walls and her unique wärm gentleness keeps on giving good deeds.i really loved this vlog on a personal note- Marylin is my personal favorite. I feel such a strong kinship to her. Her loving contribution keep on giving. Such a warm & kind vlog. Thank you! 🙏🏼👼🏼🥰
Marilyn was also a beautiful child, wow, all those foster families she was passed around to had no idea they had a future star in their midst! I bet they were surprised to see what became of little Norma Jean Baker! Very well done Jordan, thanks so much!
I was thinking the same thing. I guess there is a limitation that his vlogs are of interest primarily just to Los Angeles residents, but really anybody can enjoy them. He does a great job and is such a likeable person, and I am seriously considering kidnapping his adorable little dog!
Jah is handsome as heck! Hearing the kids playing in the background playing sounding so happy, while reading the blurb about MM at the family services center (former orphanage) was really a cool touch!
That is amazing to see where Marilyn lived as an orphan. It really makes it so much more real to get an understanding of her as a person underneath the whole stardom thing. I like how you trying and show the perspective through her eyes and what she saw. Awesome!!!!
That’s really nice that they celebrate her memory there. Marilyn, IMO had a tender soul, and I think she’d be glad that people remember her by helping an organization that helps children and families.
It's crazy to think about Norma Jean looking out that orphanage window to the RKO tower thinking of her mom and dreaming of becoming a star while Charles Chaplin had that prop house right across the street, it's freakin amazing. Marilyn had an extraordinary yet brief life and no biopic would do her justice, thank you for this vlog 👍
Well kudos to you you actually get inside these places I don’t know anybody else who’s ever been able to do that it says a lot for your temperament and your personality and your intent you do all these was very much of an appreciative loving look at what all of us are hoping and dreaming of too. so thank you for that I applaud your efforts and also give you an A+ gold star 100 for everything from your video to your presentation to sharing your personal life to your merchandise and just for doing this so thank you!
Wow, how awesome. I've long been interested in the story of Marilyn, and it's so cool to see where she spent part of her childhood. I'm amazed its still there!
Let me start by thanking you the bottom my heart for this video.I'm from România and I'm passionate about the legend Marilyn Monroe, I readuce and documented a lot about he live but it's still not enough.Thank you again for giving me the chance to see the places where she steppet and lived.And let's not forget subscribed. Many greetings from România.😘
When you mentioned that she looked out of that window, I actually had goose bumps! My late Husband was brought up in an orphanage in North Wales UK when he was a little boy. His Father put his Mother in an Asylum and his four children put in orphanages. Very sad!
Thanks for the LA history surrounding the Circle Theater. I especially enjoyed the story of William Schallert and Kathleen Freemen performing on the sidewalk for the orphanage across the street. Although Marilyn had a sad early life, it’s wonderful that she became a success!
Wonderful blog today, Jordan! A dear friend, who has since passed away, lived on El Centro just 2 blocks away from the orphanage. We use to take walks past the place and always say "Hi!" to Marilyn, in homage to her. Loved this one!
Great vlog. I am a fan of Marilyn Monroe's. I went to California for vacation and by reading books I found her last home and her grave sight. It was fun to explore.
Another little piece of Marilyn's history! I saw that big grin on Jah's face when he saw the string cheese. lol Very excited. And, I love that photo of you and Jah.
I’m a huge Marilyn fan so I really enjoyed this video. We drove up to Hollygrove on the Dearly Departed tour but I wouldn’t of thought you can go in. This organization seems to be doing great things for families in need. I think Marilyn would be proud knowing she’s helping. From what i’ve researched she was a very caring and sensitive person. Your videos are addicting. i’ve been watching so many and you make it so interesting. keep up the great work!
Cool prop house story. I always enjoyed Charlie Chaplin movies. I was watching something about Marilyn today. Sad ending to such a rollercoaster life. Very well done look into her young days. I can't get over the water tower story and star dreams. Only in Hollywood right? Thanks Jordan!
Awesome and I won't forget you showed us Marilyn's Mother's place she stayed at. Wish i got to meet Shelley when she was in NJ filming King of the Gypsies.
Great vlog. Glad fans of Marilyn;s help Uplift Family Services in her memory. I think that would really make her happy. Kathleen Freeman was a favorite actress of Jerry Lewis He just loved her. He put her in every movie he did. Love the picture of you and Jah. Thanks for the great vlog and will be waiting for tomorrow's. Take care.
Hey Jordan this is Nikki from Indianapolis Indiana, and I have been following you for a couple years now and from someone that doesn’t travel or go very many places when you tell a story or when your blogging you almost make me feel like I’m there you are like a friend in my head, I’ve always been into the old Hollywood scene reading up on it looking at old movies and Flix but I enjoy you so much!!!! Your videos are so informative and entertaining I would love some day to take a visit to California and just sit and talk to you and hear all of your stories and all the knowledge that you have about Hollywood. Again thank you so much for what you do and keep doing it.
What a lovely vlog Jordan! How lovely that the orphanage has a tribute to Marilyn being there, and an original sign! Funny, from one of the MOST REAL HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, one of the most famous Hollywood star's EVER came about!!! Great vlog Jordan.
I am constantly amazed Jordan how you show us Hollywood history. How wonderful that good folks try and help with money and presents in memory of Marilyn Monroe, and her time spent in this place as a child. As usual a fascinating vlog.
Great vlog! I remember when you took us to the orphanage so it did make it more real to look out of the actual window. That is wonderful that the Uplift does this homage to Marilyn after all of these years. So Grandma must have started the string cheese craze for Jah! He looked so tickled to get some! What a character! He is such a cutie! And welcome home Jordan!
Thank you for keeping the magic of old tinsel town alive... 😊 Heritage and knowing your history is important... as i am watching this video (and other video’s of yours) I recognise a lot from these videos from another life (reincarnation) I have Walked these streets before, and a remembrance is coming forward the more i watch the these videos.
I lived there from 1977 til 1980. Cottage 2,3 and 5. Went camping a lot and learned to boogie board there. Camped at morrow bay. And at Zumba beach I think. Compared to pacific lodge and 5 acres. I had not may bad experiences.
I can't stop watching your videos after subscribing. Ive learned so much about my favorite celebrities that i never knew about. You're awesome and thank you for all you do. Btw, Jah is so cute!
What a great vlog Jordan, I'm sure learning a lot about Marilyn's life that you probably can't read about in books. It's so nice that some places still want to keep old Hollywood alive and well. Interesting to see the two theaters across the street from the orphanage, I'm sure if the actors came out on the street afterwards, it would give the children something to look forward to in their otherwise humdrum lives. I hope (and I'm sure they did) well in their lives. Thanks Jordan and a big shout out to Jah! I hope he didn't eat all that cheese at once.
I can visualize a young Norma Jean watching and dreaming of stardom while gazing out of one of the orphanage windows. I'm betting it helped keep her dream aliive too! How awesome that the stars took the time to entertain the chilfren from the street! 😊 It probably meant the world to the children too!
Another great one Jordan, I'll always have a special interest in Miss Norma Jean, getting to see these extra history bits is always appreciated, thanks!
Great merch - love the one with you, Breck and Jah. Norma Jean grabs my attention immediately - this volg was no exception! Loved this interesting and educational vlog. Jah is a heart breaker.
Thank you for sharing info on helping the foster kids. Poor Marilyn....9 foster placements in 2 years is So tramatic for a 9 year old girl. Its so important to empower and advocate for these kids. I work with foster youth, so they have a special place in my ❤. The Jahster was adorable....as usual!!! 🙄 I love the new Jahster tee, wish I had one.
Wow. You really did a great job with this vlog. I never knew the old orphanage house was still standing. Unbelievable how many foster homes Norma Jean was placed in, in such a short time. Really made my heart break for her. I have heard the story of Norma Jean looking out at the water tower from her bed room window. Knowing her mother worked there when it was RKO and wishing she could be with her. When you were standing at the window it actually gave me goose bumps. Thank You so much. I really enjoyed this video. Your a natural at this vlogging makes me think about starting to vlog but I hate the sound of my voice. LoL. Thanks again.
I hope they never tear those buildings down I really hope they renovate that whole building and turn both of those buildings into museums those buildings are part of our history
I love that sweet Jau !! My 9 year old bloodhound past away last Monday Nov. 26 . It just broke my heart . 💔😢 Anyway, great vlog about Marilyn Monroe . She was so beautiful, but it always makes me so sad when I hear about her life . When she was young she wasn't loved enough and even though she became such a huge movie star she wasn't loved the way she should have been loved . Nasty old men after one thing . That makes me sick to my stomach and they killed her . It's so sad . She didn't deserve to be treated that way . 😢 But Jordan , I'm glad to see they're doing something good in honor of her . Thanks for sharing.
Awesome vlog Jordan. Very interesting insight on Marilyn. Thanks for the heads up on Sam's gig being released. Thanks for all that you do, and congrats on the subscription milestone. Take care and catch you on the next vlog. Arthur Childs, Oak Harbor, WA. 🙂
That was great Jordan. I really enjoyed this one. I’m a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe. Already looking forward to your next adventure. Thank you for what you do.
Well you have done it again jordan . I love m.m.💝💝💝 such a great vlog i loved the way jah reacted when you said string cheese. My cat likes them as a treat also.🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Hi Jahstar back on ur turf lookin sharp as eva. Whoa!! 9 different family's in such a short span. Then to be standing in front of a theatre years later saying that' she use 2 live in that orphanage. Sureal.
I know this is 4 yrs old, but loved watching it again, and seeing Jah's smile at the end.
She would be so happy that her memory is helping so many.
Marilyn would be proud of how she touched people’s lives. Love the photo of you and Jah.❤😊
It gave me chills to see that the 2 worlds of Marilyn, where she came from and where she made it to, are just 1 street apart, Great vlog, Jordan!
I have loved Marilyn Monroe since I was just a little girl. She is my favorite actress in the whole world. There will never be anyone else like her in the history of the world. No one will ever come close to having her beauty and her genuine heart.

celestine811 hhhbb
Wow, 9 years is a long time. I didn't realize how long she was an orphan. I enjoyed this so much. Thanks man and welcome home.
Yo!
She did have some foster homes she spent time in, but yeah, she basically lived as an orphan because her mother wasn't mentally fit to keep her.
I just ran across ur vlog & I am addicted!! U r truly gifted! I also enjoy ur wonderful devotion 2 ur sweet dog.
So beautifully told and shown Jordan. A real tribute to Marilyn. I love your respect for our loved ones of Hollywood.
Aww.. I always look forward to seeing Jah play with his buddies at the dog park. Such a great vlog on Marilyn M. orphanage & Chaplin acting studio history. Thanks Jordan for making my day. ❤️❣️🐕🦺🌴🌈

I live in central Texas and probably won’t ever see places like you visit just wanted to say thank you for sharing!!
Marilyn was also a beautiful child, wow, all those foster families she was passed around to had no idea they had a future star in their midst! I bet they were surprised to see what became of little Norma Jean Baker! Very well done Jordan, thanks so much!
Good for you Jordan for putting in a plug for Uplift Family Services. It looks like they do good work, and that was very kind of you.
This dude deserves more subscribers
He sure does, he seems to be so genuine! The vlogs aren't all about him either which is fantastic.
Maybe do a bit of advertising on Facebook, etc.
Agreed!
I was thinking the same thing. I guess there is a limitation that his vlogs are of interest primarily just to Los Angeles residents, but really anybody can enjoy them. He does a great job and is such a likeable person, and I am seriously considering kidnapping his adorable little dog!

Wonderful blog today, Jordan! A dear friend, who has since passed away, lived on El Centro just 2 blocks away from the orphanage. We use to take walks past the place and always say "Hi!" to Marilyn, in homage to her. Loved this one!
Awwww...Thank you for this!You shared her alley view with us.I love that❤️❤️
What history. Love M.M. J, I think you may have a book in you! Something on Hollywood history + your time with Shelly.
Very touching video. It's amazing how people are connected in some of the smallest ways.....
How great is that! It’s amazing that her fans give back like that, so that they can help so many others! Great vlog Jordan! Such a feel good story🙂
Great vlog. I am a fan of Marilyn Monroe's. I went to California for vacation and by reading books I found her last home and her grave sight. It was fun to explore.
Thank you so much for showing us this place. I have worked in foster care as a social worker. It is amazing to see this!
I just love Jah!! he is such a stud. I really enjoy watching your vlogs. Keep up the great work.
What a lovely centre for families in mind. 🙂
Another little piece of Marilyn's history! I saw that big grin on Jah's face when he saw the string cheese. lol Very excited. And, I love that photo of you and Jah.

The Marilyn history made me teary. Also you have the most awesome shirts of any and all vlogers!!
Nice video. I like hearing about old Hollywood. And Jah looks happy being back home. Have a great day and thank you.
Cool prop house story. I always enjoyed Charlie Chaplin movies. I was watching something about Marilyn today. Sad ending to such a rollercoaster life. Very well done look into her young days. I can't get over the water tower story and star dreams. Only in Hollywood right? Thanks Jordan!
Awesome and I won't forget you showed us Marilyn's Mother's place she stayed at. Wish i got to meet Shelley when she was in NJ filming King of the Gypsies.
Great vlog. Glad fans of Marilyn;s help Uplift Family Services in her memory. I think that would really make her happy. Kathleen Freeman was a favorite actress of Jerry Lewis He just loved her. He put her in every movie he did. Love the picture of you and Jah. Thanks for the great vlog and will be waiting for tomorrow's. Take care.
Great job Jordan! Thank you so much for this great tribute and peek into MM's early life. HNY!
Hey Jordan this is Nikki from Indianapolis Indiana, and I have been following you for a couple years now and from someone that doesn’t travel or go very many places when you tell a story or when your blogging you almost make me feel like I’m there you are like a friend in my head, I’ve always been into the old Hollywood scene reading up on it looking at old movies and Flix but I enjoy you so much!!!! Your videos are so informative and entertaining I would love some day to take a visit to California and just sit and talk to you and hear all of your stories and all the knowledge that you have about Hollywood. Again thank you so much for what you do and keep doing it.
What a lovely vlog Jordan! How lovely that the orphanage has a tribute to Marilyn being there, and an original sign! Funny, from one of the MOST REAL HUMBLE BEGINNINGS, one of the most famous Hollywood star's EVER came about!!! Great vlog Jordan.
Wow, that sad story followed by the view from her window gave me cold chills. There are some shots that really drive a story home... and you found it.
I am constantly amazed Jordan how you show us Hollywood history. How wonderful that good folks try and help with money and presents in memory of Marilyn Monroe, and her time spent in this place as a child. As usual a fascinating vlog.
Interesting, I especially enjoyed the window view from Marilyn's room where she dreamed of being a star! Powerful!
Great vlog! I remember when you took us to the orphanage so it did make it more real to look out of the actual window. That is wonderful that the Uplift does this homage to Marilyn after all of these years. So Grandma must have started the string cheese craze for Jah! He looked so tickled to get some! What a character! He is such a cutie! And welcome home Jordan!
Thank you for keeping the magic of old tinsel town alive... 😊 Heritage and knowing your history is important... as i am watching this video (and other video’s of yours) I recognise a lot from these videos from another life (reincarnation) I have Walked these streets before, and a remembrance is coming forward the more i watch the these videos.
this is so sad and absolutely adorable at the same time xo
Fantastic vlog. Thanks, Jordan, for the Hollywood history.
Great vlog....loved it! Fascinating to see inside Marilyn's old orphanage!
Great vlog Jordan , I never thought I would see the orphanage MM was in , much less her room !! The places you find are amazing.
Hello, Jordan and Jah. Back home in Jahllywood.
EVEN THOUGH THESES PEOPLE ARE DEAD, THEIR STORIES S ARE TIMELESS AND A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!
An excellent video once again Jordan really interesting ☺
Great Vlog Jordan. It was amazing they allowed you inside thank your so much for your work
It’s amazing to see the RKO tower that she for sure stared at filled with dreams
I was the same age as Marilyn when I went to orphanage. I lived in Santa Barbara before.
Awesome video! Good Job! Fascinating to actually look out the same window that young Norma Jeane did as a child! ✌❤
What a wonderful way to tie the two stories together. Loved it!💞
Keep making more marilyn monroe vlogs and before and now pictures. Thank you
I lived there from 1977 til 1980. Cottage 2,3 and 5. Went camping a lot and learned to boogie board there. Camped at morrow bay. And at Zumba beach I think. Compared to pacific lodge and 5 acres. I had not may bad experiences.
I can't stop watching your videos after subscribing. Ive learned so much about my favorite celebrities that i never knew about. You're awesome and thank you for all you do. Btw, Jah is so cute!
What a great vlog Jordan, I'm sure learning a lot about Marilyn's life that you probably can't read about in books. It's so nice that some places still want to keep old Hollywood alive and well. Interesting to see the two theaters across the street from the orphanage, I'm sure if the actors came out on the street afterwards, it would give the children something to look forward to in their otherwise humdrum lives. I hope (and I'm sure they did) well in their lives. Thanks Jordan and a big shout out to Jah! I hope he didn't eat all that cheese at once.
I got to see the Bolender house in Hawthorn where she spent the first 7 years growing up.
It’s still there, still look the same.
We have an Uplift Family Service’s office where I live in Northern California. 👍🏻
I can visualize a young Norma Jean watching and dreaming of stardom while gazing out of one of the orphanage windows. I'm betting it helped keep her dream aliive too! How awesome that the stars took the time to entertain the chilfren from the street! 😊 It
probably meant the world to the children too!
A really great job on this vlog. When it comes to marrying historic Hollywood to present day Hollywood, few if any can do it better than you do.
Another great one Jordan, I'll always have a special interest in Miss Norma Jean, getting to see these extra history bits is always appreciated, thanks!
MM is fascinating. Love any information about her. This was tatally new for me, so I was doubly excited to watch.
This is wonderful! Wonderful!
Thank you, Jordan, so much for this
Great merch - love the one with you, Breck and Jah. Norma Jean grabs my attention immediately - this volg was no exception! Loved this interesting and educational vlog. Jah is a heart breaker.
Learned a few things about Marilyn today. Enjoyed it immensely! Thanks Jordan!
Thank you for sharing info on helping the foster kids. Poor Marilyn....9 foster placements in 2 years is So tramatic for a 9 year old girl. Its so important to empower and advocate for these kids. I work with foster youth, so they have a special place in my ❤. The Jahster was adorable....as usual!!! 🙄 I love the new Jahster tee, wish I had one.
This is amazing Jordan. Very well done.
William Schallert also played on several episodes of the Andy Griffith show.
Wow. You really did a great job with this vlog. I never knew the old orphanage house was still standing. Unbelievable how many foster homes Norma Jean was placed in, in such a short time. Really made my heart break for her. I have heard the story of Norma Jean looking out at the water tower from her bed room window. Knowing her mother worked there when it was RKO and wishing she could be with her. When you were standing at the window it actually gave me goose bumps. Thank You so much. I really enjoyed this video. Your a natural at this vlogging makes me think about starting to vlog but I hate the sound of my voice. LoL. Thanks again.
Thank you very much, dear friend 💛
I hope they never tear those buildings down I really hope they renovate that whole building and turn both of those buildings into museums those buildings are part of our history
Such a sad story she had..Thanks so much for this one, Jordan.
Awesome video about Marilyn Monroe! Thank you for your awesome videos and Jaw is so cute! :)
I'll be up in Hollywood in a couple weeks and always make a stop to see Marilyn at Westwood Cemetery.
I love that sweet Jau !! My 9 year old bloodhound past away last Monday Nov. 26 . It just broke my heart . 💔😢
Anyway, great vlog about Marilyn Monroe . She was so beautiful, but it always makes me so sad when I hear about her life . When she was young she wasn't loved enough and even though she became such a huge movie star she wasn't loved the way she should have been loved . Nasty old men after one thing . That makes me sick to my stomach and they killed her . It's so sad . She didn't deserve to be treated that way . 😢 But Jordan , I'm glad to see they're doing something good in honor of her . Thanks for sharing.
