James Daugherty, the first of Marilyn Monroe's three husbands

James Dougherty, the first of Marilyn Monroe's three husbands, has written a book, "The Secret Happiness of Marilyn Monroe,” refuting much material printed about her in the past. Daugherty, a retired Los Angeles police officer, didn't know Marilyn, the movie star. He writes about Norma Jean Mortenson, a sweet faced 20-year-old when they were married in 1942..(UPI Photo/Handout/Files)
