Charles Stanley Gifford (September 18, 1898 – June 27, 1965) was a Folk Figure. He was the biological father of Marilyn Monroe.[1]
Early Life
Charles Gifford was born to Frederick and Lizzie Gifford. Charles Stanley Gifford began working with Gladys Monroe Baker at Consolidated Films, after his wife, Lillian Priester, sued him for divorce. In her divorce petition, Lillian charged Gifford with addiction to narcotics, abuse, and with associating with women of 'low character'. Gifford, a hypershooter and developer at Consolidated, had begun an affair with Gladys earlier that spring. It is believed that Gifford deserted her on Christmas Eve 1925 when she informed him of her pregnancy. Throughout her life, Marilyn always believed that Gifford was her father. He settled in Gilman Hot Springs, Riverside County, California, and became the owner of some cottage apartments. Stan moved to nearby San Jacinto where he was successful in founding and operating the Red Rock Dairy in the 1960s with a drive-through window in the front where customers could obtain dairy products without getting out of their cars. According to employees, it seemed Marilyn would do just that on occasion while en route to Palm Springs, California, while riding in her chauffeur-driven limo, thus forcing the unbelieving father to fill her order.
