Continuing on our theme of orphans that became famous.  These three ladies lost their parents early in life, but went on to achieve fame as adults.

Marilyn Munroe
Placed in foster care by her mother as a baby, Marilyn was made a ward of the state at the age of 7. She then spent her childhood being raised by a mix of family members, foster homes and an orphanage.  Marilyn married at the age of 16 to get out of the care system, and became one of the most famous actresses of all time.

Eleanor Roosevelt
Roosevelt's mum died when she was 8 years of age, and her father passed away the following year.  She was raised by her maternal grandmother.   Roosevelt is the longest serving First Lady of the United States; she regularly made public appearances and shaped the role of the First Lady.

Ingrid Bergman
By the age of 13, Bergman had lost her parents and was raised by various family members.  In the years prior to her father passing away, he had Bergman take voice lessons as his desire was that she became an Opera star.  But Bergman knew 'from the beginning' that she wanted to be an actress.    She became known as a unique actress who was completely natural in style.
