• Why didn't Stan accept Norma Jeane as his daughter?
• What was Marilyn's father like?  
• What was it like growing up with the stories and rumors that Marilyn Monroe was a member of the Gifford family? 
• How did Charles Stanley (Chuck) Gifford Jr, Francine's father, react to the rumors?
• Did C. Stanley Gifford ever admit to being Marilyn Monroe's father?
