Well-known people you didn't know had been adopted

Some characters from the entertainment world were adopted when they were little. Perhaps not many know this detail of their private life, also because the characters in question speak little about it.

Among the most sensational cases, that of Marilyn Monroe, who spent the first years of his life in some family homes. A very similar destiny that also binds her to another great actress like Ingrid Bergman, who lost her parents when she was very few years old.

Going back to more recent times, the singer Faith Hill, the Ray Liotta actor and also the famous Michael Bay director were adopted.
