Norway places & views # 13: Marilyn Monroe statue in Haugesund

A tribute to a star - but did Marilyn have Norwegian roots?

I was surprised to find a Marilyn Monroe statue in Norway's town Haugesund which is located at the Norwegian coast between cities Bergen and Stavanger.

 

Background: Marilyn Monroe's birth name was "Mortensen". In Haugesund a statue remembers her possible Norwegian roots but still today it is unclear who was her father.
