Jim Morrison was born on December 8, 1943 in Melbourne, Florida.
Family Members:Jim has a mother named Clara Clarke Morrison, a father named Steve Morrison, a sister named Anne and a brother named Andy. Jim is the oldest of them all while Anne is the middle child and Andy is the youngest. Jim didn’t necessarily have a spouse, but had a few lovers. When he was young, about the age of fourteen, he had a girlfriend named Tandy for a few years. After becoming more famous and popular, he would have as many girlfriends as he pleased.
Childhood/School life:Jim’s father (Steve) served as an executive officer and would travel a lot. When Jim was about six months, his father left to go the pacific to fly hellcats from aircraft carriers. For about three years, Jim and his mother lived with Steve’s parents while his father was out on base. His father then returned in the year of 1946. In 1952, Jim’s father again was sent to Korea while the rest of the family moved to Clairemont, Ca. Between the years of 1955-1957, which Jim was in his seventh to eighth grade years, Jim enrolled in Albuquerque public school. During this time, Jim was gaining interest in music but after 1957, his parents realized that he began losing that interest in it. He would draw unusual and sexual scenes of men instead which was very weird. in 1958, Jim came to Alexandria, Virginia from California. He would stay with his father’s navy friends who had a son just about his age.
Hobbies/Interests:
Jim loved music but lost interest in because of taking lessons. He wanted to do his own thing and learn on his own. He would occasionally write dozens of sexually explicit commercials about problems of “butt-picking and masturbation”. He had odd interests when it came down to drawings as well. On the plus side, he was also a poetic, so he loved to write poetry and would keep a spiral notebook of his observations and thoughts. Reading was also something he loved to do. He had a personal collection of hundreds of books. He began singing as well, which led him to his fame. He would write his own songs and sing in his own unusual way and style. He started to sell albums and began his career from there.

Anecdotes:
When Jim was at the age of twenty one, he had a concert to perform at
in Washington. At this point, Andy was eighteen, Anne was twenty seven
and his father was forty seven. His father was out on base and Jim’s
mother and brother, Andy, decided to fly out to Washington to see Jim’s
concert, while Anne was in Arlington, Virginia. Before flying out to see
him, his mother would constantly try to contact him to keep in touch,
but he would simply have people who worked for him, tell her that he was
never available, because he did not want to speak with her.
While Jim was performing, he could see that his mother Clara and
brother Andy were watching him from backstage. One of the guards kept
telling Jim’s mother that she will see him as soon as his performance
was over. That wasn’t the case. Jim had a habit of pausing in between
his performances to calm the crowd then start back up again to make them
get hyped up and excited. This time, after his short pause, he starts
his song up again by saying “F**K YOU MOTHER!” I was shocked when I read
that. it was unpleasant and completely uncalled for. After his
performance, Jim quickly left the stage and had to leave as soon as
possible to make an appearance in New York on a daily tv show. That was
not the only reason. He simply wanted to avoid seeing his mother as well
and nobody understood why that was.
Career:
Jim Morrison, as a young boy, had many talents and skills. I would guess that this was due to the fact that his father was never around for him to hangout with, so he had lots of free time to do as he pleased. These things such as, drawing graphics, writing poems, listening to music, and keeping journals is what led him to become this rockstar, writer and performer. He began at a very young age and all these skills came in handy later in his life. Jim started a band in his early twenties and his first album titled “ The Doors” sold millions of dollars worth. He would get offers to make appearance and meet with high end writers, editors, radio programmers, etc. With the influence of his father working on base, Jim began writing military songs. The first song was titled “The Unknown Soldier”. His whole bio is based off of how he became famous and the fact that he’s had his talents growing up.

Reason For Fame:
He was a poet, a writer, and mostly famous for his Rock n Roll music.
He began at a very young age then started to show off his fame as he
grew older. He was very well-known and had many tours from place to
place and would also appear on many live shows.
Death:
July 3, 1971 (Jim was now 28), His girlfriend and himself were alone around midnight at home and he began regurgitating blood. He had that issue before, which is why they didn’t take it seriously. Jim decided to take a shower while his girlfriend went to sleep. Around 5am, Pamela noticed that Jim was not in bed. She checks the bathroom and sees that Jim’s dead body is lying in the bathtub. There was no official statement as to why it happened, because no autopsy was taken. From previous medical records, Jim would take lots of drugs and drink lots of alcohol and they believe that this could have been the main reason as to why his body gave out. Although he was very young, the drugs and alcohol affected his body, which made it weak and old.
