In 1943, Dougherty joined the Merchant Marines (where he served alongside Robert Mitchum). He was ordered to boot camp on Santa Catalina Island, California, then sent overseas in 1944. Norma Jeane started to work for Radioplane Company, where she was discovered. She moved out of her mother-in-law's home and stopped writing to Dougherty. She filed for divorce in Las Vegas, Nevada; it was finalized on September 13, 1946. Dougherty married Patricia Scoman in 1947, and joined the LAPD. He was one of the police officers that held back the crowd at the premiere of his former wife's movie, The Asphalt Jungle. In The Secret Happiness of Marilyn Monroe and To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie, he claimed they were in love but dreams of stardom lured her away. She always maintained theirs was a marriage of convenience. She was furious when he claimed to Photoplay in 1953 she threatened to jump off the Santa Monica Pier if he left her. He later appeared on To Tell the Truth as "Marilyn Monroe's real first husband". He sold signed copies of his books on his website [1].
