The general consensus is NO, she did not (at least not on one foot!). The only one who ever claimed that she did was a photographer who photographed her when she was still Norma Jean ... and he supposedly did not notice the extra toe in person or in the photos at the time. He conveniently 'noticed' them 41 years later when he had a book about to come out. Check out this web page: http://www.snopes.com/movies/actors/mmtoes.htm

Some people are born with six toes on one foot. It is normal practise to remove the extra toe with a minor surgical operation at an early age, to prevent the child from feeling odd. I don't think the extra is any harm.

For the sake of this site I have just trawled through hundreds of photographs of Marilyn. Her feet were not the most photographed part of her anatomy, but where they do appear there are always the regulation number of toes on each foot. As Gnomon says extra fingers or toes were usually removed at birth. I am now going for a cold bath.
