About the rippling water effect in the picture
on the top of the home page...
It's a Java program that works on a web page.
It is possible to put this picture with the animation
on your PC's desktop as the background wallpaper,
by downloading this file unzipping it to your hard drive,
and then selecting the marilyn.htm file as your screen's
background in your screen properties, with Active Desktop
enabled. However, the picture is not very big, and it
will not be tiled to fill your screen.
(Thanks to Gary Maginnis for this tip!)
All of the software and desktop goodies on this page
are FREE to you, in thanks for visiting my site
and sharing my appreciation of Marilyn.
The only thing that I might ask in return
is for you to
sign my guest book
or
send me a note
telling me what you downloaded
so I can get an idea of what you liked
and keep coming up with more and better stuff.
Or if you have or know of more things like these
which I could share with other visitors here
please tell me about it.
Marilyn Alarm Clock for your PC
This is the first Marilyn computer program which I made. When you set the alarm time Marilyn
says "good night honey" and when the alarm goes off at the selected time Marilyn sings "Diamonds
are a Girl's Best Friend."
Download the zip file and extract it's contents to a known location on your hard drive. Click
on the Marilyn_Monroe_Clock.exe file to start the clock.
Marilyn Timeline Photo Organizer
This program is much more ambitious. It's a system for organizing all your Marilyn photos collection
on your computer.
Here is another site which has tons of Marilyn themes, skins, and etc. for you...
Technical Help
The software available here is compressed into
.zip archive files to save you download time.
To use any of it, you need to have PKUNZIP or
WINZIP installed on your system first. More recently, Windows XP also has zip archive support.
If you don't already have winzip
you can download it for free, by clicking here.
Although I don't have time to answer everyone's technical questions
please email me if something on my site doesn't seem to work right,
or if you are having a serious problem.

Marilyn Money
Marilyn Monroe was "outraged" when she heard that
Elizabeth Taylor got one million dollars for starring
in Cleopatra according to Lena Pepitone in the book Marilyn Monroe Confidential.
So this is for you, Marilyn...
Here is a lifesize million dollar bill with Marilyn's picture on it
which you can download and print on your color printer,
to have fun with however you want.
You can download both sides, cut them out, and paste them together.
On some printers you may be able to print one side, then put the
paper back in face up and print the other side so all you have to
do is cut it out of the page and you'll have both sides on a single sheet.
Check out these great drawings by Ceasar Vasallo. You can download and print these full page pics
of Marilyn and then color them in yourself. Have fun!!! And after you color them in, if you want to
share your efforts with the world, e-mail a scan of them to me and I'll post it on this site.
This isn't Marilyn-related but it's something I made which you might find useful...
