Gillian Anderson - Close Encounters

 

For Windows 95/98 NT Me 2000 & XP

Introduction

Gillian Anderson once held legendary status in the early days of the WWW. Thrust from obscurity to vurtual reality, this mere slip of a girl became every ad-mans' Si-Fi escape. This theme glimses those days and the lasting images of Gillian during that fateful period. All the material gathered here was collected during Dec 03. Among the wallpapers, Gillian is shown as "Dana Scully" her imfamoums X-Files incarnation, the Sexy Si-Fi shots, and later roles in the house of mirth.

For the "Full Monty", check out the active desktop, were you can choose Gillian "getting fresh". NOTE: this is intended to be a bit of fun, not offened anyone.

The other web files contain links to Gillian Anderson sites, a current (Dec 03) biography and a help file on desktop themes.
