Palm Springs Home $ells Published October 16, 2026 2:56 PM PDT The owner of Marilyn Monroe's former Palm Springs house doesn't have to take her advice on how to marry a millionaire ... because they just raked in a ton of dough by selling the place. The blonde bombshell's former property in the popular Southern California vacation destination sold for $2,810,000 to Violet Moran ... a local designer who we're told is elated to work on the iconic property where one of her favorite celebs once lived. While Violet plans on making the place her own, we're told she also plans on maintaining the integrity of the house and aesthetic ... and she wants to restore it to the level that it deserves. It appears she's hosting an invite-only housewarming there this weekend that HGTV will film. If you don't know ...
