Qualifies on both counts

Appreciated her Performances

"I always show Edna in "The Immigrant" to my students in my film class and they always appreciate her performance. She is terrific in movies like "Woman of Paris" and "The Kid". From 1916 to 1924, I do not think there was a better actress in Hollywood." - J. Raskin

List of Names on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

If you are wondering whose names are on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this link from Hollywood USA (from the UK) gives a listing and location with the type of star they were honored with. LINK

Thanks for the latest signatures! More Comments

"It's easy to forget that in the Chaplin films at Essaany, Mutual and First National that his leading lady in over 30 of those films was Edna Purviance, an actress, who played an important part in his early successes. I also think that along with Bogart/Bacall, Flynn/De Havilland and Wayne/O'Hara that Chaplin/Purviance were one of the screens greatest romantic couples. She may not have been as good as Lillian Gish or Mary Pickford, but I think she still deserves to be recognized as one of the great actresses' of the silent era." - S. Thomson

Wish there was film of Edna Puviance in real life...

"I have always been a fan of Edna, and she should have this great moment of glory, over 40 years after her death. I just wish there was any film of the woman in real life, to see footage of her talking, for instance would be incredible. I have just found out more about Edna thru this website, like her being a great musican. I can not wait for the books and films to come out about her, so that the world can remember and again fall in love with this wonderful young lady. May she finally be honored." - Michael J. McGettigan

Comments on Edna Purviance

"So much of Chaplin's most famous earlier film work would not be the same if it wasn't for this wonderful artiste. Please place a star for Edna Purviance. To ignore her is to ignore the first chapter of the golden age of film history." - Edward Chandler

More comments about Edna...

"I'm stunned that Edna Purviance doesn't already have a star. As a film history professor, I urge that this be changed." - T. McDonald

Note: On January 17th, I will have a special announcement about Edna Purviance at Edna's Place.

Growing list of comments from Edna fans

"Ms. Purviance, in my opinion, is far more deserving of this honor than many who have already received it. She is most assuredly an eternal part of Motion Picture History. Her lovely and sensitive work which added immeasurably to the work of the immortal Mr. Chaplin has earned her at least this much of a memento."- Marty Vale (actor)

Thanks for your support
