Edna Purviance Hollywood Walk of Fame Star Petition



Edna Purviance prospective star on the Hollywood Walk of FameEdna Purviance in A Woman of Paris

"It is not an easy task with so many stars nominated each year. The cost is also high at $15,000 for a star on the Walk of Fame. But names need to be gathered to show interest in the project, as well."

The above quote was taken from ednapurviance.org, a site dedicated to, well, Edna Purviance.

On the site, there's a petition requesting the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to grant Edna Purviance a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sure, why not, you say — but who is Edna Purviance (pronounced pur-VEYE-ance)?

Edna Purviance was Charles Chaplin's leading lady in numerous shorts, and his star in A Woman of Paris, a 1923 drama he directed. Purviance is, in fact, quite good in the film, in which she plays a sweet young thing who ends up as the mistress of a wealthy Parisian. In my opinion, that's also Chaplin's best work as a director. (I'm not at all crazy about his comedies.)

The petition can be found here.
