My name is Linda Wada. I have been researching Edna Purviance's life since 1998. Edna was Charlie Chaplin's leading lady from 1915-1923. Edna's life has never been fully researched, so learning new things about her and working on correcting miss information. I am also working with close relatives of Edna's who knew her personally for over 20 years after Edna retired from films. I have also research a lot about Edna's early life in Nevada where she was born in Paradise Valley, Nevada, and where she grew-up, in Lovelock. Upon seeing Lovelock, Nevada listed as 'Lovestock' Nevada under Edna's information, I decided to join this directory.
