In September of 2000, I visited Edna Purviance's birthplace and the town where she spent most of her youth. Come with me as I locate the house of her birth in Paradise Valley, Nevada and the high school she attended in Lovelock, Nevada. See where she caught the train to San Francisco in 1913, shortly after high school. Join me as I interview the current owner of her house in Paradise Valley and Edna's cousin in Winnemucca, Nevada.
" nice touch with
Edna's cousin "
" loved the shots in Paradise Valley "
