Edna Purviance ( October 21, 1895-January 11, 1958 ) was an American actress during the silent movie era.

Edna Purviance ( pronounced Purr-VYE-ance ) was born in Paradise Valley, Nevada, to Louis and Madison Gates Purviance.

Growing up, Purviance was a talented pianist.

In 1915 Edna Purviance was working as a secretary in San Francisco, when Chaplin was working on his second film with Essanay Studios, working out of Niles, California, one hour southeast of San Francisco.

He was looking for a leading lady for A Night Out, and one of his associates noticed Purviance at a Tate's Café in San Francisco and thought she should be cast in the role.

Although she was romantically involved with Chaplin for several years, Purviance eventually married John Squire, a Pan-American Airlines pilot, whom she wed in 1938 and who died in 1945.

Chaplin had several reasons for producing this film, and one of these reasons was to help Purviance gain recognition as an actress without Chaplin at her side.
