May 11, 2010: Fans Honor Allison Mack

Fans honor CW leading lady & Smallville star, Allison Mack, with tribute commercial to air on KTLA.

Smallville fans have funded a professionally-filmed tribute commercial for CW leading lady Allison Mack and her TV character, Chloe Sullivan, to air twice during the 6-7pm hour on Friday, May 14, 2010, on the CW's Los Angeles affiliate, KTLA. Starring on Smallville since 2001, Ms. Mack has gained a large and devoted fan base as one of the CW's most beloved stars.

For the completion of her 9th year on the series, Smallville fans decided to celebrate Allison Mack and Chloe Sullivan, with a commercial project entitled Legendary. Scripted and funded entirely by fans, this is a first of its kind tribute ad, one that honors a specific actress and character on an in production series. Legendary was filmed in Los Angeles in late February with the director, Jon Michael Kondrath, at the helm. Together, cast and crew created a tribute commercial focusing on who Chloe Sullivan is and what she means to Smallville fans.

The ad highlights milestones in Chloe Sullivan's journey on Smallville from her introduction as a high school student to being hired at the Daily Planet as well as becoming Clark Kent's confidante.

The website, LegendaryChloe.com, has been set up for the project. Although the initial goals of the project have been met, the organizers invite other Smallville fans to help them expand the project by airing it in another market.

Currently, they are considering airing the ad next on WPIX, the New York CW affiliate, and hope to branch out there.

Ms. Mack has been the center of a flurry of fan activity recently. Earlier this year, Smallville fans participated in "Operation: Truth & Justice", another initiative to honor Ms. Mack. Fans donated $3000 to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation in her name and sent the CW star baskets of fan created gifts in appreciation of her performance.

Legendary is the first project of the developing non-profit Legendary Women, Inc. This group, mainly composed of young, professional women, seeks to promote the positive representation of females in the media. Legendary Women, Inc. feels that Chloe Sullivan's heroic and personal journey during Smallville represents what young, driven women can achieve through sheer tenacity and intelligence.
