The starburst hypothesis for broad-line AGN is examined here using ultraviolet spectra and optical images of NGC 4395, the least luminous Seyfert 1 nucleus. From the evidence it is concluded that the apparent activity in the Seyfert 1 nucleus of NGC 4395 probably cannot be explained in the context of the starburst hypothesis of Terlevich et al. (1992). The strongest piece of evidence is the absence of stellar absorption lines, especially in the UV and NIR spectra. Other relevant characteristics are the UV spectral index of roughly -1, small physical size, low luminosity, and lack of obvious variability.
