Seena Owen Biography

Seena Owen was an American silent film actress. She was born in Spokane, Washington.

Her first important film was A Yankee From the West (1915) under the name Signe Auen at the age of 21. In 1916 she performed in D. W. Griffith`s Intolerance. The same year she married George Walsh whom she had met on the set of Intolerance. The marriage lasted until their divorce in 1924. She also co-starred with Gloria Swanson and Walter Byron in the ill-fated Queen Kelly (1928), in which she plays the mad Queen who whips Swanson in one famous scene.

With the arrival of sound in movies, Owen`s weak voice became a problem and forced her to retire from the silver screen in 1933. After her retirement, she co-wrote two films with Dorothy Lamour, Aloma of the South Seas and Rainbow Island, both in 1941.

Owen is also known for being on William Randolph Hearst`s yacht The Oneida during the weekend in November 1924 when film director and producer Thomas Ince died there under mysterious circumstances.

She died in 1966 in Hollywood, California, aged 71.
