Seena Owen (November 14, 1894 – August 15, 1966) was a Danish-American silent film actress.
==Early life==
Born Signe Auen in Spokane, Washington, she was the youngest of three children raised by Jens Christensen and Karen (née Sorensen) Auen. Her father and mother came from Denmark in the late 1880s and settled in Minnesota where they married in 1888. Within a short period of time they relocated to Portland and then Spokane, where her father became proprietor of the Columbia Pharmacy.〔US Census records 1900〕〔''The Era Druggists' Directory, 1905''〕〔''Silent players: a Biographical and Autobiographical Study of 100 Silent Film Actors and Actresses'' by Anthony Slide (2002), pg. 439〕〔''Photoplay: the aristocrat of motion picture magazines'' (Volume 11) by Ruth Waterbury (1917), pg. 89〕
In her youth Owen was enrolled at Brunot Hall, an Episcopalian girl's school in Spokane, founded by Bishop Lemuel H. Wells. She was also educated in Copenhagen. Her life as the daughter of an affluent business owner changed in her late teens when the family business failed and it became necessary to seek employment. She received her early inspiration to act while a student at the Pauline Dunstan Belden School of Elocution in Spokane before appearing in a stock production in San Francisco playing the part of a maid for $5 a week. Soon after she went to Hollywood to work as a film extra, and had the good fortune to run into actor-director Marshall Neilan, then a Hollywood "boy wonder" whom Owen had known in Spokane. Through Neilan she was hired by the Kalem Company, an early motion picture studio, at $15 a week.〔''The Spokesman Review'' (Spokane, WA) by Jim Kershner, February 11, 2007〕〔''The Olean Evening Herald'', October 16, 1918, pg. 7〕〔''The Amarillo Globe'', November 14, 1930, pg. 9〕
