Vera Michelena (June 16, 1885 – August 28, 1961), was an American actress, contralto prima donna 〔''The Advocate: America's Jewish Journal'', Volume 38, December 25, 1909, p. 783〕 and dancer who appeared in light opera, musical comedy, vaudeville and silent film.

==Early life==
She was born in New York City the daughter of Fernando Michelena (1858-1921), a noted Venezuelan-born tenor, and Frances Lenord (1867-1912),〔1900 US Census, San Francisco, Ca. - Patrick (Fernando) Michelena, 42, Venezuela, Frank (Frances) Michelena, 33, New York, Beatriz Michelena, 17, New York, Vera Michelena, 14, New York, Ancestry.com〕〔California, San Francisco Area Funeral Home Records, October 1942, Beartiz Michelena Middleton, parents, Fernando Michelena, Frances Lenord, Ancestry.com〕 an operatic soprano and pianist.〔(Mrs. Michelena Taken by Death in Gotham. ''San Francisco Call'', Volume 112, Number 102, September 10, 1912, p. 5 ) Retrieved October 28, 2013〕 Over much of her childhood Michelena’s parents toured with the Emma Abbott Grand Opera Company.〔Emma Abbott Grand Opera Company (advertisement). ''St. Louis Globe-Democrat, '' November 01, 1885; p. 12, col. B〕 As did her sister Beatriz Michelena Middleton, a famous actress during the silent film era, Vera received her musical education from her father.〔(Achievement of Comic Opera Star Still Remains Fresh in Mind of Patriot. ''The San Francisco C>all'', February 16, 1902, p. 22 )〕〔(Fernando Michelena Obituary. ''Pacific Coast Musical Review,'' Vol. 39, March 12, 1921, p. 195 ) Retrieved May 28, 2014〕〔(Briscoe, Johnson, 1908, p. 144.

''San Francisco Call'', Volume 99, January 19, 1906, p. 9〕 Michelena attended school at a convent in San Miguel, California.
Both Vera and Beatriz were trained by their father in classical voice and drama studies, and they followed in his footsteps by beginning singing careers of their own. By mid-1904, with Vera busy pursuing her career in New York, Fernando Michelena settled in San Francisco, California to teach voice. There, he raised Beatriz and continued to train her, a soprano, in operatic vocal techniques. He passed his stage experience to his daughter: the way to move as another person, the way to make simple but authoritative gestures, and the way to build intensity over the span of a performance.〔Bell, 1984, p. 78〕 Her father in later life taught music and worked as a vocal coach and, at the time of his death, was serving as president of Arrillaga Musical College, San Francisco.〔Arrillaga Musical College Advertisement. ''Oakland Tribune'', August 1, 1920, p. 15〕 Maria Antonia Field, a Californian writer, would later chronicle her time as a student of Michelena’s father in her book, ''Five Years of Vocal Study under Fernando Michelena''.〔( Field, Maria Antonia. ''Five Years of Vocal Study under Fernando Michelena'' c. 1922, C.D.L. ) Retrieved October 24, 2013.〕
