Biography Catherine Dale Owen

During the '20s, American actress Catherine Owen was a popular Broadway blonde leading lady who at her peak was considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. She made her feature-film debut in the late '20s and appeared in several films, most notably the romantic film fiasco that destroyed the career of handsome leading man John Gilbert, His Glorious Night (1929). Owen's film career folded in 1931, for though beautiful and talented, audiences never warmed to her.
