Owen Moore

Biography

Owen Moore was an Irish-born American actor whose screen career ran from 1908 to 1937 and included more than 279 films. He worked at D. W. Griffith's Biograph Studios, then joined Victor Studios in 1912, where he appeared opposite Florence Lawrence in several features. During the late 1910s and early 1920s he made many successful pictures for Lewis J. Selznick. He was popular at Selznick Pictures, appearing alongside Olive Thomas and Conway Tearle. He also made films for his own production company and for Goldwyn and Triangle. When sound films arrived, his leading career faded and he took supporting roles. In She Done Him Wrong (1933), he played the third lead opposite Mae West, competing with Cary Grant and Noah Beery Sr.; the film was Paramount's highest-grossing release that year. His final screen appearance came as a movie director in A Star Is Born (1937).
