on the back of speeding
cars, in cages with lions,
under buffalo stampedes,
and his favorite of all: un-
derwater work.
Settling in the San Fer-
nando Valley, he and Ev-
elyn had two children,
daughter Cheri and son
Randy. Sadly, Randy died
as an adolescent — an ac-
cidental death that Owen
mourned deeply the rest of
his life.
A baby boy, Scott, was
adopted in 1967.
Owen was passionate
about his work and has
credits on hundreds of
films and television shows,
working on classic films
such as “Ben Hur,” “Papil-
lon,” “Alice Doesn’t Live
Here Anymore,” “King
Kong,” “Loved Me Tender,”
“The Greatest Story Ever
Told,” “How the West Was
Won,” “The Towering In-
ferno” and “Uptown Satur-
day Night.”
He was among a handful
of founding members who
established the Society of
Camera Operators. Owen
served as the nonprofit’s
inaugural president from
1979-81 and received its
Lifetime
Achievement
Award in 1992.
Retiring in 1990, he and
Evelyn found their way
to Florence, Ore., as ear-
ly residents in Florentine
Estates, where they lived
happily for just short of 30
years.
Owen took up retire-
ment with enthusiasm, be-
coming active in Florentine
Estates aesthetics, playing
bridge in the clubhouse,
installing a beautiful Japa-
nese garden in their back
yard, and volunteering at
the Florence Chamber of
Commerce, where he raved
to visitors about his new
hometown.
He took up ceramics and
bonsai cultivation with
zest, at one point having
over 300 plants. He also
self-published, a humorous
memoir of his movie mak-
ing days titled Parking Lots
I’ve Eaten In and several
poetry collections.
In 2019, Owen and Ev-
elyn sold their treasured
