- ConjointVirginia Brown(1940 - 9 février 2006) (son décès, 1 enfant)
- Blacklisted in 1952; exiled to London 1953-1993.
- His brief role as Luke Skywalker's Uncle Owen in the film Star Wars was his most memorable role. He was cast after George Lucas was looking for an an actor with a strong American accent. Brown, who was living in London after being blacklisted in the McCarthy communist-witch hunt of the 1950s, auditioned and won the role instantly.
- Worked in stage and film for more than 30 years but his small role in "Star Wars" made him a celebrity. He became a popular figure at science fiction conventions.
- In his later years, he often made appearances at Star Wars conventions. During these appearances, he got to meet Joel Edgerton, who succeeded him in the prequels.
- Blamed former Screen Actor's Guild President Ronald Reagan for accusing him of being a communist.
- [on his role in Star Wars: Épisode IV - Un nouvel espoir (1977) ][Owen] was a straight-forward curmudgeon - which I am anyway, so it was easy for me to play. I've been a curmudgeon for a long time.
- [his thoughts on being remembered as Owen Lars]: I certainly have no regrets about playing this role which seems to have been so important to so many young people over the years. It is very rewarding to meet fans young and old who have a genuinely personal relation to Uncle Owen.
