Born and raised in Norfolk, Nebraska, Pawn spent her vacations on the ranch of an uncle. There, she learned to ride horseback.[1] She entered a business college to prepare for life as a typist. She came to California with her mother and brother and stayed in San Diego, California while her family returned east.[1]
Pawn eventually met director Wilfred Lucas. She was offered work as a fill in in the film Trey of Hearts (1914), while the company was on location in San Diego. So impressed were the filmmakers that she was offered additional work if she came along to Los Angeles, California.[1] Pawn worked for a period of three months as an extra.[citation needed]
Careeredit
Director Sydney Ayres coveted Pawn as a leading lady early in her screen career. In 1916, she appeared in her first Fox Film feature, Blue Blood and Red, directed by Raoul Walsh. Studios were impressed with her personal charm and ability to act naturally. She was especially gifted in the art of pantomime.[citation needed]
