- 1Rena Owens role in Once were warriors constrained her in terms of other roles she was to play in the futureRena Owen played the character Beth Heke in the NZ renowned film 'Once were warriors'
- A film that places her as a weak maori wife to an abusive man. Although she is strong and only cries twice in the film ( both were when her children were hurt) her character and environment are stuck in subduing to what is happening around them
- Due to playing this role, Rena Owen became to be stereotyped within the media which therefore restricted what she was able to play in the future
