A role that slipped away
Genevieve Bujold was picked to play Janeway, but quit after two days of filming once she saw how much work an episodic television show demanded. Mulgrew was offered the part and took it.
A first
In the Star Trek franchise, Mulgrew became the first female captain to be a series regular in a leading role, which the franchise called making history.
Early training
Mulgrew was accepted at the Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in New York at 17, in a program conjoined with New York University, and left NYU after one year.
Beyond film
After Voyager ended, Mulgrew went back to the stage. In 2003 she took the lead in Tea at Five, a one-woman monologue drawn from Katharine Hepburn's memoir, and earned a Carbonell Best Actress award plus a Broadway.com Audience Award for Favorite Solo Performance.
Beyond film
Mulgrew stayed busy with voice-over work for video games. Her most notable role was the mysterious Flemeth in the Dragon Age series, which she called "delicious".
