Award-winning actress Kate Mulgrew stars as Kathryn Janeway, the captain of the starship U.S.S. Voyager. As captain, it is Janeway's responsibility to keep the crew hopeful as they struggle through the far reaches of the uncharted Delta Quadrant in search of a way home.
Mulgrew grew up in Dubuque, IA, the oldest girl in a family of eight. She left home at the age of 17 and traveled to New York to study acting, enrolling at New York University and Stella Adler's famous conservatory. At the end of her junior year, Mulgrew left NYU to commit herself full-time to her craft.
She was immediately cast as Mary Ryan on ABC daytime drama Ryan's Hope, beginning a fruitful career on television as well as several feature films and numerous theatrical productions.
The recipient of an honorary doctorate of letters for artistic contribution from Seton Hill University, Mulgrew currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband Tim Hagan and her two sons, Ian and Alexander.
