CHICAGO – April 29th is Kate Mulgrew’s 60th birthday, and what better way to celebrate than Exclusive Portraits of the former Starfleet Commander (“Star Trek: Voyager”). Mulgrew was in Chicago promoting her memoir, “Born with Teeth.”

Born in Iowa, Kathleen Kiernan “Kate” Mulgrew studied acting at the prestigious Stella Adler Conservatory. She began her career in 1975 on the soap opera “Ryan’s Hope,” which led to primetime with the short-lived spinoff “Mrs. Columbo.” After doing character parts in movies and TV during the 1980s, Mulgrew scored her most high profile role as Captain Kathryn Janeway on “Star Trek: Voyager” in 1995, leading the series for seven seasons. That role remained her most notable, until taking on Galina “Red” Reznikov in the hot and current Netflix series “Orange is the New Black.”
