To Boldly Go: The Women of "Star Trek"18 of 24
Kate Mulgrew slipped into the Captain's chair as Captain Kathryn Janeway in "Star Trek: Voyager" when Geneviève Bujold decided to leave the show.
When asked what she liked best about her time on the show, Mulgrew said, "The best thing was simply the privilege and the challenge of being able to take a shot at the first female captain, transcending stereotypes that I was very familiar with. [I was] able to do that in front of millions of viewers. That was a remarkable experience -- and it continues to resonate."
