Best known for her iconic role as Captain Kathryn Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, this science fiction actress rose to prominence in the world of television. Her portrayal of the strong and intelligent Janeway made her a household name among fans of the genre. Later in her career, she took on a vastly different role as the character Red in the popular Netflix original series Orange is the New Black, showcasing her range and versatility as an actress.
Before she became widely recognized, she pursued formal training at Stella Adler’s Conservatory, where she honed her craft and built a solid foundation for her acting career. In 1982, she married Robert H. Egan, and together they raised two sons. However, the couple eventually divorced in 1993 after over a decade of marriage.
Throughout her life and career, Kathryn Janeway’s on-screen presence left a lasting impact, but the woman behind the character proved to be just as compelling off-screen.
She has received a nomination for a Golden Globe Award, marking yet another achievement in her impressive career.
