If you could have coffee with Kate Mulgrew what would you say? - Page 5

henbane · February 16 2011, 02:52 AM

To be honest - I wouldn't ask Kate about anything to do with Star Trek or acting at all. She gets bombarded by this all the time, so I'd ask her about some stuff that wont generate the "parrot fashion" answers (you can see this on YouTube - years apart and people ask the same question - out comes the same well-rehersed automatic answer. Not a criticism of Kate Mulgrew - all stars do this). Kate is an actress with a brain - I'd take advantage of that over a cup of tea (sorry - can't stand coffee!!!).

What - you mean making a whole series that essentially ruined the whole running joke about Colombo's wife wasn't an amazing idea?

She was... what? 20-something at the time? And she was supposed to be married to Peter Falk?!

Who greenlighted that thing, anyway?

I'd say that it was possible but he was probably just a lowly writer then and had no power.

I would have an itch to ask her if she ever has regretted any of her harms which she's done to various people especially during her lifetime with Star Trek Voyager.

lol froot!

I recall reading somewhere that Kate said the show was written especially for her - I wonder what possessed her to own up to that!!

Could have been a good show, but Kate M isn't suited to that style of show - she's not Angela Lansbury.

Thinking about it, I think Kate got stuck in an awkward era of Hollywood - where her acting strengths and style were being superseded by a new generation of bottle blond barbies. Quite a few talented actresses of her era fell victim to this "plague".

I think it's always been like that. In fact, I'd say that we're living in the best era for middle-aged actresses in Hollywood, where they can find interesting roles in movies and especially in television. Twenty or forty years ago, Hollywood didn't know what to do with actresses such as Katherine Erbe, Edie Falco, Rachel Griffiths or Melina Kanakaredes, to name just a few. These days, they're everywhere.

I've heard that's she's actually been apologizing at cons. for that behavior.

That's all well and good but don't apologize to us, do to those you actually insulted.

If we are talking about species harmed during Voyager, who cares?

If we are talking about Jeri being harmed by her comments... I think apologizing AT the cons is what she needs to do. She's taking ownership of her comments and telling those people most likely to have heard them that she was wrong.

I think that kind of atonement would mean more to Jeri than Kate sending her a note, or stopping her backstage to say "sorry for being such an ass."
