Summary

  • Geneviève Bujold quit Star Trek: Voyager after only two days of filming due to disagreements with producers about how the character of Janeway should be portrayed.
  • Bujold wanted Janeway to be portrayed as a captain first and a woman second, with no nonsense with her hair and minimal makeup. However, the producers changed their agreement before filming began.
  • Kate Mulgrew ultimately became Captain Janeway and played the character in every episode of Voyager's seven seasons, embodying the tough but compassionate nature of the character.
