- And what happened?

- I was in the choir!

Oh!

What is...

Where have you been?

- You look so cute in that box,

- I'm so hot in here,

Come on, we're supposed to

be doing an interview,

I brought my

air-conditioned box,

'cause I didn't know

how long you'd be,

How handsome,

Bill in a box,

You could market it,

How are you?

Just add water,

which we've done,

Oh, boy, sweetheart,

Oh, I am so hot

just waiting for you,

What does that mean?

That's what

they all say,

Kate Mulgrew portrayed

Captain Kathryn Janeway

on ''Star Trek:
Voyager,''

You will meet Kate

in the setting

where she is perhaps

most at home, the stage,

The first female captain of

a ''Star Trek'' series,

She brought all of her

training and discipline to bear

and made Janeway an

impressive leader,

I think when I was young,

acting was, for me,

the great escape,

AIthough I took it

very seriously,

You wanted to go

to college, obviously,

Not really, I didn't,

Well, but you had a desire...

- Bill, Bill,

- Yes?

- Trust me,

- Trust me,

I wanted my father to pay

my way to New York,

The only way I could get here

was to get in through

New York University,

I wanted to study

with Stella Adler,

I have my sister to verify this,

College to me was

absolutely unimportant,

absolutely unimportant,

and as it turns out,

I have had much less college

than I even thought,

I thought I dropped out at

the end of my junior year,

in fact, I've only had one year,

Okay, why couldn't you say to

your father,

''I wanna go to Stella Adler,

pay for that for me, please?''

My father...

Absolutely... tough,

tough old Irishman,

Tough, what, but his daughter

wants to learn,

- Why can't you got to your...

- To be an actress,

- Yeah,

- And you know what my father

said to me when I said I wanna

be an actress?

- What, what did he say?

- And I proved it to him,

He said, ''You're gonna break

your neck out of the gate

and I'll be goddamned

if I'm gonna subsidize that,''

How did you feel about that?

I said,

''Then I'll do it myself,''

He said, ''Guess what?

- You will,''

- And guess what?

You didn't,

'cause you went to college,

You said, ''Then give me the

money for university,''

- Yes,

- So you fooled him,

- I did,

- You lied,

- I did,

- Why did you do that?

'Cause I wanted to be

an actress,

That much,

And I didn't mind sticking it

to him a little bit, either,

He was tough,

Tough, tough,

But he didn't know

that I dropped out,

I didn't tell him I dropped out

of school,

So why did you drop out?

I dropped out because I got

two leading roles,

Where?

I got the lead in a soap opera

called ''Ryan's Hope,''

I played Mary Ryan,
