Talk:Kate Mulgrew

Heartbeat
Any information on her leading role as Dr Joanne Springsteen on HeartBeat, a medical drama? (in the 1980s) It lasted only one season, but she was the lead and it was fondly remembered by many of us. --75.55.200.217 19:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Heartbeat is mentioned in Mulgrew's filmography on IMDb.com but lacks detail. Adding more info right now might be tricky as she has an extensive filmography. First getting this article to Wiki biography standards might be best. --Zuejay 04:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * All right - added Heartbeat to the filmography. Also tried to make it more of a bio article. --Zuejay 04:32, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

According to her published memoir (p. 190) the name of her character on HeartBeat is Dr. Joanne Halloran. --Hotgardener (talk) 19:28, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Removed section
I have removed a talk page section in accordance with privacy concerns and OTRS request number 2007021810000441. The discussion remains in the talk page history. Bastiq ▼ e demandez 21:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Has Wikipedia received a cease-and-desist order on this matter? Information concerning the extent of Ms. Mulgrew's family, a matter in the public domain, has been removed this article on the basis on some anon editor claiming to be Ms. Mulgrew's husband.  This appears wrong and warrants action. Cited Source: Catholic Explorer, Jan. 19, 2001 http://www.totallykate.com/articles/cexplore.html Tobit2 (talk) 23:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems absurd to argue against inclusion of information which Mulgrew has shared publicly as far back as the 1980s. --Saforrest (talk) 15:23, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Abortion
Mulgrew supports an organisation called Feminists for Life whose members identify themselves as Pro-Life Feminists and is opposed to both abortion and capital punishment. It seems to me her political views in this regard are worthy of mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.200.115.29 (talk) 00:27, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Info box pic
We need some kind of info box picture. I suppose some kind of copyright thing why we can't have a Star Trek one in there. Though there is one below? --unsigned by User:Xiahou at 21:17 on 26 July 2007.
 * Yep. The thought is that someone who is living should have a free photo in their infobox showing them, not a character they portrayed that belongs to someone else, like Paramount. Zue Jay (talk)  01:21, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Hepburn
Something of a Katharine Hepburn look-alike? You've got to be kidding. Is this some combination of original research, NPOV, and hallucinatory drugs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.250.210 (talk) 00:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

"STRIPES" THE MOVIE "BIT PART"  OBJECT OF ADMIRATION OF JOHN LAROQUETE...  "OH I WISH I WAS A LOOFAH!"
The Movie "STRIPES" 1981 WITH Bill Murray, John Candy, Judge Reinhold, John Laroquete,and Kate Mulgrew, et al. At approx. 36 min. into the Movie. The first "NUDE", in the womens soldiers shower scene, being "peeped on" with a telescope by John Laroquete's character, Is unmistakeably Kate Mulgrew. His view of her brings out his infamous line "Oh! I wish I was a Loofah," She does some fine soaping and rinsing, Her characteristic Smile, Face, Chin, Ear Lobes, Posture, and Size can be no one else. I saw this film again recently and had never recognized her before. At that time, and still today she leans toward films with Military topics and characters like "REMO WILLIAMS". She is today as lovely as she was at 25 yrs. old, a "TRUE BEAUTY FOR THE AGES." A Woman of great character with an astounding Career from Broadway to Hollywood. Stage Actress, T.V. Commercials, T.V. show bit parts, Mini-series Major Characters, Movie "bit parts", Major Movie Roles, and undaunting advocate for the elderly. She should be as proud of that "bit part" as any other full role. She is perfect in every way. Inside and out. Z282061 (talk) 00:45, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Early work
What about her appearance with James Garner in the short-lived series Man of the People? How about her first prime-time leading role in Mrs. Columbo / Kate Loves a Mystery? 75.200.150.255 (talk) 23:58, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Marital Status
There is at least some indication that she and Tim Hagan are no longer married - his Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000784265779) states that he is "Divorced". Yet I can't find any evidence anywhere else of this. Anyone know more? Frazzle (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The link above says: "This content is currently unavailable". Maybe it's only available to Facebook members?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I believe this qualifies as public domain, so I will put this here. Frazzle (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I know you were only trying to help, but just because something is on a "public" website doesn't mean it's not copyrighted. As for the issue itself, you'd have to find a reliable source that says they are divorced. This wouldn't be enough. To be safe, I'd request deletion of the file you uploaded.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:13, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
 * If you take a moment and read the FIRST line, I'm stating a question - not asserting a fact. If I had asserted this as fact, it wouldn't be on the blasted talk page.Frazzle (talk) 03:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Mulgrew's official facebook page posted that she and Hagan are divorced (in a comment, here--in response to Mulgrew's anecdote about her "boyfriend" in an interview she gave). I do not believe we need to wait for a biography to be published to correct the Wikipedia page to state a basic fact like that of a marital status. Robert K S (talk) 02:42, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I note that one Kate Mulgrew, plaintiff, sued one Timothy F. Hagan, defendant, in New York Supreme Court (which, to those unfamiliar with the New York state court system, is the lowest-level court, not the highest-level court), in case No. 308115-2011. Consistent with the policy of not publishing matrimonial cases electronically, the records associated with that case are not available online.  Unless the records are under seal, one could presumably request them through the clerk of court to verify the divorce. Robert K S (talk) 02:50, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
 * We don't primary record, particularly court documents, to support biographic material. The material regarding her alleged divorce should be removed. I've started a topic at WP:BLPN.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:59, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

She divorced Egan in 1994, Her website I can`t find a RS for the new guy? Darkness Shines (talk) 21:10, 13 April 2014 (UTC)

Kate's officially recognized Facebook page states that she and Tim Hagan are divorced, she has mentioned that she "was" married to him at conventions (Destination: London being the one I recall), and in recent interviews about her role in Orange Is The New Black she has mentioned her boyfriend -- not her husband. I know that Wikipedia does not typically like such poorly sourced material, but it is a fact that she is divorced from Tim Hagan and in this case Wikipedia is the incorrect source. Are a combination of the quote on her Facebook page, the Youtube video mentioning she "was" married, and the interview mentioning her boyfriend sufficient enough to change her marital status on Wikipedia? I am itching to change it, but I see that it's been tried before and changed back. I just hate to see Wikipedia wrong on an issue and refuse to change when there is plenty of circumstantial source material to corroborate that she is divorced.

 * I've put verification needed tag on for now since more than enough circumstantial evidence she's divorced, including [her own facebook page comment. [[User:Carolmooredc|Carolmooredc]] (Talkie-Talkie) 16:56, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Here is another interview dated July 2014 referring to her Boyfriend, in this case he is the one who informed her of her Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress In A Comedy for Orange Is The New Black:. Being a quote from Kate herself, I think this is strong enough to corroborate the previously cited sources that reference her divorce. Fumetsu (talk) 16:34, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

Catholic??
She may be "culturally Catholic" or "historically Catholic" but the Catholic Church does not recognize civil divorce. She has been divorced twice. She is NOT Catholic. Catholics do not divorce. 66.67.32.161 (talk) 01:35, 30 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Wrong. Catholics can and do divorce without ill effect. The Church prohibits remarriage after divorce; however, there is an annulment process that can declare a marriage null (i.e., having never happened in a sacramental sense). At that point a second civil marriage is permissible because it IS the first and only marriage before God. Whether or not Mulgrew's first marriage was annulled is not something that can be determined via public record because most Church documents involving the marriage tribunal are sealed. Whether or not the second marriage was annulled is a non-issue because she has not yet attempted to remarry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.64.125.7 (talk) 22:24, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Late here, but I just finished "Born with Teeth." I'd say she's pretty much not Catholic and has a somewhat ambivalent view of the Church on issues of gender and organization. I gather she very much does believe in God, prays, and maintains some Catholic beliefs but isn't a believer in Catholicism in the standard sense.Tibby57721 (talk) 19:12, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Nevertheless, the Catholic Church does not recognize civil divorce. As annulment is necessary, it is not likely this occurred. Explain to me how she is a Catholic of good standing again? The same way all the "pro-choice" politicos are? Interesting!66.67.32.161 (talk) 03:08, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

Personal life section
The section states that Kate had a reunion with her daughter in 2001. According to her recently published memoir (p.300), the reunion occurred a short time before her reuniting (after a 5 year silence) with Tim Hagan. The Hagan reunion was cited by them in an interview  as being in 1998.

Mulgrew suggesting Janeways first name?
The article claims: "Mulgrew was offered the role, which she accepted, later suggesting "Kathryn" as the character's final first name." The news article that is given as source after this sentence however just relates to the sentence before and talks about Bujold walking out and that a search for a new actress was underway. In her autobiography Mulgrew writes that the name "Kathryn" actually came from the producers (Rick Berman, Jeri Taylor, Michael Piller), the reason being that they couldn't use "Elizabeth Janeway" because of a living author with this name. (Page 254 in her book) 91.65.152.105 (talk) 11:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Question: in what section of filmography should an audiobook go?
Kate Mulgrew narrated the voice of Nagatha, a character in an audio-only audiobook titled Homefront by Craig Alanson. The audiobook doesn't have a print version. See https://www.audible.com/pd/Homefront-Audiobook/1772309141

Looking at the filmography section, I don't see where audiobooks would fit. Does this warrant a new subheading for audiobooks for her? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkJerue (talk • contribs) 03:00, 20 June 2019 (UTC)

citation to magazine article about Mulgrew working as a waitress
I'm not sure what the magazine article about life in Manhattan has to do or makes reference, to Kate Mulgrew; the article was written in 1968, when Mulgrew was 13. She didn't go to NY until she was 17. Where is the reference to her waitressing in the citation? I have not found it. 98.10.165.90 (talk) 17:23, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Personal Life / Marriage
These two paragraphs are contradictory:

"Mulgrew married Tim Hagan in 1982. They have two children. The couple separated in 1993. Their divorce became final in 1995.[18][19]

Over the years, Mulgrew searched for the daughter she placed for adoption, including hiring a private investigator. "The first man who wanted to explore this with me", said Mulgrew, "was Tim Hagan, who later became my husband".[20] She married Tim Hagan, a former Ohio gubernatorial candidate and a former commissioner of Cuyahoga County, Ohio, in April 1999.[21]"

Who did she marry in 1982 and divorce in 1995? And who did she marry in 1999?

Twitter citation
In this diff I've cited a post that Mulgrew's verified Twitter profile made today. I loathe citing Twitter, it really is a bad thing to do, but the point she makes seems important when set against her earlier statements and provides an interesting indication on how her views evolve.

That said, I don't think my summation of the tweet is all that good – I've hedged my language in order to try to be neutral and may well have failed. All tweaks to the sentence are most welcome, but a discussion here before an out-and-out revert would be a good thing. — TREY MATURIN has spoken 19:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Views on abortion?
I apologize if I don't follow the proper etiquette, I created this account specifically to add this comment: The paragraph on abortion seems to contradict itself. Wouldn't it be better to change it so that it is understood that she has historically been anti-abortion? Unidentified Caller (talk) 16:14, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

"Real" admiral?

 * She returned to the role of Janeway as a training hologram and the real Vice-Admiral Janeway (commanding the USS Dauntless and USS Voyager-A) in the series Star Trek: Prodigy.

That doesn't quite make sense. Should it be "Rear Vice-Admiral"? Or does it mean "real" as in present-day vs. sci-fi-futurish? I'm just guessing. – AndyFielding (talk) 08:08, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
