Before she was Captain Janeway or Red, Kate Mulgrew was a girl with poetry in her bones and rebellion in her blood.
Raised in a raucous Irish Catholic family, Mulgrew left her Midwestern hometown at eighteen to chase her acting dreams in New York. Under the legendary Stella Adler, she learned to transform heartbreak into art, a skill she would need when, at twenty-two, she gave up her newborn daughter for adoption, a decision that shaped her life.
From the heights of stage and screen to the quiet grief she carried alone, Born with Teeth reveals the fierce, vulnerable woman behind the iconic roles.
Kate Mulgrew’s memoir is sharp, funny, and unflinchingly honest—a portrait of a life lived out loud, on her own terms.
