"I watched it five minutes and I had a migraine," he told writer Mark Kennedy, noting that the TREK captain's performance, however, stood out. "I said, 'God, she looks like Katharine Hepburn!' Even her mannerisms and her voice, her inflections, really reminded me."

Mulgrew, who played the first leading female STAR TREK captain, says she was eager to test her chops on the stage after seven years in space.

"When I was doing 'Voyager,' my goal was, 'When this is finished, I'm going to find out if I can still act deeply,'" she recalls. "Television is strangely safe. It's just you and the camera," she says. "Now, I get to let go."

TEA AT FIVE tracks the Hollywood actress's life from early in her thirties to the twilight of her career. The Hepburn family isn't entirely impressed, separating Mulgrew's talented performance from what they consider to be inferior material. TEA AT FIVE began previews at the Promenade Theatre in New York February 25th.

Mulgrew also appeared on Pat Sajak Weekend on the Fox News channel tonight, discussing the play and her VOYAGER days. She humorously recalled avoiding romance while in the Delta Quadrant because the young male demographic sought after for the show may have viewered her character as their mother.
