She had auditioned for the role when producers announced casting, She submitted a video-taped audition, which she made in New York City in August 1994. Unhappy with this audition, she auditioned in person a few weeks later; that day, film actress Geneviève Bujold was selected to play Janeway, but she left the role after two days of filming, realizing that the amount of work required for an episodic television show was too demanding for her. Mulgrew was offered the role, which she accepted suggesting "Kathryn" as the character's final first name. Mulgrew made history in the Star Trek franchise when she became the first female captain as a series regular in a leading role.

About her years on Voyager, Mulgrew said: I'm proud of it. It was difficult. I'm proud of the work. I grew to love Star Trek: Voyager, out of a cast of nine, I've made three great friends, I managed to raise two children. I think, ``. I used myself well." Speaking about the best and worst part about playing a Star Trek captain, she said: The best thing was the privilege and the challenge of being able to take a shot at the first female captain, transcending stereotypes that I was familiar with. I was able to do that in front of millions of viewers; that was a remarkable experience—and it continues to resonate. The downside of, that it continues to resonate, threatens to eclipse all else in one's long career if one does not up the ante and stay at it, in a way that may not ordinarily be necessary. I have to work at changing and reinventing myself in a way that would not have happened had Star Trek not come along. I knew that going in, I think that all of the perks attached to this journey have been inexpressively great.

So the negatives are small. During Voyager, Mulgrew played the role of Titania in the animated series Gargoyles and Victoria

The Green-legged Partridge is an old breed of chicken indigenous to Poland. It is characterised by the unusual reseda green colour of the shanks.:522 The Green-legged Partridge was first described by Bronisław Obfidowicz in 1879. In 1894 a flock was shown by Roman Ujejski at the General Provincial Exhibition in Lviv. A breed standard was drawn up by Maurycy Trybulski in 1921, the breed was recognised in 1923. From 1930 it was raised in some 70% of the country. However, egg production was found to be variable, birds did not adapt well to intensive management. Numbers declined. Conservation efforts began in the 1970s. Between 1946 and 1954 Laura Kaufman crossed the Green-legged Partridge breed with American Plymouth Rock birds to create the Polbar; the aim was to introduce the barred gene of the Plymouth Rock to make chicks auto-sexing – female Polbar chicks can be distinguished from males at one day old by the longer black eye-stripe. There are two strains of each with one flock; the ZK strain has since 1945 been kept at Felin near Lublin, in the eastern part of the country, by the University of Life Sciences of that city.

It is kept for conservation only. At the end of 2014 there were 1170 birds; the Z11 strain was kept at Życzyn from 1972 until 1995, when it was moved to the National Research Institute of Animal Production experimental station in Chorzelów. The Green-legged Partridge is well adapted to extensive management, it is not suited to intensive management, becomes subject to cannibalism, feather loss and feather-pulling if kept enclosed. Egg-laying performance is poor. Both meat and eggs have good flavour; the breed is kept only for reasons of conservation
