"Raised by unconventional Irish Catholics who knew 'how to drink, how to dance, how to talk, and how to stir up the devil,' Kate Mulgrew grew up with poetry and drama in her bones. But in her mother, a would-be artist burdened by the endless arrival of new babies, young Kate saw the consequences of a dream deferred. Determined to pursue her own no matter the cost, at 18 she left her small Midwestern town for New York, where, studying with the legendary Stella Adler, she learned the lesson that would define her as an actress: 'Use it,' Adler told her. Whatever disappointment, pain, or anger life throws in your path, channel it into the work. It was a lesson she would need. At twenty-two, just as her career was taking off, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. Having already signed the adoption papers, she was allowed only a fleeting glimpse of her child. As her star continued to rise, her life became increasingly demanding and fulfilling, a whirlwind of passionate love affairs, life-saving friendships, and bone-crunching work. Through it all, Mulgrew remained haunted by the loss of her daughter, until, two decades later, she found the courage to face the past and step into the most challenging role of her life, both on and off screen. We know Kate Mulgrew for the strong women she's played--Captain Janeway on Star Trek; the tough-as-nails 'Red' on Orange is the New Black. Now, we meet the most inspiring and memorable character of all: herself. By turns irreverent and soulful, laugh-out-loud funny and heart-piercingly sad, Born With Teeth is the breathtaking memoir of a woman who dares to live life to the fullest, on her own terms"--… (meer)

Like every autibiography theres alwasy those weird moments when you as a fan get reminded that you are a fan of a 2 dimensional aspect of the person or character that you "know". So its very strange to see parts come to life to really flesh out the reality... and its not always easy topics for you as a reader/consumer... but I appreciate that Kate didn't pull any punches. She made decisions and she lived with them and there wasn't shame or self flagellation. I can respect that even if my views are different. But again, my views and opinions don't matter. This is Kate's story and challenges and pain, and its important because its hers. ( )

Wonderful autobiography. I listened to the audio book, narrated by the author. Hearing her stories narrated in her own voice was wonderful.

I didn't know much (anything) outside of some of her major acting roles. I loved learning about her life and her family. She's had her share of tragedy, comedy and love - and she's a great writer. ( )

Fascinating story of an actress I've long admired. This volume touches on her career, her loves, and various situations that informed her character. I listened to the audiobook, red by the author. It includes an interview with Rosie O'Donnell that is both inspiring and entertaining. ( )

It was very well written. I think that all of my reviews start, "It was very well written" or something regarding the technical aspect because of the question at the top of this box, "What did you think?" The first thing that came to mind was how well Kate Mulgrew told her story, or what of her story that she wanted to tell. That last bit I think is the key to what makes this biography stand out.

Kate Mulgrew told a cohesive story of her search for love from family, search for a soul mate and search for success from her love in acting.

I won't tell anything else here. I want you to read it. Better yet, listen to the audiobook. Kate Mulgrew narrates the book. ( )
