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.
