Catherine Schell As Captain Catherine Janeway?
For reasons known only to me, but quite possibly relating to Gerry Anderson's passing yesterday (2012 12 26), I've been digging up material regarding Space: 1999. Some of it is relevant to the roleplaying game Traveller, where on the Mongoose Publishing forum there is a lively discussion on how to stat up the setting for the roleplaying game. Things such as the mass of an Eagle Transporter (328 tons) and its top speed (15% of lightspeed).
And then I stumbled upon the iMDB entry for the actress who played "Maya," the Psychon shapeshifter in season 2 of Space: 1999, namely Catherine Schell - an actress on whom Ihad have one hell of a crush.
Whereupon I encountered this passage.
She was the first actress considered for the role of Captain Kathryn Janeway in "Star Trek: Voyager" (1995). However Canadian actress Geneviève Bujold was cast in that role, only to resign after two days of filming because she was not used to the demands of a weekly TV series. The role finally went to American actress Kate Mulgrew, a seasoned actress.
Good Grud damn. Imagine. Just imagine, Catherine Schell in Star Trek: Voyager for seven years.
Damn, I'd have been riveted to the screen.
