All five of its issues were published while the show was still on the air, and included letters from D. C. Fontana, Gene Roddenberry, and most of the cast members, and an article by future Hugo and Nebula winner Lois McMaster Bujold.

However, after Geneviève Bujold was cast, she requested the character be renamed " Nicole Janeway ".

Bujold had mainly feature film experience, was unprepared for a schedule demanded by series television, and was unwilling to do news interviews.

That day, film actress Geneviève Bujold was selected to play Janeway, but left the role after only two days of filming, due to the demanding production schedule required for a television show.

* Geneviève Bujold was the first actress chosen to play Captain Nicole Janeway, and several scenes were filmed with her over the first two days of filming.

The film was nominated for 8 Genie Awards in 1980, of which it won 5, including Best Achievement in Direction ( Bob Clark ), Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role ( Geneviève Bujold ) and Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role ( Christopher Plummer ).

While that film featured a larger " all star " cast ( in fact, Universal had approached several, including Steve McQueen and Paul Newman, to star in Earthquake-but they had already been signed for Inferno ), Universal was able to land Charlton Heston in the lead role, along with Ava Gardner ( who signed at the proverbial " 11th hour " simply because she wanted to spend the summer in Los Angeles ), George Kennedy, Lorne Greene, Geneviève Bujold ( who agreed to a part in the film to head off an impending lawsuit by Universal over a prior project ), Richard Roundtree ( riding a wave of success from the Shaft film series ), former evangelical Marjoe Gortner as an antagonist, and newcomer Victoria Principal.

Also, Elizabeth Montgomery was the first choice for Denise, but Jacqueline Bisset, Candice Bergen, Sharon Gless, Sondra Locke, Meredith Baxter, Kate Jackson, Susan St. James and Susan Clark were also in the running for the part finally played by Genevieve Bujold.

He went on to star with Geneviève Bujold in Antigone which was later made into a film in 1974.

After an absence from filmmaking of almost a decade, Almond was called in to direct the film Final Assignment ( 1980 ), and went on directing three more films ; Ups and Downs ( 1983 ), Captive Hearts ( 1987 ) and The Dance Goes On ( 1991 ), the later featuring once again Bujold, and their son Matt Almond.

Paul Almond was first married to National Ballet of Canada leading dancer Angela Leigh, then to Geneviève Bujold from 1967 to 1973, their son, Matthew James Almond, was born in 1968.

Bujold was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in the 1979 federal election as the Liberal Member of Parliament for Bonaventure — Îles-de-la-Madeleine.

The Liberal party was defeated in the election, and Bujold joined the Liberals on the opposition benches.

Bujold attempted to regain his seat in the 1988 federal election but was unsuccessful.

In 1973 the novel was made into a film directed by Claude Jutra and starring Geneviève Bujold and Richard Jordan.

It was praised by many notable figures in the genre, including Lois McMaster Bujold and Jane Yolen, and was nominated for a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Adult Literature as well.

Bujold devised for this planet a history which allowed for “ swords ‘ n ’ spaceships .” Barrayar in the lifetime of Miles Vorkosigan commands spaceships, computers, and other high technology, but its culture remembers dueling, examines newborns for defects and practices infanticide if any are found, celebrates the Emperor ’ s birthday by handing him bags of gold, and provides liveried life-sworn servants to carry love-letters sealed with the writer's blood.

The roots of the Vorkosigan Saga lie in an early short story by Bujold, " Dreamweaver's Dilemma ", which features a planet called Beta Colony and a character with the last name of Naismith.

In the late 1960s, he ambitiously attempted to establish a quality Canadian art cinema, with his understated and highly interiorized films Isabel ( 1968 ), The Act of the Heart ( 1970 ) and Journey ( 1972 ), featuring his then-wife actress Geneviève Bujold.

Bujold founded Consilium, a public affairs consultancy in Quebec that merged with GPC Public Affairs in 1994.

Professional science fiction writers who have written drabbles include Brian Aldiss and Gene Wolfe ( both of whom contributed to " The Drabble Project ) and Lois McMaster Bujold ( whose novel Cryoburn finishes with a sequence of five drabbles, each told from the point of view of a different character ).

The Vorkosigan Saga is a series of science fiction novels and short stories set in a common fictional universe by American author Lois McMaster Bujold.

Bujold ’ s approach varies, sometimes crossing genres.

The various forms of society and government Bujold presents often reflect 20th-century politics.

Bujold pays token attention to the variations in measurable time units from planet to planet, positing an earth-based “ standard year ” which holds through the entire Nexus.

Bujold herself has commented that her posited system is neither technologically nor economically feasible, but is rather a convenience for storytelling.

Bujold presents issues of technological obsolescence and the high rate of failure of R & D projects in personal terms, via bioengineering.

Human life requires Earth-based botanical life, and Bujold devotes a good deal of attention in some novels to this.

Bujold presents a variety of realistic food supply technologies, including hydroponics, cultured or vat-grown meat, and fish farming.

Bujold ’ s future is one in which genetic manipulation can produce almost any kind of clone or hybrid.

The Nexus allows Bujold, paradoxically, to imagine a world in which travel and communication require far more time and effort than in the real-life 21st century, since the wormhole jumps present a special barrier.

Although Bujold explores and satirizes many kinds of societies and prejudices, her universe lacks or fails to consider several sources of social organization and prejudice on Earth: language, skin color, and religion.

Instead, Bujold builds prejudice into the “ locale ,” i. e. planetary, economics and history.

The novels have been translated into a number of languages ; see the catalog of covers of various international editions at Bujold Cover Art Archive.

When beginning her first novel, Shards of Honor, Bujold incorporated these elements, but greatly expanded.
