Maeve McGuire

Maeve McGuire is an American actress, known for her role as Nicole Travis Drake on the soap opera The Edge of Night, which she played from 1968 to 1977. Nicole originally started off as a schemer but as her popularity increased, her character became one of the show's major heroines in a romance with attorney Adam Drake (Donald May). She was then replaced by actress Jayne Bentzen, almost twenty years her junior.

In 1975, she played Maude Lassiter Palmer on the short-lived nighttime show Beacon Hill. On One Life to Live, she played the short-term role of Beverly Crane, an old friend of Sloane Carpenter's (Roy Thinnes) who agreed to pretend to be having an affair with him after he found out he was dying so he wouldn't make his new wife Victoria Lord suffer watching him die.

She also filled in for Eileen Fulton as Lisa on As the World Turns a number of times during the early 1990s and also played Selena, a madame, on Guiding Light for a brief time in 1993.

She has appeared on stage as M'Lynn in off-Broadway's Steel Magnolias, as Irene Livingston in the Jewish Repertory Theatre's Light Up the Sky, and on Broadway in Cyrano de Bergerac (Cassandace), The Miser (Marianne), Mixed Emotions (understudying the character Christine Millman) and Garden District (understudying the characters Mrs. Venable, Miss Foxhill and Grace).
