Maeve McGuire is a Actor American born on 24 july 1937
Maeve McGuire (born July 24, 1937) 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 1974 and from 1975 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). When she first left the show, the character was presumed dead, but after a year's hiatus, returned. During that time, the character of Adam was brutally murdered and Nicole was paired with handsome new doctor Miles Cavanaugh (Joel Crothers). She was then replaced by actress Jayne Bentzen, almost twenty years her junior.
Between her two stints on The Edge of Night, she played Maude Lassiter Palmer on the short-lived nighttime show Beacon Hill.
McGuire was also well known for playing the role of Elena DePoulignac (Cecile's sophisticated mother) on Another World from 1981 to 1983, and has appeared on other daytime programs, including Search for Tomorrow, on which she appeared with William Prince, the actor who had originated the role of her father Ben Travis, and Ann Flood who played her friend Nancy Karr on The Edge of Night. McGuire took over the part of Kate McCleary, a matriarchal role which had earlier been played by the older Jo Henderson.
She later played Judith Sheffield, the socialite mother of a gay teen played by Ben Jorgensen, on the soap opera All My Children. 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 The Guiding Light for a brief time in 1993.

The film is narrated in flashback by Jake Briggs (Eric Stoltz), a young aspiring playwright, culminating in the production of one of his plays off-Broadway by agent Carl Fisher (Tony Curtis). The play is a flop, at least in part because the lead parts are given to two actors, Dana Coles and Jason Brett (Kathleen Turner and Chris Noth), who are "not right" for the roles. Along the journey, Jake reviews his relationships with girlfriend Joanne (Mary-Louise Parker), best friend Chris (Ralph Macchio), his mother Shirley (Jill Clayburgh), and his mostly absentee father Roman (Paul Guilfoyle). The film ends with Jake and Joanne going their separate ways, mostly because of competing career goals, and Jake hoping to write more plays with greater success.

Fifth Avenue socialite Ouisa Kittredge (Stockard Channing) and her art dealer husband Flan (Donald Sutherland), are parents of "two at Harvard and one at Groton". But the narrow world inhabited by the Kittredges and their public status as people interested in the arts make them easy prey for Paul (Will Smith). Paul is a skillful con-artist, who mysteriously appears at their door one night, injured and bleeding, claiming to be a close college friend of their Ivy League kids, as well as the son of Sidney Poitier. Ouisa and Flan are much impressed by Paul's fine taste, keen wit, articulate literary expositions and surprising culinary skill. His appealing facade soon has the Kittredges putting him up, lending him money and taking satisfaction in his praise for their posh lifestyle. Paul's scheme continues until he brings home a hustler, and his actual indigence is revealed. The shocked Kittredges kick him out when it is revealed that they are but the most recent victims of the duplicity with which Paul has charmed his way into many upper-crust homes along the Upper East Side. Paul's schemes become highbrow legend – anecdotal accounts of which are bantered about at their cocktail parties. In the end, Paul has a profound effect on the many individuals who encounter him, linking them in their shared experience.
