Her unusual appearance was also put memorable use in two off-beat television series, each featuring odd characters in quirky scenarios: the HBO series Dream On (1990) and David Lynch 's short-lived On the Air (1992), which was cancelled after only three episodes. Like Cry-Baby, the latter series was set in the 1950s; McGuire played the role of Nicole Thorne, a ``shrewish publicist'' to a television executive. Notwithstanding the quirkiness of the series, she grasped the opportunity to break away from her Hatchetface image.
