Margaret "Maggie" Sheffield (born 1979) was a character in the long-running sitcom, The Nanny. She was played by actress Nicholle Tom.

[edit] Shy eldest daughter

Margaret was the eldest daughter of Maxwell and Sarah Sheffield. At first, she felt shy and awkward, and despaired that no boy would ever fall for her. She was forever bickering with her brother, Brighton, who felt that she was a nerd. She thought of him as a troll.

Then, Fran Fine was hired as the new nanny. Fran and Maggie bonded almost instantly. Under Fran's patient tutelage, she blossomed from a shy awkward teenager to a very beautiful young woman. In her father's eyes, she is every bit as beautiful as her mother was.

In school, she and Fran had discovered that her gym coach was the same coach that had tormented Fran when she was Maggie's age. Maggie knew her as Coach Stone, but Fran knew her better as Ms. Wickavitch.

Her father tended to smother her way too much, discouraging her from any kind of activities with boys. It was the Daddy's little girl syndrome, he wanted her to remain his little girl, and he couldn't stand it that she was growing up.

When Fran and her father married, Maggie was one of her maids of honor. She bonded well, even before the marriage, to Fran's mother, and her soon-to-be grandmother, Sylvia and her soon-to-be great-grandmother, Yetta Rosenberg.

Eventually, Maggie met and married an underwear model named Michael, who was related, by marriage, to Barbra Streisand. (His cousin was James Brolin, Ms. Streisand's husband). At the pre-ceremony, Fran experienced premature labor pains, and had to go to the hospital. Then Fran snuck out of the hospital, just as Maxwell had everyone else come to the hospital to see Fran. Dismayed by the failure of her plan, Fran sobbed over the phone! Maggie's wedding was postponed to the next day, and it was beautiful. In the final episode, Maggie and her husband, moved to Venice, where he had a modeling shoot.
