In 1990, Marshall had a guest role as Iris West, the love interest of Flash (Barry Allen) on the short lived Flash TV Series in the opening pilot episode. Then, in 1991, she guest-starred on Superboy with a young Clark Kent before he called himself Superman, playing the villainous Christina Riley, a woman who is, in secret, a werewolf. Both series are part of DC Comics media. In 1992, Marshall had a three-episode guest role on The Wonder Years and later guest-starred on shows such as Seinfeld, Nash Bridges, Grapevine and Diagnosis: Murder. Later on in 1992, she starred in the movie Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, as "Terri". In 1994, she got her first sitcom role on Wild Oats. In 1995 Marshall started in the science fiction cult classic TV Movie W.E.I.R.D. World (directed by William Maloneas) as Dr. Abby O'Reardon, an evil scientist who rejuvenates her boss (and later becomes his mother) and is bent in turning grown men into babies. After a few years in B movies, Marshall gained a role on a second series, 1997's Chicago Sons. In the same year, she landed a recurring role on Spin City and starred alongside Bette Midler and Dennis Farina in the film That Old Feeling, where her character fell in love with one played by Danny Nucci.
