Born in Oman but raised in Australia, Fisher published two teen romance novels in high school, then traveled to France and enrolled in a Parisian drama school, where she learned miming and juggling. Though Fisher's onscreen presence technically dates back to the late '80s, with a plum role in the small-screen Aussie soaper Home and Away, she took her Hollywood bow over a decade later, as Shaggy's girlfriend, Mary Jane, in the Raja_Gosnell-directed Scooby-Doo (2002). Sandwiched in between forgettable features such as Dallas_362 (2003) and London (2005) came Fisher's portrayal of Heather in the David_O._Russell "existential comedy" I_Heart_Huckabees (2005).
Her real breakthrough came thanks to a scene-stealing supporting performance as a loony, sex-starved bridesmaid in "Wedding Crashers" (2005), where Fisher nearly pulled the rug out from under comedy heavyweights Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn in the top-grossing comedy of the year. In the wake of her hilarious performance, Fisher landed supporting roles in a pair of little seen indies - the grating and self-important "London" (2005) and the "The Lookout" (2007), a crime drama that was awarded Best First Feature (for debuting director Scott Frank) at the Sundance Film Festival. However, her arrival as a big screen comedienne able to open films on her name alone continued to elude the actress.
t's a girl! Fisher and Cohen welcome their first child, a daughter named Olive. Though the couple never confirmed her pregnancy, Fisher later reveals to Allure she gained 60 lbs. while expecting. "Häagen-Dazs and I had a great time together," she jokes
