Isla Fisher was born on February 3, 1976, in Muscat, the capital of the Sultanate of Oman, to Scottish parents. The family moved to Perth, Australia, where Fisher grew up, entering acting as a child. During her teens she starred in the soap operas Paradise Beach and Home and Away. And following in the footsteps of her mother, who’s a writer, Fisher released two novels for young readers, Bewitched and Seduced by Fame. In the U.S. she started to develop her big-screen career, making her film debut as Shaggy’s girlfriend in Scooby-Doo (2002). Other projects followed like David O. Russell’s existential comedy I Heart Huckabees (2004). Fisher then made a big splash playing a lascivious bridesmaid opposite Vince Vaughn in 2005’s hit comedy Wedding Crashers. After the 2008 romantic outing Definitely, Maybe, Fisher landed her first film role as lead with 2009’s Confessions of a Shopaholic, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and adapted from the Sophie Kinsella novel. Fisher has done animation work as well over the years, with voiceover roles in Horton Hears a Who (2008), Rango (2011) and Rise of the Guardians (2012). Then in the summer of 2013, the actress landed two international hits, both more serious dramatic fare: the ensemble project Now You See Me.
