Isla Fisher Biography
Isla Lang Fisher is an Anglo-Australian actress and writer who was married to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and has three children.
Childhood
Isla was born on February 3, 1976, in Muscat, the capital of Oman, where her family was living after moving from the Scottish town of Bathgate. Her father worked for the UN banking system, which meant the family moved frequently. When she was six, the family — parents, Isla, and her four brothers — briefly returned to the UK before moving to Perth, Western Australia.

Career Development
The young Scottish actress started appearing on Australian television, specifically in commercials, from the age of 9. She then landed a role in the popular youth series Paradise Beach. The show gave her valuable experience and helped develop her acting skills.At 18, she joined the cast of 'Home and Away,' one of Australia's longest-running and most popular TV series, which tackled serious issues like teenage pregnancy, alcoholism, drug addiction, suicide, and violence. In 1996, after the role of Shannon Reed in this series, she received a nomination for the television award Logies (this award is named after John Logie Baird, the inventor of mechanical TV, and is considered the Australian equivalent of the Emmy award) in the category "Best Actress".



Her next role as the bride's best friend in the hit 2005 comedy 'Wedding Crashers' marked her first major Hollywood breakthrough. Isla starred alongside comedy heavyweights Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, and Christopher Walken. The role earned her two Teen Choice Award nominations and an MTV Movie Award win for "Breakthrough of the Year."

Fisher's true star-making moment came after several more films (The Lookout, Hot Rod, Definitely, Maybe, The Brothers Solomon), when she landed the lead role in 2009's romantic comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic, filmed based on the eponymous bestseller by British writer Sophie Kinsella. She played a financial journalist who could dish out money advice to readers but couldn't resist a single sale or promotion herself. This circumstance made her take out one loan after another. The performance earned her another Teen Choice Award nomination.
In 'Bachelorette' (2012), she played Katie, one of three friends helping prepare their former classmate's wedding. The twist? They weren't actually friends in school – they'd bullied her for being overweight, but now she was the first to get married, much to their annoyance. While the role didn't earn her awards, the film topped iTunes sales charts before its official release.



In 2016, the British comedy film Grimsby hit theaters, marking the first collaboration between Isla and her husband Sacha Baron Cohen, who wrote the script and starred in one of the key roles. The actress played the assistant to an undercover super agent on a mission to save humanity from a deadly pandemic.
