BIOGRAPHY

Expand Full Bio

The daughter of crooners Eddie Fisher and Connie Stevens, this loopy player made her film debut in the now-forgotten comedy Pretty Smart opposite her sister, Tricia Leigh (who was nowhere near as famous as their half-sibling, Carrie). In the '90s, Fisher tackled a host of quirky guest spots and small big-screen parts before landing her breakout role as the self-centered buddy on Ellen DeGeneres' first eponymous sitcom. After the show ended, the attractive actress starred in a slew of short-lived sitcoms and low-rent TV-movies, and showed off her pedigree pipes on Broadway in a revival of Cabaret. But a recurring role on Desperate Housewives and her turn on 'Til Death as a miserably married mom (the opposite of her happy real-life relationship with cinematographer husband Christopher Duddy) marked her return to network prime time.
