Born: May 11, 1952 in Millford-on-the-Sea

Best Known For: Unforgiven and Titanic.

Early-life: Born May 11, 1952, in Millford-on-the-Sea. Her father was a construction engineer who travelled the world with his job, which meant Fisher lived in such far-flung places as Canada, Italy, France and Brazil before settling in Texas, in 1964 where she finished her schooling. A keen actress from an early age, she eventually moved to New York to study with acclaimed teachers Stella Adler and Lee Strasbourg after her divorce in 1972.

Career: Fisher's first professional roles came on the stage. In 1976 she made her TV debut in The Edge of the Night, and stayed with the long-running series for 1981. She also had a spell in soap opera Guiding Light before appearing in her first movie, Heart, in 1997. The films Pink Cadillac, Patty Hearst, and LA Story followed. She also played Lucille Ball in biopic Lucy and Desi: Before the Laughter. Unforgiven was a massive critical and commercial success in 1992, and introduced her to a new set of fans. Since then she's appeared in Titanic, The Lyon's Den, House of Sand and Fog, and Laws of Attraction.

Quote: "The fun of acting for me is trying on the clothes of someone who's completely different. I like diversity."

Trivia: She was in a relationship with Clint Eastwood for six years during the 1990s.
