Joely Fisher - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

A self-proclaimed "road-baby," she has traveled around the world with her mother and sister, sometimes joining her mother onstage during performances. During the Persian Gulf War, Joely performed with her mother and Bob Hope for the troops overseas. Although Joely had decided early to hold off pursuing her own career until after college, she eventually quit her studies to pursue acting full-time. Joely soon landed bit parts on Growing Pains and Blossom, as well as a role in the 1994 Jim Carrey comedy The Mask. Even though the small roles gave her a taste for being on the silver screen, she had been turned down for nearly thirty television pilots before she landed her first major part. At the age of twenty-six, her persistence finally paid off when she landed the role of Paige Clark on the hit television comedy Ellen. For her supporting role on Ellen, which made TV history as the first series centered on a lesbian character, Joely was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and her career was ready to take off. Her personal life also flourished as she fell in love and married cinematographer Christopher Duddy, now the proud father of their daughter, Skylar Grace.
