Isla Lang Fisher (born on February 3 1976 in Muscat, Oman to Scottish parents), is an Australian actress, model and author.
She played Shannon Reed, a fiery, opinionated teenager, on Australian soap Home and Away from 1994-1997. During this time, she wrote two books, Seduced by Fame, about an ambitious aspiring actress whose dreams come true when she wins a role on her favourite show, and Bewitched, about a naive ballerina who searches for her father and falls in love for the first time. Most recently, she starred in Wedding Crashers with Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Rachel McAdams, and won praise for her comedic performance in the movie. In June 2006 she collected the Breakthrough Performance prize at the MTV Movie Awards for her role in Wedding Crashers. In 2006 she starred as Becca, a Manhattan party host in the offbeat relationship drama London alongside Jessica Biel, Chris Evans and Jason Statham.
Of Scottish parentage, Fisher now resides in England with her fiancé British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, known for his role as Ali G.
She was officially crowned 1000th guest on Rove Live, a popular Australian talk show, on August 2, 2005. She was visiting the show to promote the film Wedding Crashers with co-star Owen Wilson. She entered the set ahead of Wilson, thereby winning the title by a mere two meters.
