Isla Lang Fisher was born on February 3, 1976 in Muscat, Oman to Scottish parents Elspeth Reid and Brian Fisher, her father worked as a banker for the U.N.

She spent her early childhood in Scotland before moving to Australia with her family in the early 1980s.

From a young age, Isla showed an interest in both acting and writing. At nine years old, she was appearing in Australian TV commercials.

She landed some small parts in the Australian television series Bay Cove (1993) (aka "Bay City"). This led to a bigger part in the television series Paradise Beach (1993). When that show ended, she landed a role in the long-running Australian soap opera Home and Away (1988). While working on that show, she indulged in another of her passions, writing, and published two best-selling novels, "Seduced By Fame" and "Bewitched". In 1997, she was picked by the readers of FHM magazine as #35 on the list of the "100 Sexiest Women in the World", and in 2003, she placed 26th.

Isla has since appeared in the films De boda en boda (2005), The lookout (2007), Flipado sobre ruedas (2007) and Definitivamente, quizás (2008), Confesiones de una compradora compulsiva (2009), and Ahora me ves... (2013). - IMDb Mini Biography By: frankfob2@yahoo.com

Was once engaged to Darren Day.

She almost drowned during shooting a scene for Ahora me ves... (2013), in which she performed in a piranha tank. The top of the tank remained opened so that Fisher would be able to swim to the top to get some air, and there was also an emergency lever inside the tank that, if pulled, would alert the crew that she needed help. During one take, Fisher was running out of air and tried to swim to the top, but the chains on the handcuffs she was wearing got stuck on the bottom of the tank, so she was unable to swim to the top or pull the lever. She then attempted to alert the crew by hitting the glass of the tank, but since her character is supposed to be panicked and scared in the scene, the crew thought she was acting. The stunt coordinator finally realized that something was wrong after he noticed that her handcuffs were stuck.

Baz Luhrmann is her favorite director and she agreed to star in his film El gran Gatsby(2013), without reading the script.
