Joely Fisher, an actress/singer (“Ellen” “Til Death” “Last Man Standing,” is true child of Hollywood. Her late father was the singer Eddie Fisher and her mom is the actress/singer Connie Stevens. Carrie Fisher, to whom she was close, was her beloved half sister. Joely is about to direct her first feature, “Oliver Storm,” which will be shot in Thailand.
We caught up with her at Doris Bergman’s 10th Anniversary Oscar Style Lounge and Party at Fig and Olive in West Hollywood. Fisher, who has directed and acted in many TV series, is eying a trilogy, along with a book and interactive game for the family adventure story. (Yes, this is the same Joely Fisher who starred in 95 episodes of “Ellen” in the 90s and was there when Degeneres had her brilliant and brave coming out.)
Co-written by her sister Tricia Leigh Fisher, the film is not cast yet, but she hopes it’s with some of her showbiz friends she’s grown up with. “I’ve grown up in this business. So I’m trying to create a repertory company. I have a barn now, lets put on a show!” Her book, “Growing Up Fisher: Musings, Memories, And Misadventures,” released this past November, is still doing well. Her sister is always “non stop on my mind. I miss Carrie desperately all the time.”
