Isla Lang Fisher (born 3 February 1976) is an Australian actress known for comedic roles in films including Wedding Crashers (2005) and Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009). Born in Muscat, Oman, to Scottish parents Elspeth Reid, a romance novelist, and Brian Fisher, a banker for the United Nations, she relocated to Perth, Australia, at age six and later to Sydney. Fisher began her career in Australian television, portraying Shannon Reed on the soap opera Home and Away from 1994 to 1997, earning two Logie Award nominations for Most Popular Actress.
Her transition to Hollywood featured a breakout performance as Gloria Cleary in Wedding Crashers, which garnered an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Breakthrough Performance and a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Breakout Female. Fisher subsequently starred in films such as Definitely, Maybe (2008), Now You See Me (2013) and its sequel (2016), The Great Gatsby (2013) as Myrtle Wilson, and Keeping Up with the Joneses (2016), often playing vivacious or quirky characters. More recently, she has appeared in the comedy series Wolf Like Me (2021–present) and authored children's books including the Marge in Charge series.
The couple became engaged in 2004 after approximately two years of dating. Their engagement lasted six years, during which Fisher converted to Judaism in a traditional ceremony to align with Cohen's heritage.
Fisher and Cohen married on March 15, 2010, in a private Jewish ceremony under a chuppah at a hotel in Paris, attended by only six guests. The event was kept secret from the public, with the couple prioritizing privacy amid their rising careers.
