early years
The girl was born in England in the spring of 1952. Her father worked as a builder in a large company, and her mother was engaged in the household. Father's work involved constant moving, so the family very often changed their place of residence. After the birth of their daughter, the parents settled in the United States, where Fischer graduated from high school.
Francis was fascinated by creativity from an early age. She had no doubt that sooner or later she would definitely become a famous artist. After receiving her primary education, the girl got a job as a secretary in a small office and began attending a theater studio, where she studied acting.
Frances's creative biography began in the city of Abingdon, where she moved from Texas, deciding to start an independent life. There, for the first time, the girl appeared on the stage of the local theater, and soon she was already enrolled in the main cast of the troupe. Fischer worked on stage for over ten years, but only in the 80s began to try her hand at cinema.
Film career
Francis's early career in cinema was not very successful. Fisher played her first small role in the comedy film "Can She Bake a Cherry Pie". Then she starred in episodic roles in the series: "Guiding Light", "On the Threshold of Night", "Days of Our Lives", "The Equalizer", "Matlock".
In 1987, Fischer played one of the roles in the thriller Tough Guys Don't Dance. The picture completely failed at the box office and received the Golden Raspberry anti-award for the worst directorial work.
Two years later, Frances starred in Lost Angels, where D. Sutherland became her partner on the set, and in the comedy Pink Cadillac with Clint Eastwood. Then the actress reappeared on the screens in television projects: "Young Riders", "Cruel City", "Law and Order". It wasn't until the early 90s that Fischer got his first real success.
Clint Eastwood invited Francis to one of the central roles in his new painting "The Unforgiven". The film was a huge success with audiences and grossed a record box office. The film was awarded an Oscar and was a real breakthrough in Fischer's acting career.
The actress got her next starring role in the famous film by J. Cameron "Titanic", where she played the role of Ruth Dewitt Bukater. Titanic became the highest-grossing film at the time, grossing over $ 2 billion at the box office and winning eleven Oscars.
