Jodie Fisher was born on July 17,1969, to Polly (Crawford) and Dale Fisher. She was raised in Dallas, Texas, with one younger sister, Jill. Jodie is of Irish, English and Norwegian descent. She started performing at an early age as a dancer and began competing with the Dallas Dolls Drill Team Ensemble. At 16, she won the National Miss Drill Team Competition in Norman, OK. She also competed at the Texas State Fair and in numerous beauty pageants including Miss Teenage America. After graduating from Texas Tech University with her degree in Political Science, Jodie "accidentally" went on a cattle call audition in New York City and booked her first pilot for Aaron Spelling.

In 1992, she joined the Screen Actors Guild and began an intensive two year program with Baron Brown Studios where she studied acting with DW Brown. She has appeared as the lead actress in dozens of films and as a series regular in several TV series including "Age of Love" for NBC. She recently appeared as a guest star on "NCIS: Los Angeles". In 2019, Jodie landed the role of "Julie" as a series regular on "The Real Geezers of Beverly Hills." Jodie lives in Los Angeles and travels frequently to Texas and New York. Even more than acting, she loves being a mom to her son, Jack.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
