Move over Cameron Diaz, there is a new queen of romantic comedies and her name is Isla Fisher.
Playing one of three love interests alongside rom-com staple Ryan Reynolds in new movie 'Definitely, Maybe', the feisty 31-year-old red-head has come along way since her days in Summer Bay on Australian soap opera 'Home and Away'.
Fisher - who was born in Omar to Scottish parents - and her family moved to Perth when she was nine months old, and her path to Hollywood success started at the tender age of nine when she began appearing in commercials before starring in children's TV shows.
Then in 1994, aged just 18, she become a household name, not only as schoolgirl Shannon Reed in 'Home and Away', but also as the author of two best-selling teen novels 'Bewitched' and 'Seduced by Fame'.
However, after three years, Fisher decided to ditch TV to pursue other dreams and enrolled in a Paris theatre school before taking the much-trodden soap star path and appearing in pantomime in the UK.
Further theatrical roles and a short-lived engagement to British TV star Darren Day followed but Fisher had bigger aspirations.
In 2002 she finally got her big screen debut playing Mary-Jane in the film version of 'Scooby Doo' and was signed up to an American talent agency.
