The following biography
is from
Wikipedia.org
“The
Free Encyclopedia.”
Isla Lang Fisher (born on February 3, 1976) is an
Australian actress and author.
Fisher was born in Muscat, Oman to Scottish
Presbyterian parents, and now resides in Los Angeles with her fiancé English
comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
In 2002, she had a part in Scooby-Doo as Mary-Jane,
Shaggy's love interest. A larger role in Wedding Crashers in 2005 won her the
Breakthrough Performance Award at the MTV Movie Awards.
In 2006 Fisher starred as Becca, a Manhattan party
host in the offbeat relationship drama London alongside Jessica Biel, Chris
Evans and Jason Statham.
While promoting the film Wedding Crashers
(co-starring Owen Wilson), she was officially crowned the 1000th guest on
Australian talk show Rove Live on August 2, 2005. She entered the set ahead of
Wilson, thereby winning the title by a mere two meters.
She supports Chelsea F.C. [1]

Reported conversion to Judaism
It was reported that she has recently converted to
Judaism [1][2] in order to marry Cohen, who is Jewish.[3][4]
It is not known what type of conversion to Judaism
she underwent. If Cohen is indeed a Kohen then their marriage could not be
conducted according to Orthodox Judaism which does not permit a Cohen/Kohen to
marry a convert.[citation needed] These conditions are not required by Reform
Judaism.[citation needed]
