Fischer wrote and directed the feature film ?Lollilove,? starring herself, Linda Cardellini (NBC?s ?ER?), Judy Greer, and her husband, James Gunn.

Fischer was raised in St. Louis, Missouri where, at the age of 5, she took her first acting class with Sean Gunn (Kirk on the ?Gilmore Girls?). Gunn and Fischer stayed in touch over the years and in October 2000, she married his brother ? writer-director James Gunn.

Much like her character Pam on The Office, Fischer has a talent for administrative work and toiled for many years as both a receptionist and administrative assistant. She can type 85 words per minute with 90 percent accuracy.

A former volunteer with the animal rescue organization Kitten Rescue as a foster parent for sick and injured cats, Fischer has a passion for animals. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, their dog Wesley, and cat Andy.
