Today she is a successful actress with great career, but things weren’t always that good for Isla Fisher. In an interview with Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine she spoke about her struggle to succeed as an actress in Hollywood.

Isla says that it was very hard for her since she had absolutely no help and was even turned down by the agent who represented her husband Sacha Baron Cohen.

”I really have had no help. In fact, the one time I did ask for help was after my agent in LA fired me. I was auditioning for all sorts of things but kept getting told ‘no’, so she just fired me! So anyway, I said to Sacha, who was my boyfriend at the time, ‘Can you ask your agent if they’ll represent me?’ And his agent said, ‘No way’. It was the only favor I’d ever asked, and I was like, ‘OK… great’. But it spurred me on. I’ve had no helping hand in Hollywood. But in general I’ve found that when it comes to getting jobs, what’s meant for you can’t pass you by,” Isla said.

The actress also said that women in Hollywood back each other and she is grateful for all the support she gets from her female colleagues.
