Early life
Fisher was born Lizabeth Davis Frehling, the granddaughter of Marjorie Faith (née Switow) and George Allen Frehling, who was born in Louisville, Kentucky, on April 6, 1948. Her parents were of Russian Jewish descent. Her parents divorced when she was four years old, and the following year, her mother married multimillionaire Max Fisher, who adopted her and gave her the surname she took.
Fisher, a teenager in Michigan, attended Kingswood School (today's Cranbrook Kingswood School) in Bloomfield Hills (where she briefly dated politician Mitt Romney) and attended college at the University of Michigan, where she left after being offered the opportunity to join Gerald R. Ford's staff as the first female "advance man" in the United States.
Fisher married her first marriage in 1977, but it soon broke down. She sought alcoholism treatment at the Betty Ford Center in 1984; while there, she discovered she was artistically gifted. She returned to New York City, New York, after recovery, and in 1988 she married fellow artist Brian Campbell. The couple migrated to Boca Raton, Florida, and extended their family. Fisher gave birth to son Max, but she and her partner, Zachary, adopted a second son, Zachary. Campbell, 1990, requested a divorce, but Fisher informed him that he was HIV positive. Although their children were not positive, the fisherman learned that she had contracted the virus from him shortly.
