Early years

Fisher "was born on a ranch in Wyoming," but she moved with her family to Salt Lake City, Utah, "when a very little girl." She was educated by tutors.

Stage

Fisher appeared in musical comedy, musical farce, fantasy, operetta, revue and revivals. She debuted in Salt Lake City with the Salt Lake Opera Company. In Chicago, "she rose from the chorus of a comic opera company to the ranks of the truly elect, otherwise known as prima donna."
In 1907, an article in The Washington Post described Fisher as having been "for several seasons a prima donna in the Dillingham forces." She appeared with George M. Cohan in 45 Minutes from Broadway and with John Barrymore in Stubborn Cinderella.
A St. Louis Post-Dispatch review of the production of The Goddess of Liberty in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1910 described Fisher's work as follows: "Sallie Fisher is most of the show and she is worth while . She sings well, dances divinely and is as good to look at as one could wish."

Personal life

Fisher was married to Arthur Houghton for 37 years. Houghton was a theatrical manager. After Fisher married him, she "retired at the peak of her career."

Death

Fisher died of a heart attack at her home in Twentynine Palms, California, on June 8, 1950.
