The actress Margarita Fisher was already active as an actress as a child and she impersonated among others the role of Adrienne in the play "The Celebrated Case".

She achieved huge popularity in the next years and finally her father formed the Margarita Fischer Stock Company which toured several years at the pacific coast. 

Her acting talent was also noticed by the new medium film and she already made her film debut in 1910 with "There, Little Girl, Don't Cry" (10), "Romeo and Juliet in Our Town" (10), "The Kentucky Pioneer" (10), "The Vampire" (10) and "The Squaw and the Man" (10).

She became a very popular star in no time and she impersonated numerous role in the next years, among them "The Mission in the Desert" (11), "The Portrait" (11), "The Trinity" (12), "The Return of Captain John" (12), "Big Hearted Jim" (12), "The Shadow" (13), "Robinson Crusoe" (13), "Uncle Tom's Cabin" (13), "The Wife" (14), "The Girl Who Dared" (14), "The Other Train" (14), "A Modern Othello" (14) and "The Quest" (15).

During this time Margarita Fischer changed her name into Fisher because of the anti German atmosphere during World War I.

The second half of the 10's was also very successful for Margarita Fisher and she appeared again in many movies. To these productions belong "The Dragon" (16), "The Butterfly Girl" (17), "Robinson Crusoe" (17), "The Mantle of Charity" (18), "The Primitive Woman" (18), "Charge It to Me" (19) and "The Tiger Lily" (19).
