Her older sister is actress Joely Fisher.[1] Other siblings include half brother Todd Fisher and half-sister actress Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame, whose mother is actress Debbie Reynolds. Fisher's parents divorced when she was a baby, and she, along with her sister Joely, were raised by Stevens. As children, both Tricia and Joely began performing on stage in their mother's Las Vegas show. They toured the world with their mother, attending many different schools and having tutors. Both girls would go on to attend Beverly Hills High School.
Fisher made her debut in the 1985 crime drama Stick, starring Burt Reynolds, Candice Bergen, George Segal, and Charles Durning. She then starred as Daphne Ziegler in the 1986 comedy, Pretty Smart. In 1987, Fisher appeared in the television movie Strange Voices, opposite Valerie Harper. The following year, she landed a role in the TV movie Bring Me the Head of Dobie Gillis, opposite Bob Denver. In 1989, Fisher appeared in two movies, Hollywood Chaos and C.H.U.D.
