Beginning in the 1990s, Fisher began taking work as a script doctor. She worked on countless popular movies. Yet, this is still one of the lesser-known aspects of her career. It deserves to have light shed on it, as her impact there is just as important as her status as one of the most important women in science fiction.Script doctors are one of the most underappreciated aspects of the filmmaking process.
