Jodie Fisher: Mark Hurd Scandal Actress's Career In Film & TV


First Posted: 12/30/11 12:14 PM ET Updated: 12/30/11 01:05 PM ET

Jodie Fisher has become best known for her involvement in the sexual harassment scandal that prompted HP CEO Mark Hurd to resign from the company. At this point, it may seem like a career footnote, but as the after-effects of the scandal reverberate -- the letter she wrote that led to his ouster was made public on Friday -- Fisher has begun to act in small movie and TV roles.

This fall, Fisher guest starred in an episode of "NCIS: Los Angeles," playing a woman named Emma White in an episode about a former Navy Intelligence officer who turns out to be living an illegal double life. She also had a bit part in the re-imagining of the classic Peter Fonda film "Easy Rider," in which she played a bartender.

Prior to this mini-renaissance, and before she began a career in consulting and marketing that would eventually lead her to Hurd, Fisher -- sometimes performing under the name Jodie Coady -- featured in a number of B-films, including "Blood Dolls," "Dead By Dawn" (which also starred Shannon Tweed), the Playboy movie "Sheer Passion" and the erotic thriller "Body of Influence 2."

I still don't know who she is. And I'm pretty sure I don't care.

Who's handling this woman's publicity? Wow, they're doing a good job!

There is one big poison pill in all this dastardly episode...Gloria Allred.
She managed, by her presence in the story, to expose the real issue behind the whole sexual harassment story. Isn't there another ambulance chaser in LA?

She certainly has not aged well...
02:54 AM on 01/01/2012
each picture of her just keep getting worse...

Wow, that's just embarrassing for all involved.

I bet she doesn't even use VO5.

Wow! Ugly legs, BIG kneecaps, stringy hair. She is not as hot as she thinks she is. The hair is awful.

If a woman doesn't want a man's attention, it is relatively easy to communicate this information to him. Recommended phrases include: "No." (Simple: one syllable) "No, thank you." (Advanced: three syllables) "If you touch me again, I"m going to break your arm." (Expert: Twelve syllables and a comma)

Since Mr. Hurd appears to be a reasonably intelligent human being (intelligence and taste are not mutually exclusive) and he apparently continued to "pursue" Ms. WhatsHerName "over a period of years", one might be inclined to assume she may not have utilized the aforementioned phrases forcefully and effectively, if at all.

On the other hand, teaming up with Ms. Allred to sue the appropriate well-positioned, successful, affluent public figure "for an undisclosed sum" appears, for some fading starlets at least, to be a more lucrative endeavor than acting in B films, "Playboy movies" (you're kidding, right?) or "erotic thrillers" (which I assume to be industry code for "soft porn"). Middle age and pseudo-porn are not usually a winning combination, if at all. But a lawsuit... $$$!

How long until Dancing With the Stars comes calling?

Ah, yes, because we all know that men always respond to the terms "No", "No, thank you", and "If you touch me again, I'm going to break your arm". My God, you've just solved the issue of stalking! Women just aren't saying no strongly enough!

Hah! Any guy who shows a woman his checking account balance in order to impress her deserves what he gets.

thanks man, I was composing my response as I read that idiot's post.

You said it perfectly.

Which trailer park did she grow up in?

Looks like any old litigant can become a star as long as their seminal moment was fueled by dubious behavior. "America, gotta love it, anyone can be a star!"

Key phrase: "seminal" moment. LOL!
