I guess she’s best known for playing the mother in Titanic, but she seems to have had a rather sporadic career. She’s had bit parts in various movies and has done some television movies as well. She appeared in an early episode of Roseanne as a bartender at the Lobo, and she was originally cast as the wife Jill on Home Improvement before getting replaced.
Why didn’t Frances Fisher have a bigger career?

She gave lousy head- like being sucked on by a busted Hoover.

She never seemed patrician enough for her role in Titanic. I wish Miss Dunaway hadn't turned it down.

She got her start playing police detective Deborah Saxon on Edge of Night, 1976-80.

Maybe she didn't want to work all that much.
Dated George Clooney by the way.

Wasn't she lobotomized and committed to a psychiatric loony bin? She seems to have led a colorful life!

She was an unattractive redhead who somehow managed to squeak through with her vacuum seals back on Cermack?.

I’ve been watching her on Edge of Night and think she’s great and vastly underrated.
I had watched her on Guiding Light when I was a teen — she wasn’t well utilized there, but she’s really electric on Edge.

I liked her in The Big Tease with Craig Ferguson.

Her daughter was married for 8 days to Jordan Feldstein (Jonah and Beanie's brother).

That's what I thought, too, r14. Wasn't he incredibly controlling of Sondra Locke?

R12 — I forgot all about that movie, I remember really liking it. Need to watch it again.

The elder probably PAID good money so the Fedsteins were properly Kiboshed for trying to take over the strip.

Was that the guy that Jeremy Pivens character on Entourage was based on?
If Pivens’ character is anything like him in real life, her eight day marriage was nine days too long! Poor girl.

Because she's not that good of an actress. And she's got a weird, all-nostrils type nose.

For reasons that are well known to her.

The Big Tease is on my rotation of rainy day movies. I'm surprised we've never discussed it on DL. Very funny.
