Todd Fisher’s Career

Entertainment industry

Todd Fisher's involvement in the entertainment industry dates back to his infancy when he appeared in documentaries and short films featuring his mother. During his youth, Fisher developed a keen interest in the technical aspects of filmmaking, engaging in the production of commercials, short films, and documentaries. 

Remarkably, he became one of the youngest members of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) labor union. In the 1980s, Fisher's professional journey gained momentum, marked by his membership in the American Society of Cinematographers. He collaborated with Trinity Broadcasting Network, showcasing his talents as the writer, producer, and director of the comedy television program "Nightlight." 

This satirical show, inspired by "Saturday Night Live," featured notable actors and comedians like Dan Aykroyd, Jerry Houser, Miguel Ferrer, Rene Russo, and Bernie Leadon. In 1991, Fisher achieved a significant milestone by producing his first feature film, "Twogether," starring Nick Cassavetes and Brenda Bakke.

In 1972, she established the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum (HMPM) as a federally tax-exempt corporation, acknowledged as the world's largest individual collection of Hollywood memorabilia. In 1992, Reynolds and her husband, Richard Hamlett, acquired the Paddlewheel Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip for $2.2 million, with plans for a $15 million renovation that included creating a home for the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum.

The revamped establishment, renamed The Debbie Reynolds Hotel & Casino, reopened in 1993. Todd Fisher, in 1994, designed the 500-seat showroom where Reynolds showcased her nightclub act, featuring songs from her remarkable 50-year career. The showroom also doubled as a complete television production studio. Alongside the showroom, Fisher conceptualized and designed the Hollywood Motion Picture Museum. Facing financing challenges, Reynolds took the company public to raise funds. Upon its opening in the following year, the museum became one of the first sites in the United States to feature high-definition video projection.
