Of course Fisher sings a different tune in this interview www.adultcybermart.com/InterviewAmyFisher.html
from www.dailymail.co.uk – She became notorious in 1992 aged just 17 when she shot dead her married lover’s wife – earning her the nickname The Long Island Lolita.
Now Amy Fisher, 36, has told Celebrity Rehab doctor Dr Drew Pinsky that she felt making porn was the only job she could do.
Amy broke down in floods of tears as she confessed on the VH1 show that not only did she feel it was the only paid work she could get, but that she had to get drunk to do it.
Amy shot and severely wounded Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of her lover Joey Buttafuoco, after shooting her in the face.
However, Mary survived – and was able to identify her attacker.
Amy served six years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree aggravated assault.
After her parole in 1999, Fisher became a journalist and writer, before embarking on a career as a pornographic actress in 2007.
She explained: ‘I make adult films, and I look at it as they are offering employment – I need employment, no one else will give me employment.’
‘I just go with it – I don’t know what else to do.’
