The Canadian Fizzard had her first play, Subway to Tickle Gut, produced in her native Newfoundland in 1990 and was subsequently commissioned to co-write the screenplay in 1991. The film won an Honorable Mention at the International Short Film Festival in Montreal the following year. A character actress, Anne began her career by playing a ferret and has since played a wide range of roles, from Karen in Speed-the-Plow to an Elizabethan apothecary to a kidney specialist. (Along the way, she did indeed work as a waitress/hostess/coat-check girl in a New York theatre-district restaurant). In 1999 she wrote for, and performed in, Baggage Claim at Ensemble Studio Theatre in New York. The following year, she produced an hour-long show of her own comedy sketches Off-Off-Broadway. Good Opinions is her first full-length script.
