Margarita Fischer was born on February 12, 1886 in Missouri Valley, Iowa, USA. She was an actress and writer, known for Molly of the Follies (1919), A Midsummer's Love Tangle (1914) and The Merry Wives of Windsor (1910). She was married to Harry A. Pollard. She died on March 11, 1975 in Encinitas, California, USA.
She is well known for her role as an African-American slave girl in the Harriet Beecher Stowe three-reel epic Uncle Tom's Cabin. She was co-featured with Harry Pollard in this Universal feature. It was in this role, as Eliza, that Fischer won a long-term contract with the American Film Company in Santa Barbara, California. She received international acclaim as the American Beauty of the screen. Her face was pictured in the heart of a rose, which became one of the movie's trade marks. Pollard directed the Universal superproduction of Uncle Tom's Cabin which was released in 1927. This time Margarita was cast in the more mature role of Eliza.
During World War I Fischer changed the spelling of her last name to Fisher because of the anti-German sentiment in America. She is sometimes credited as Margarieta Fisher, Marguerite Fisher, Margarite Fisher, and Margurita Fisher.
