On the record
Born in Fort Wayne and raised in St. Louis, the record keeps both halves. Pam Beesly on The Office, Emmy-nominated; her mother taught the acting workshop where she first performed at six.
Regina Marie Fischer was born 7 March 1974 in Fort Wayne and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. She took a bachelor's degree in theatre at Truman State University and spent years working office temp jobs — including receptionist work — while auditioning, an apprenticeship that turned out to be direct preparation for her defining role. Cast in 2005 as Pam Beesly, the receptionist of the NBC sitcom The Office, she played the part for all nine seasons (188 episodes), earned a Primetime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series in 2007, and served as a producer on the final season. Her book The Actor's Life: A Survival Guide appeared in 2017, and she later co-created the Office Ladies rewatch podcast, which returned her to the series episode by episode.
