Amy Elizabeth Fisher (born August 21, 1974) is an American woman.
She became known in the media as the Long Island Lolita in 1992. That year, at age seventeen, she shot Mary Jo Buttafuoco, the wife of Joey Buttafuoco. She was originally charged with attempted murder. Fisher later pleaded guilty to first-degree aggravated assault. She was in prison for just under seven years. In 1999, she was paroled. Fisher later became a writer, webcam model and a pornographic actress.
Fisher became very jealous of Joey Buttafuoco's wife. Fisher then got a .25 caliber handgun. When the wife answered the door, Fisher told her that Joey Buttafuoco was having an affair with Fisher's (imaginary) younger sister. The conversation lasted 15 minutes. Mary Jo got angry. She then told Fisher to leave and turned her back to return to the house. That was when Fisher took out the gun, struck Mary Jo with it and shot her in the head. Fisher dropped the gun and the shirt. She came back for them.
The police interviewed Joey Buttafuoco. He told them Amy Fisher could be the shooter. When his wife, Mary Jo became conscious, she identified Fisher as the shooter.
Amy Fisher was born in Merrick, New York.
According to Alan Ball, Fisher's story was an inspiration to him in writing the script for the 1999 film American Beauty.
