Catherine Maria Fischer (1 June 1741 – 10 March 1767), known as Kitty Fisher, was a prominent British courtesan. From her teenage years onward, Fisher developed a carefully molded public image, which was enhanced by acknowledgement from Sir Joshua Reynolds and other artists. By emphasizing Fisher's beauty, audacity, and charm, portraits of her, along with newspaper and magazine articles promoted her reputation, prompting spectators to view her with awe. She was one of the world's first celebrities who was not famous for being an actress, musician, or member of the royalty, but simply for being famous. Her life exemplifies the emergence of mass media publishing and fame in an era when capitalism, commercialism, global markets, and rising emphasis on public opinion were transforming England.

  • Catherine Marie Fischer "Kitty" Fisher, född 1741, död 1767, var en brittisk kurtisan och stilikon. Hon tillhörde sin samtids berömdheter och hennes kändisskap anses exemplifiera det framväxande massmediala kändisskapet under 1700-talet. Hon var en av konstnären Joshua Reynolds modeller, och hennes liv, skönhet och personliga attribut omtalades ofta i pressen och gjorde henne till en viktig samtidsprofil. Hon finns också omnämnd i många samtida memoarer och dagböcker. Kitty Fischer blev från sin livstid och framåt föremål för biografier, skönlitteratur och slutligen också film. (sv)
