Florence Louise Fisher Bacolod (September 18, 1918 – May 26, 1972), known as Florrie Fisher, was an American motivational speaker in the 1960s and 1970s who traveled to high schools in the United States, telling stories about her past as a heroin addict and prostitute.
Her eccentric mannerisms and often lurid stories — which included tales of prostitution, jailhouse lesbianism, and botched abortions — made her into a cult figure in the late 1970s and 80s, with VHS tapes of her speaking engagements becoming collector's items.
She is better known today as the inspiration for the character Jerri Blank on the television series Strangers with Candy.
