Actress Joely Fisher is the latest celebrity to join the likes of Madonna and Angelina Jolie in adopting a child of color. However, Fisher and husband Christopher Duddy decided to keep their search within the United States. The couple has added Olivia Luna, an African-American newborn from Los Angeles, to their family.
 
Prior to the adoption, the couple had four children: Cameron, 22, Collin, 20, Skylar, 7 and True, 2. The “’Til Death” star, who has appeared on the ABC hit series “Desperate Housewives,” is 40 years old.
