On Christmas morning, 2001, Francesca and her mother, Frances Fisher, narrowly
escaped a fire that consumed their house. Francesca climbed out
her bedroom window and leapt into the arms of her mother and a
neighbor, and was treated at a hospital for smoke inhalation. Frances
was also treated for burns on her hands. Francesca's father, Clint Eastwood,
flew in to visit his daughter in the hospital and personally thanked
her rescuers.
