WHERE ARE THEY NOW: JAMIE GERTZ

Do any of you remember actresst Jami Gertz - a popular actress in the 1980s and 1990s? Jami Gertz was unrecognizable during a recent outing 20 years after starring with Helen Hunt in Twister. Gertz, 59, was recently seen an LA restaurant. Gertz, who also appeared alongside Molly Ringwald in Sixteen Candles, reportedly grabbed a bite to eat at the restaurant Alba.

For the dinner excursion, she rocked a black and white striped suit with floral embellishments and black shoes. The talent behind Twister's Dr. Melissa Reeves accessorized with large, gold earrings, a gold necklace, black-framed glasses and a black clutch, wearing her natural gray hair down and tucked partially behind her ears. Best known for cult hits like The Lost Boys and Sixteen Candles, Jamie has successfully transitioned from ’80s starlet to billionaire power player alongside husband Tony Ressler.

Jami got her start as a child actress, but it wasn’t until she was 21 that she broke through with a memorable role in the 1987 addiction drama Less than Zero. It also starred Robert Downey Jr. and Andrew McCarthy.

That same year, she solidified her status as a cult icon of the ’80s by portraying one half of a vampire duo opposite Kiefer Sutherland in The Lost Boys, sharing the screen with notable names like Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Throughout the ’90s, Jami kept up her acting career, with her final big box office hit coming in 1996’s Twister, a thriller starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt.

In 1989, she married her husband, who was then employed at the investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. Her husband is now worth $14 billion making Gertz one of the richest actresses in Hollywood. From time to time Jamie will still act but not in the blockbusters of her youth. She last appeared in a movie in 2022...
