The film industry never ceases to surprise us with all kinds of productions, and it’s common for certain artists to stand out more than others during specific periods. Few manage to remain at the top decade after decade, and it’s quite typical for recognizable figures to step away from the spotlight gradually.
One such figure who stood out in the ’80s and ’90s is Jami Gertz.
A on-screen icon of the 1980s and 1990s
The Chicago-born actress rose to fame thanks to the film Less Than Zero, in which she starred alongside Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader. Another of her most notable roles was in Twister, the hit 1996 movie that was recently remade. A successful actress in the ’80s and ’90s, Gertz, now 59, was recently spotted walking in Los Angeles in photos published by the Daily Mail. The images surprised many due to the noticeable physical change of the once-recognizable actress, who has distanced herself from the profession in recent years.
Jami Gertz is married to Tony Ressler, an American businessman and owner of the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks. The couple has four children, and thanks to this union, Gertz is currently considered the richest actress in the world. A significant life change, but one that keeps her a recognizable and sought-after figure in the media.
