What show is that GIF from, OP?

Less Than Zero. She’s got Madonna’s suit look before Madonna.
And she’s great in it.

I love Jamie Gertz. Unfortunately for her, she is often compared to one of her similar-looking contemporaries, Phoebe Cates.

Unfortunately, neither she or Phoebe could act their way out of a paper bag

Jami was breathtaking in Less Than Zero

I recall reading she married some rich guy.

I couldn't buy her as sexy in Less than Zero after Square Pegs

Wasn’t she snorting and fucking her way across Hollywood in the 80s? Maybe she burned the wrong bridges.

She's married to a billionaire and they own the Atlanta Hawks. I doubt she cares.

She's married to a billionaire. I doubt acting is a priority for her anymore.

She was pretty funny as the mom in a sitcom a few years ago.

She was very average looking and not a very good actress I always wondered why she had a career at all. Pheobe Cates on the other hand was a terrible actress and a stone cold fox.

Don’t forget her iconic role in Lost Boys, who will get that role in the TV show?

I agree OP. But as others noted, she married well and got out while she was still hot. She has kids that she actually gets to see and spend time with (versus having to disappear off to a movie set for months at a time + publicity tours) so I'm thinking she's probably enjoying life.

She was unforgettably brilliant as Muffy Tepperman in "Square Pegs."

I liked her on The Facts of Life during season 5

I love her and randomly always have. Boots St. Clair is such a deliciously drag name anyway.

She was in a sitcom for a few years.

She married a billionaire. I'd pick that over having to keep yourself surgified and available for HW-type scumbags.

She did that show Still Standing a few years ago with Mark Addy....it was pretty funny....and Sally Struthers as her mother in law was a hoot.....it ran on CBS for 5 years.

[quote] it ran on CBS for 5 years.
Which means she added some extra millions to those billions

She married him BEFORE he became a billionaire. Good for her. Always liked her. Her chin was a bit strong but still a pretty girl.

Also reminds me of Teri Hatcher and Alyssa Milano.

Phoebe Cates showed her tits and sucked on a carrot in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and therefore became the object of Gen-X teenage boy fantasies forever after. I don't think Jamie Gertz did anything quite so memorable. But she did look good wearing a beret.

Phoebe Cates is another actress who hardly works and married well....shes been married to Kevin Kline forever and runs her own boutique.

She was gorgeous in The Lost Boys, as was Jason Patric. His hair and eyes remind me of Henry Cavill.

The casting of Less Than Zero was so odd to me - not really how I pictured any of those people in the book. I'd say The Lost Boys is her most memorable role. Recently rewatched it and yeah, Patric was beautiful.

Phoebe Cates is from a wealthy, wealthy, old-money NYC family. Her mother got taken for millions by Madoff.
Gertz pops up now and again. She had a stint on Entourage, I remember. I saw her on This is Us, too.

She was also one of the drunk gals who chopped off the hair of Tits McGee after it got stuck in a door

Average looking and ordinary, nothing special about her. But good for her snagging the billionaire!

R41 Jamie didn’t snag a billionaire - When she married him she actually had more money than him. I believe she bought their first house. She was a successful actress and he was just getting started in finance. They came up together. Now they are billionaires and own the Atlanta Hawks.

Oh thanks for the clarification R42, I misunderstood

R42 Imagine owning a whole basketball team and having a stable of studs at you beck and call and the opportunity to make pop inspection to ensure athletic cups are being worn correctly through close inspection. Lucky woman indeed.

Here's a 20 minute piece with Jamie from 2017 (think). Her reflections of being cast on Square Pegs and more. I love here stories and how down to earth and honest she is about entering the "biz" and more.

She was in one of my favorite terrible but awesome movies Sibling Rivalry. Kristie Alley, Scott Bacula, Sam Elliot, Ed O'Neil, Bill Pullman and DL favorite Carrie Fisher.

She wasn't beautiful or photogenic. Nice looking woman, sexy, maybe she was a good actress although I haven't seen enough of her work to judge, the only think that comes to mind is "The Lost Boys" where she couldn't do much with the role she had.
Normally when I see a gal who isn't beautiful playing a beauty I wonder who she's sleeping with, but in the case of "The Lost Boys" I'm absolutely sure it wasn't the director.

I rewatched all the Square Pegs episodes during the lockdown and I'm shocked at how bad Sarah Jessica Parker is in it. She's definitely the weakest link in the show. It's funny how she went on to become the breakout star of the show.

While I know that Jami played the same character on The Facts of Life as she played on Square Pegs, it really was a great character.
Muffy/Boots is a character I'd love to see revisited now - maybe a Netflix re-Boots!

R6 as a little kid, I used to get Jami mixed up with Meredith Salenger. I think it was due to the Two Coreys connection.
So weird and sad to realise that half the cast of DREAM A LITTLE DREAM are now dead, and it only came out in 1989.

As a baby lesbian, choosing between Star the vampire and Lainey Diamond was impossible. Throw Jennifer Connelly in CAREER OPPORTUNITIES in, too. All had beautiful dark hair & eyes, soft and pretty but deep voices, amazing skin, dazzling yet kind smiles, gorgeous breasts...it was a lot.
IRL Jami won, big-time. Jennifer has done pretty well, too. Meredith however is now the second wife of an out-of-touch murderous hobbit, who is financially forcing her to raise his kids while he jerks off on his Funko Pops and tweets instead of writing jokes. She could have done so much better.
