Rewatching 'The Facts of Life'

How did Jamie Gertz screw up so much to be a recurring character on here? Too much coke? She should've had SJP's career. She steals every scene she's in.

Also, was it public knowledge back then that Nancy was dating MJF?

She's so good on Square Pegs. Idk, OP. She could have been Demi Moore.

Yes, it was very public knowledge about Nancy and Michael. Aggressively public.

She married a billionaire and had some kids.

She works when she feels like it.

R3 She started doing those Facts appearances right after Pegs ended. She was then in that John Stamos show and movies, so she was fine

I have always loved Jami Gertz. Yeah, definitely prettier and more charismatic than Demi.

Why would you do that? Do you really hate yourself that much?

Muffy on Square Pegs and Boots on FOL were basically the same character.

She had a bit part in "Sixteen Candles" too.

Jesus OP. Get a life. Quickly! You are not that boring.

Laugh ‘til it hurts with Mertz, Kurtz and Gertz

Jamie was in a show called "Still Standing" with Mark Addy. I discovered in reruns years after it was cancelled. I enjoyed it.

Yes, r10, she was part of the hot wife, obese husband trend, which was the prologue to #METOO.

The nerd son on that show was cute.

Yep R11. It was one of those sitcom were the parents are not ashamed to admit they hate being parents. Like a less over the top but more sophisticated "Married With Children."

You would’ve thought Jami Gertz could’ve bought more replies for her own thread.

Jami Gertz always seems a little off somehow, in the same way Mercedes Ruehl does.

by Anonymousreply 15May 12, 2022 12:03 PM

Jami is one of the top celebrity donors to charities.

R14 To be fair, no one would know it's about her from the thread title

by Anonymousreply 17May 12, 2022 12:43 PM

I remember MJF and Nancy being on the game show Tattletales, which was for celeb couples.

She was really good at playing a certain kind of girl - confident, direct and very self possessed. Beyond that her range seemed fairly limited.

Nice distinctive speaking voice. If she wasn’t already loaded she could make a killing doing voice work.

Jami also couldn't spare a square on Seinfeld and had an interesting career.
