From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jami Gertz (born October 28, 1965 in Chicago, Illinois) is an American actress. From 2002 until 2006, she starred in the CBS sitcom Still Standing.
She is also best known for her early roles in the movies The Lost Boys, Less Than Zero and the short-lived 1980s TV series Square Pegs with Sarah Jessica Parker. Gertz also had supporting roles in the 1996 blockbuster Twister, the 1984 teen film Sixteen Candles, the 1986 film Crossroads and a 1994 episode of Seinfeld (as a girlfriend of Jerry's who is also both Kramer's phone-sex partner and Elaine's toilet-paper-hogging nemesis).
Gertz made her film debut (along with Tom Cruise) in the 1981 romance film Endless Love. In 2002, Gertz played the late comedic legend Gilda Radner in the television movie Gilda Radner: It's Always Something.
Gertz played the recurring character Dr. Nina Pomerantz during the 1997 season of ER.
She played the lead role in the 2005 TV film Fighting the Odds: The Marilyn Gambrell Story.
She recently starred in the CBS comedy sitcom Still Standing with Mark Addy. The show is in syndication. Jami Gertz's character's name, "Judy Miller," was also the name of the little girl character created by Gilda Radner on "Saturday Night Live" (1975). This tie may be a tribute to Radner, since Gertz played her in the TV movie "Gilda Radner: It's Always Something." [1]
Gertz, who is of Jewish and Italian extraction, now lives in Los Angeles with her husband Antony Ressler (6/16/89) and their three sons: Oliver, Nicholas, and Theo.
