Jami Gertz, 60, Turns Heads at LACMA Gala, Igniting Buzz Over Her Timeless Look — Photos

At age 60, Jami Gertz just stepped onto the red carpet looking like she stepped right out of the 1980s, but it isn't just her great genes that sparked buzz.

The "Twister" star stepped onto the red carpet at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on April 16, 2026, alongside her husband, Antony Ressler. The event marked a major cultural moment for Los Angeles, but for many, all eyes were on her.

And while the night celebrated art and a $724 million museum transformation, it was Gertz's appearance that stole the spotlight. While the photos are certainly worth a thousand words, the real story lies in the power couple standing in the center of the frame.

Many assume she simply married well, but the truth about who actually bankrolled their early years might just change how you see her forever.

A Massive Museum Makeover

The Los Angeles County Museum of Art recently celebrated a monumental milestone that was 20 years in the making. At the star-studded event, Gertz appeared alongside Ressler, who is both a major donor and a key figure tied to the museum.

The gala itself celebrated the long-awaited opening of the David Geffen Galleries, a project decades in the making and funded by a mix of public and private contributions.

Los Angeles County contributed $125 million, while major donors included David Geffen, Elaine Wynn, and Ressler and Gertz, who together gave $50 million.

But as images from the evening spread online, the conversation quickly shifted.

Fans React to a Timeless Icon

As photos from the event circulated, the internet quickly went into a frenzy over Jami's appearance. "She's absolutely beautiful. She looks like she did in the 80's," wrote one fan on social media.

Others were quick to agree that the actress seems to have found the fountain of youth. "She doesn't seem to age!" and "WOW! She is just beautiful still!" were common sentiments across social media.

Beyond her looks, many pointed out her staggering financial status. One commenter noted, "She is apparently the richest actress ever," while another added, "She looks great and seems like a [down-to-earth] person."

The consensus was clear: Jami remains a beloved figure. "They are a beautiful couple she has aged gracefully love it," said one supporter, while another simply stated, "She looks fantastic!"

Not Your Average Hollywood Story

For those familiar with Gertz's career, the attention comes as no surprise.

Born on October 28, 1965, in Chicago, Illinois, she rose to fame with roles in films like "The Lost Boys" and "Twister," later starring in the sitcom "Still Standing." But her story extends far beyond Hollywood.

Gertz's relationship with Ressler is often misunderstood, especially given his current status as a billionaire investor. As detailed in their conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, their early years were very different.

"Everyone thinks I married a rich guy," she once said. "But I made more money — way more money — than Tony when I met him. I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I married him because I fell in love with him."

The couple met in the 1980s, when Gertz was already working steadily as an actress, while Ressler was building his career in finance. Over time, that trajectory shifted dramatically.

Ressler went on to cofound major investment firms and is now worth $10.7 billion, according to Forbes, ranking among the world's wealthiest individuals.

Today, he is also the majority owner of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. Reflecting on her unconventional path, she once said, "It's not your everyday Hollywood actress tale."

Gertz didn't marry a billionaire; she married a "nice guy with a job" and watched him build an empire.

From Screen Star to NBA Owner

Today, Jami is much more than just an actress with a recent credit in 2022's "I Want You Back." She is the public face of the Hawks, the NBA team her husband purchased for $720 million.

As fans continue to revisit photos from the night, one thing stands out above all else — not just the setting, or the wealth, or even the legacy.

It's the striking consistency in how Gertz looks, decades after her rise to fame.

That quiet detail — noticed instantly, debated widely, and shared across social media — has become the unexpected centerpiece of the conversation.

And in a night meant to celebrate art and transformation, it may be the most talked-about transformation of all — or perhaps, the lack of one.
