Whatever Happened to ‘Twister’ Actress Jami Gertz? The Reason She Left Hollywood

Actress Jami Gertz made a rare appearance this weekend as she and husband Antony Ressler attended the opening gala for the David Geffen Galleries at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on April 16. The Twister star and her husband were there to help christen the new south wing of the newly opened $724-million flagship building, which will be named the Ressler Family Wing after the couple provided a $50 million donation to the museum (per The New York Times).

In the ’80s, Jami Gertz was one of Hollywood’s reigning “It” girls before she seemingly vanished. At what appeared to be the height of her popularity and success, Gertz chose to step back from the spotlight, trading the nonstop churn of fame for a more private life and a different kind of fulfillment away from the cameras.
