Jami Gertz Biography

Jami Gertz won a nationwide talent search sponsored by producer Norman Lear and was cast at age 16 in the breakout role of preppy Muffy Tepperman. Although she had made her feature film debut in the notorious bomb Endless Love (1981) and had supporting roles in Sixteen Candles and Alphabet City (both 1984) the actress landed her first starring role opposite Kevin Bacon in Quicksilver (1986). She went on to do fine work in films that didn't click with either critics or the public. Gertz was impressive as a vacuous rich party girl in the drug-soaked world of Less Than Zero (1987) as Kirk Cameron's fellow college debate team member in Listen to Me (1989) and as Kirstie Alley's critical sister in Sibling Rivalry (1990). She had a rare lead in the feature comedy Jersey Girl (1992) but it barely received distribution. Although she had taken time off for motherhood the actress resumed her big screen career with a fine comic turn as Bill Paxton's spoiled fiancee in the actioner Twister (1996). She was also seen as an unstable drug addict in the independent feature Lip Service/Kat & Allison (2001).
