My Take
Jami Gertz fascinates me as a study in range and reinvention. She was the face of a very specific 1980s cool — Less than Zero, The Lost Boys — then aged gracefully into sitcom warmth with Still Standing and The Neighbors, which is a harder trick than it looks. But the part of her story I find genuinely remarkable is the second act as a businesswoman; few actors of her generation converted screen fame into that kind of lasting off-screen success. She strikes me as someone who understood early that a career is a portfolio, not a single role, and she has managed hers with rare intelligence.
