Jamie Gertz, the 1980s actress turned billionaire NBA owner, has made a rare public appearance.
The 60-year-old and her husband Tony Ressler attended a gala commemorating the new David Geffen Gallery at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last Thursday.
Gertz wore a white dress for the occasion under a cream-colored Libertine coat embellished with sparkling floral prints.
She completed her look with black socks, silver heels, and a studded kite bag.
Her husband was wearing a tuxedo.
According to the New York Times, the couple donated $50 million to the facility, and the south wing of the new gallery has been named the Ressler Family Wing.
Ressler, 66, has served as co-chair of the LACMA Board of Directors since 2015.
That same year, the financier couple spent an estimated $720 million to buy the Atlanta Hawks, which Gertz told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2018 was “a lot of fun.”
She recalled “erupting and screaming” about the purchase, and declared that when she relocated to Georgia, “taking a break from acting seemed like a natural moment for me.”
The “Twister” star confessed, “It’s hard for me to say it out loud because I love what I do. It’s given me so many beautiful things in life and taught me so much about myself and the world around me.”
Additionally, Gertz said, “As you get older, you slow down and it becomes a little harder to find work.”
She went on to reveal to the media that when she met her partner in 1986, she “made more money, more money.”
“Everyone thinks I married a rich man,” Gertz said. “I paid for our first house. I paid for our first vacation. I fell in love with him so I married him.”
The child actor married Ressler in June 1989.
The two had three children together: sons Oliver, Nick, and Theo.
