It's April 20th. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, AI-powered stories from the spotlight. Jamie Gertz and her husband Tony Restler showed up big time at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Gala on April 16th, celebrating the new David. Geffen Galleries. The power couple, who owned the Atlanta Hawks, just dropped $50 million to help build it out. That massive gift means the South Wing now carries their name, the Restler Family Wing. Tony's been on the museum's board for over 20 years, so this is deep roots for them in the art scene. Gertz kicked off her career as a kid actor, popping up on shows like different strokes and the facts of life, then starring in square pegs with Sarah, Jessica Parker. She blew up in the 80s with hits like 16 candles, the lost boys, and less than zero. After marrying Restler in 1989 and having three sons, she dialed back on Hollywood to focus on family, though she made a comeback in. Twister and later gigs on Allie McBeele, still standing, and shows like Modern Family, they even jumped into sports ownership with the Hawks back in 2015.

Now at 60, Gertz is blending her acting legacy with major philanthropy, proving she's still making ways far beyond the screen.
