Wikipedia Biography / Profile Background
Introduction :
Laurie Feltheimer is an American business owner and fashion designer. Married to film production tycoon Jon Feltheimer, she has made a name for herself as the owner and creator of the clothing brand, Laurie Felt — Los Angeles.
Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :
- Laurie Feltheimer (maiden name Laurie Demarest) was born on May 10, 1965, in California. Born to parents, Fred and Barbara, she has a brother named Steven. Growing up in Palos Verdes, Laurie was immersed in a “beachy denim culture.” Her love for denim began in her youth, favoring brands like Chemin de Fer and Dittos jeans.
- At one point in her life, Laurie was a struggling single mother for many years. Her first daughter’s name was Jillian, and was born in the early 1990s.
- On April 9, 1999, Laurie married Jon Feltheimer, the current CEO of Lions Gate Entertainment. The Lionsgate studio has produced movies such as Saw, and the Emmy-winning TV series Mad Men.
- Jon and Laurie first met when Laurie was out for dinner with a friend, who had brought Jon (her boss at the time) along for the occasion.
- Now, the couple have four children together: daughter, Maya Feltheimer; sons Jack and Chase; and Jillian, whom Jon considers his own.
Early Life and Education :
- Although private about her childhood, Laurie revealed in a candid blog post that she went through a very difficult time at home during her teenage years.
- Seeping into her school experience at Palos Verdes High School, it was a gesture from a new friendship with a girl named Caroline (who is now married to Suzanne Somers’ son) that helped her through – Caroline had handwritten Laurie a two-page letter telling her how happy she was to have her as a friend.
- Staying close to home, Laurie attended the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). A member of the Delta Gamma sorority, she graduated in the late 1980s with a degree in Political Science and business administration.
Career, Job, Salary and Net Worth :
- After graduation, Laurie was supporting herself and her daughter Jillian by working in the financial industry as a variable annuities wholesaler.
- After years of getting a firsthand look at Hollywood fashion, in 2002, Laurie launched her own line of affordable clothes (mainly focusing on jeans) called “Hot in Hollywood.” Her “aha” moment had come after 15 years of observing designers, realizing she could stand on her own as a designer.
- In 2016, she changed the name to Laurie Felt — Los Angeles. The rebrand was partially a result of wanting to stand on her own feet and partially a result of getting to know the women who were wearing her clothes over the celebrities she had fashioned them on.
- Originally sold on the Home Shopping Network (HSN), Laurie Felt — Los Angeles is now sold exclusively on the QVC shopping network. In addition to retail, Laurie Felt — Los Angeles also runs a customer community initiative called Heartfelt that features female customers and aims to spread kindness and inspiration to other women.

Fun Facts, Height and Trivia :
- Honoring their Jewish heritage, Laurie and Jon are members of Kehillat Israel, a reconstructionist congregation based in the Pacific Palisades, California.
- Laurie’s partner Jon is 14 years older than her. He found success in the field of arts before entering the film industry. He was the guitarist and singer in a band called Lightheart in his early years. In addition to the guitar, he also plays piano, clarinet, saxophone, and bassoon. Now, a seasoned business executive, Jon earns a multi-million dollar salary. In an interview, Laurie mentioned that Jon is an incredible business leader, a loving father, and a wonderful husband.
- At one time, Felt’s favorite shows included Glee and Mad Men.
- Referring to her late grandmother, Tressie, as her “Favorite person in the whole world,” Laurie lives by her grandma’s words, “pretty is as pretty does.”
- Laurie is not on Twitter (now called X), but she is on Instagram. Some of her favorite people to follow on social media are Lori Loughlin, Old Bitches of Instagram, and Lisa Rinna!
- When asked about advice, Laurie wishes someone had encouraged her to invest in herself earlier. To fund her project, she started with a $10,000 investment, avoiding borrowing money and being cautious about external influences on her vision.
- Tips for Aspiring Designers: Laurie advises aspiring designers not to limit themselves mentally and emphasizes the importance of perseverance and confidence. She stresses that there is no substitute for hard work, and pushing oneself daily is crucial for success in the fashion industry.

Hi Laurie,
I have watched from Hot in Hollywood thru Laurie Felt. Your Aunt Margaret Ann is a friend of over 60 years. I went to school with both Fred and Barbara. Your Grandmother Patrick was the sweetest lady. She opened her home to Margaret Ann’s friends for incredible slumber parties back in the 50’s. Your aunt is very proud of you. You look so much like your dad. Just wanted to say hi. Sharon Kerns Green
