Jennifer Ventimilia (previously Jeffrey Ventimilia[1] and also known as J.R. Ventimilia) is an American screenwriter. Ventimilia co-wrote The Simpsons episode "Simpson Tide" (with Joshua Sternin)[2] and the teleplay of the episode "'Round Springfield", based on a story idea by Al Jean and Mike Reiss.[3] Other credits include Murphy Brown, That '70s Show, and The Critic. In 2002, Ventimilia and Sternin created a show for Fox called The Grubbs, starring Randy Quaid. Due to negative critical reaction, the show was canceled before it went on air.[4] Ventimilia co-wrote the screenplay for the 2004 film Surviving Christmas and the 2010 film Tooth Fairy[5][6] and she also served as an executive producer and writer for Kitchen Confidential, Robot and Monster, and the 2012 Nickelodeon reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
