Jennifer is the youngest daughter of legendary filmmaker Stanley Kramer and actress/producer Karen Sharpe. 

As child, Jennifer was cast in roles on film and television. She played Patty Duke’s daughter at the age of eight in a television movie and performed in telethons with her sister Kat.  However, Jennifer also had a passion for horses and competed on show circuits in the hunter/jumper divisions throughout much of her teen years. She subsequently turned down the role of young Jaclyn Kennedy in a movie mini-series to pursue an olympic dream when she was chosen to be taken under the wing of the United States equestrian team coach at the age of 15.  Jennifer’s olympic dream was sadly unrealized so she returned to acting and found her real identity portraying challenging roles on the stage after attending the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University acting program and the New Actor's Workshop in New York founded by director Mike Nichols, Second City founder Paul Sills and acting teacher George Morrison. Jennifer appeared in countless stage plays, classics and originals such as BIRDBATH, ANNA CHRISTIE, THE SICILIAN BACHELOR and THE SISTER ROSENSWEIG to name just a few.

Jennifer is also a classically trained pianist who has performed in concert halls in Los Angeles and is a self -taught composer. Jennifer has been a finalist in concerto competitions and regularly makes piano recordings and performs when she has the opportunity. As a child, Jennifer composed music for plays and also dedicated numerous orchestral/piano originals  to celebrities Jane Fonda, Deborah Kerr, Henry Jaglom and Michele Lee as well as many others and wrote an entire film score at the age of 14 for her first screenwriting endeavor called THE MASTERS about a young equestrian who is injured in an accident.

Jennifer has now confidently stepped behind the camera writing and directing her own films. Her debut short “ NAKUSA " of which she wrote, starred and co-directed traveled the United States and Europe to significant critical acclaim winning numerous "Best" awards internationally. She currently has a large- scale feature musical called LIVING PIECES in development and has attached an Oscar winning team and cast. The feature is a culmination of Jennifer’s many artistic skills as an actor and musician and now as a  writer/director. She will direct, co-produce and co-write a seven-episode documentary series called #THERAPYTOO about abuse in psychotherapy which is also in development.  In the beginning of 2026,  Jennifer will be in full production on another short film called THE SCREAMING DREAM about an Iraqi war veteran serving in the police department and the producer/director of a music video for a famous rock band.
