15 Amazing Movies That Kathleen Kennedy Produced (That Aren’t Star Wars)

For over 40 years, producer Kathleen Kennedy has been at the forefront of some of Hollywood’s most successful movies. As a long-time collaborator with director Steven Spielberg, Kennedy has been an essential addition to his work and has played a central role as producer of everything from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial right up to more recent releases like Lincoln. With an incredible talent for producing absolute megahits at the box office, Kennedy has earned her status as a Hollywood legend.

While many will associate Kennedy with her involvement in some of the best movies ever, as she executive produced series like Back to the Future and even the Best Picture-winner Schindler’s List, she’s also been a main producer on countless other acclaimed classics. With perhaps the most impressive resume in all of Hollywood, Kathleen’s role as President of LucasFilm saw her oversee all Star Wars-related releases since 2012, but this’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her appeal.

After first meeting director Steven Spielberg while working on his 1979 comedy 1941, Kathleen Kennedy quickly became the filmmaker’s secretary and by 1981 had taken on a significant role in his professional life. Along with Spielberg, Kennedy co-founded the production company Amblin Entertainment, and Kennedy’s first film as a producer was E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. As the quintessential example of Spielberg’s unique emotional and notalgia-inducing style, this fruitful partnership would continue for decades to come as she produced some of the filmmaker’s greatest releases.

While Kathleen Kennedy was best known for her work with Steven Spielberg, she also produced several acclaimed releases by other filmmakers, such as the Richard Benjamin comedy The Money Pit. With Tom Hanks and Shelley Long, this hilarious loose remake of the Cary Grant comedy Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House featured plenty of slapstick humor. Although The Money Pit was slated by critics and has failed to build a lasting legacy, looking back, it’s an early indication of Hanks’ incredible comedic talent and bright future as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.

Hook featured an older Peter Pan who, after forgetting his childhood adventures, returned to Neverland once again. While Spielberg himself has expressed disappointment with Hook, it’s remained a beloved favorite among audiences, primarily due to Robin Williams’ incredible characterization of Captain Hook.

The true magic of Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy’s creative partnership was encapsulated by the astounding achievement of Jurassic Park.

As the most successful movie of 1993, Jurassic Park led to the development of an entire franchise, and Kennedy returned as an executive producer for The Lost World: Jurassic Park and acted as a full producer for Jurassic Park III.

Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence had a complex production history and was originally intended to be directed by Stanley Kubrick as “a picaresque robot version of Pinocchio” (via Panteli.) While Kubrick was unable to finish the project before his death in 1999, Spielberg took over along with Kathleen Kennedy and Bonnie Curtis as producers. The result was a sentimental and insightful sci-fi story about a childlike android in need of a mother’s love that stood as one of Spielberg’s most emotionally resonating films and a uniquely poignant entry in his vast filmography.

Co-produced by The Kennedy/Marshall Company, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly was a breathtaking film that allowed viewers to experience the trauma of this debilitating illness by telling its story from the perspective of Jean-Dominique Bauby, a paralyzed man with fully functional mental faculties.

Kathleen Kennedy has been busy as the president of Lucasfilm since 2012 and has overseen everything from Star Wars sequels to their impressive slate of Disney+ television series. However, amid all these projects, Kennedy still found time to co-produce Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the final outing for Harrison Ford as the titular archeologist. While The Dial of Destiny was a fun final adventure, its bloated budget meant that even though it grossed $384 million (via Box Office Mojo), it was still considered a box office bomb.
