LOS ANGELES, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Kathleen Kennedy, a veteran Hollywood producer and the former president of "Star Wars" film studio Lucasfilm, will lead production of the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2028 Olympics and Paralympics in Los Angeles, organizers said on Wednesday.
Kennedy was named head of ceremonies and content for the Games, replacing Peter Rice, who recently took a job at Netflix.
She stepped down as president of Lucasfilm in January. Founder George Lucas had chosen her to lead the studio when he sold it to Disney in 2012.
Kennedy co-founded Amblin Entertainment with Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall, whom she later married, and helped produce classic movies including "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "Jurassic Park" and "Schindler's List."
Kennedy said she and Marshall have attended nearly every Olympics since the 1984 Games in Los Angeles.
"Sport remains one of the great unifying experiences we share," she said in a statement.

洛杉矶，10 月 28 日（路透社）——组织者周三表示，资深好莱坞制片人、前“星球大战”电影制片厂卢卡斯影业总裁凯瑟琳·肯尼迪将领导 2028 年洛杉矶奥运会和残奥会开幕式和闭幕式的制作。
肯尼迪被任命为奥运会仪式和内容主管，接替了最近在 Netflix 找到工作的彼得·赖斯。
她于今年1月卸任卢卡斯影业总裁一职。创始人乔治·卢卡斯在2012年将卢卡斯影业出售给迪士尼时，曾选择她来领导这家工作室。
肯尼迪与史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格和弗兰克·马歇尔（她后来嫁给了马歇尔）共同创立了安布林娱乐公司，并帮助制作了包括《E.T.外星人》、《侏罗纪公园》和《辛德勒的名单》在内的经典电影。
肯尼迪说，自 1984 年洛杉矶奥运会以来，她和马歇尔几乎参加了每一届奥运会。
她在声明中表示：“体育仍然是我们共同拥有的伟大凝聚力之一。”
