The writer and director make the film. Most producers supply the money, and are interchangable with any other producer. Kennedy didn’t start as the money person, because she started as Spielberg’s secretary. She met producer Frank Marshall during Raiders, and the relationship that led to them marrying in 1987 is what kept her linked to Spielberg. I have seen no evidence of her being anything other than the behind the scenes business person on the good films in this list, but plenty of evidence that without great directors she produces unimpressive films.
