Centre College’s 2009 commencement ceremonies will have a little Hollywood glitter with the address being delivered by highly successful film director Jerry Bruckheimer and his wife, Linda Bruckheimer.

Jerry Bruckheimer’s producing successes have included blockbuster epics such as the Pirates of the Caribbean series and modest stories such as Glory Road. He has also produced TV ratings juggernauts such as CSI and The Amazing Race. Linda Bruckheimer was the original west coast editor of Mirabella magazine and is the author of two best-selling novels, Dreaming Southern and the Southern Belles of Honeysuckle Way. An active preservationist, her efforts have included several buildings in Bloomfield, Ky. The Bruckheimers have a farm near Bloomfield.

Centre’s commencement will take play May 24 in Danville.
