Shailene Woodley Didn't Recognize '80s Icon Molly Ringwald on Set

The actress was unaware of Ringwald's fame when they starred together on 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager.'

Shailene Woodley admitted she didn't know who Molly Ringwald was when they first worked together on the ABC Family series.
Woodley, who was 15 at the time, had not seen any of Ringwald's iconic '80s films like 'The Breakfast Club' or 'Sixteen Candles.'
Despite her initial ignorance, Woodley developed a close bond with Ringwald, who became a protective and supportive figure for her.
The experience taught Woodley valuable lessons about authenticity and storytelling at a young age.
'The Secret Life of the American Teenager' marked Woodley's first starring role on a TV show, while Ringwald continued to embrace roles as a mother figure in teen dramas.
