by

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood history and a soft spot for heartwarming reunions, I must say that the reunion of Shailene Woodley and Molly Ringwald at the Gotham Awards was nothing short of delightful. The duo’s shared history on ABC Family’s The Secret Life of the American Teenager has left an indelible mark on both their careers and personal lives, and it was truly heartening to see them reunite after such a long time.

Shailene Woodley and Molly Ringwald met up once again at the Gotham Awards in New York City on December 2, marking their first encounter since they starred together in the hit ABC Family show “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Woodley and Ringwald both commemorated their reunion by sharing pictures with each other on social media of the moments they spent at Cipriani Wall Street. The Brat Pack’s icon, Ringwald, played Woodley’s on-screen mother Anne Juergens from 2008 to 2013 in The Secret Life of the American Teenager series.

Actress from The Fault in Our Stars, aged 33, posted a reunion picture on her social media platforms. She expressed affection for Ringwald, referring to her as an influential figure from her youth whom she grew up alongside during the course of the series.

Woodley captioned the photo, “The queen who grew up me up, @mollyringwald.”

Simultaneously, the actress from The Breakfast Club, who’s now 56, also shared a post on her Instagram story expressing her feelings about this reunion. She penned, “It made my night.

During the run of the show from 2008 to 2013, Woodley found herself admiring Ringwald more and more as a role model. She was unaware of Ringwald’s iconic position in Hollywood, having no knowledge of her leading roles in ’80s cinema gems such as The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles.

Shailene Woodley confessed to Vanity Fair that she wasn’t familiar with Molly Ringwald when they started working together at age 15 because she didn’t have a television growing up. Everyone of her parents’ friends would remark about it, but she was puzzled by the excitement until someone explained that Ringwald was a famous actress from movies like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles. Interestingly, this lack of prior knowledge worked in Woodley’s favor as Ringwald turned out to be more of a helpful guide than a celebrity figure during their collaboration.
