She began her career at the age of ten, acting in various commercials and small parts on television. She even played Kaitlin Cooper on ''Series/TheOC'' - but the role got recast with Creator/WillaHolland when the character became a regular. Her first major role came as Amy Juergens on ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager''. Despite the show's tepid reception among critics, Shailene's performance was noted to be a standout. Sure enough, she made her feature film debut in an impressive way - playing the daughter of Creator/GeorgeClooney in ''Film/TheDescendants''.

She rose to stardom in TheNewTens starring in films based on YoungAdultLiterature. ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'', ''{{Literature/Divergent}}'' and ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars'' earned her both attention and acclaim. As she entered her mid-twenties, she sought to distance herself from teen films and YA roles. Playing Lindsay Mills, the real life girlfriend of Edward Snowden in Oliver Stone's ''Film/{{Snowden}}'', and a young single mother in Creator/{{HBO}}'s ''Literature/BigLittleLies'' appears to be helping her do just that.

Outside of acting, she's an avid environmental activist, and co-founder of the All It Takes organization — a non-profit organisation dedicated to teaching young people about conserving the environment. She also prefers to live out of a travel bag — after giving the house she owned to her grandmother — only drinks water she collects herself from springs, eats a tablespoon of clay a day to "remove metals from the body", and [[http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/gossip/la-et-mg-shailene-woodley-arrested-dapl-20161010-snap-htmlstory.html openly protests]] in support of environmental issues. She also supports LGBT+ causes, and says she's attracted to people based on personality rather than gender, but does not use any label for herself.

* PlayingGertrude:[[invoked]] Plays the daughter of Creator/EvaGreen in ''White Bird In A Blizzard'', when there's only an eleven year difference between them.

* DawsonCasting:[[invoked]] For ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'', part of ''White Bird in a Blizzard'', ''Divergent'', and ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars'', she was in her early twenties playing teenagers.

She did state that Hazel Grace would be the last teen role she played, and she has indeed pursued age appropriate characters since.
