8	Shailene Diann Woodley (born November 15, 1991 in San Bernardino, California) is an American actress.
9
10	She began her career at the age of ten, acting in various commercials and small parts on television (including the part of Kaitlin Cooper on ''Series/TheOC'', which was recast with Creator/WillaHolland when the character became a regular). Her first major role came as Amy Juergens on ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'', noted as a standout among critics despite the show's tepid reception. She made her feature film debut playing the daughter of Creator/GeorgeClooney in ''Film/TheDescendants''.
11
12	Woodley rose to stardom in TheNewTens starring in films based on YoungAdultLiterature, namely ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'', ''{{Literature/Divergent}}'' and ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars'', which earned her both attention and acclaim. As she entered her mid-twenties, she sought to distance herself from such roles and pursue new experiences as an actor; her later roles included 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''.
13
14	Outside of acting, Woodley is an avid environmental activist, having co-founded the All It Takes organization, a non-profit 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.

16	In February 2021, the news broke that Woodley had been in a relationship with [[UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeagueQuarterbacks Green Bay Packers quarterback]] Aaron Rodgers for several months, followed shortly by the news that the pair were engaged. However, the marriage never took place as they ultimately ended their relationship in early 2022.

50	!!Actor tropes contains examples of:
51	* ActorInspiredElement:[[invoked]] She wouldn't wear make-up for ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'', feeling it didn't fit Aimee's character.
52	* {{Bifauxnen}}: After chopping her hair off for the role in ''The Fault In Our Stars'', her new look earned her some comparison to a young pretty boy.
53	* BillingDisplacement: She plays Anna the therapist appears in two scenes in ''Film/TheFallout'', but is billed third.
54	* CastIncest: She and Creator/AnselElgort played siblings in ''Divergent'', then lovers in ''The Fault in Our Stars'' just a few months later. Both joked about this while accepting their MTV Movie Award for Best Onscreen Kiss in 2015.
55	* CreatorBacklash:[[invoked]]
56	** Has some toward ''Series/TheSecretLifeOfTheAmericanTeenager'', claiming she didn't agree with a lot of the messages the show was preaching.
57	** She has voiced some displeasure regarding Creator/NeilBurger's replacement by Creator/RobertSchwentke in the director role after the first installment of ''Literature/{{Divergent}}'', as she's signed up due to Burger's visions and the series ended up changing its direction as a result of his departure.
58	* 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.
59	** Also the case for her in ''Felicity: An American Girl Adventure'', as she played the nine-year-old Felicity while being in her early teens at the time of the film's release.
60	* DeletedRole:[[invoked]] She filmed scenes playing ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson for ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderMan2'', but they were cut.
61	* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]]
62	** Dyed her brown hair red to play the title character in ''Felicity: An American Girl Adventure'' and blonde for her role as Tris in ''{{Literature/Divergent}}''.
63	** She cut her waist-length hair short for ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars''. She went even further to pixie cut for ''Insurgent''.
64	** Dyed her hair black and gained weight to play a single mother in ''Series/BigLittleLies''.
65	** Went blonde again for ''Adrift'' and lost considerable weight to play someone lost at sea and starving, subsisting on only six-hundred calories a day.
66	* HollywoodHypeMachine: Present ever since ''Film/TheDescendants'', but the hype really got behind her as ''Divergent'' proved to be a SleeperHit. Starring in another smash hit like ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars'', as well as critically acclaimed projects like ''Film/{{Snowden}}'' and ''Literature/BigLittleLies'', seems to be a step in the right direction.
67	* LadyLooksLikeADude: Her short hair for roles on ''The Fault In Our Stars'' and the ''Divergent'' series has led to some androgynous boyish comparisons.
68	* MemeticMutation:[[invoked]] She stars alongside Miles Teller and Ansel Elgort in ''Divergent'', and plays their love interests in ''The Spectacular Now'' and ''The Fault In Our Stars'' respectively, leading to a lot of memes about Tris two-timing Four.
69	* MsFanservice: Despite her IAmNotPretty attitude, she's not shy about appearing naked in her films when they call for it.
70	* TheOtherDarrin:[[invoked]] She was replaced with Willa Holland for ''Series/TheOC'' from Season 3 onwards.
71	* RealitySubtext:[[invoked]] Aimee Finicky's IAmNotPretty attitude parallels Shailene's own issues with beauty and body image.
72	* StarMakingRole:[[invoked]] The one-two punches of ''Divergent'' and ''Literature/TheFaultInOurStars'' brought her to worldwide fame.
73	* TheirFirstTime: She's filmed this kind of scene four times. Apparently the one in ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'' is the favorite scene she's ever filmed.
74	* ThoseTwoActors:[[invoked]] She's starred with her ''Divergent'' co-stars in other projects - Ansel Elgort in ''The Fault In Our Stars'', Creator/MilesTeller in ''The Spectacular Now'' and Zoe Kravitz in ''Literature/BigLittleLies''.
75	* UnkemptBeauty: Has a predisposition toward roles that show her with light make-up, if any. This includes ''The Spectacular Now'', ''The Fault In Our Stars'', and ''Adrift''.
76	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:[[invoked]]
77	** She's very selective about the roles she accepts. Among the films she's turned down include ''{{Film/Tomorrowland}}'', ''{{Film/Carrie\|2013}}'', and ''Film/FiftyShadesOfGrey''.
78	** She was willing to appear in the ''Ascendant'' film when it was going to be theatrically released. As soon as it was announced as a MadeForTVMovie, she backed out. (The film has since died in DevelopmentHell.)
79	** She claims she filmed more scenes at the prom in ''Film/TheSpectacularNow'' — notably Aimee getting drunk and jealous that Cassidy was dancing with Sutter, throwing up on her.
80	** She auditioned for ''Film/IAmSam'', which ultimately proved a StarMakingRole for Creator/DakotaFanning.
81	** She was meant to be reunited with Creator/MilesTeller a fourth time for ''Adrift'', but he had to drop out and was replaced by Creator/SamClaflin.
