ABC’s ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager’ star Shailene Woodley may have just caught her big break with a starring role in George Clooney’s next film. The film, entitled THE DESCENDANTS, will be directed by Alexander Payne (SIDEWAYS) and is about a lawyer that gets close to his family after a tragedy.
