Mandy Moore, Shane West & Rest of 'Walk to Remember' Cast 18 Years after the Movie's Premiere

Based on the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name, the coming-of-age drama film addressed the subject of unconditional love between two lovers in an almost Shakespearean way, resulting in an unforgettable movie.

Both a successful pop singer and a celebrated Hollywood actress, “A Walk to Remember” female lead Mandy Moore is having a great moment, starring in the hit series “This is Us” and about to release her new album “Silver Landings.”

In 2019, Moore’s co-star Shane West showed how close he still is to the actress by accompanying her to receive her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. On that occasion, he attributed the success of the film to the immediate liking the two took to each other.
