In the meantime, Woodley is celebrating the major success of another project of hers: winning her first-ever Emmy for her role in season two of Paradise, as she picked up the trophy for Guest Actress in a Drama Series on Sept. 6.
“When I was growing up as an actor, my mom created this idea of a ladder, where she was like, ‘You got your first callback—that’s one ring on the ladder. Oh, you booked your first commercial? That’s another ring on the ladder,'” she told E!. “And this just feels like another ring on the ladder. I get to go home and have a conversation with my mama, where I’m like, ‘I got the Emmy. We can put that on the ladder now.'”
Her mom Lori Woodley continues to play a big role in her life, as she noted, “I wouldn’t be here without her in every way. I’m just stoked. I just feel so lucky. I love what I do, and I never take it for granted.”
Of course, her mom is beyond proud of the Divergent actress for continuing to score all kinds of goals.
“She currently has all of the trophies from when I was a soccer player as a child, like, Teen Choice Awards,” Woodley said, adding of her Emmy, “but I think I might keep this one.”
