Ebertfest, the annual Roger Ebert Film Festival at the Virginia Theater in Champaign, IL, was this past weekend. One of the visiting actresses was Shaliene Woodley. Woodley's star is rising quickly after co-starring with George Clooney in the Descendents and starring on the television series The Secret Life of an American Teenager. Look for her next summer as the co-star in the Amazing Spiderman 2, plus a starring role in Divergent, currently filming in Chicago. She signed a couple of 8x10s and posed before heading into the theater for the screening of The Spectacular Now, a film released earlier this year.


As a bonus, I got a photo with Woodley's co-star in Divergent, Zoe Kravitz, as she made the trip with her pal to experience Ebertfest. Kravitz is the daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz and former Cosby star Lisa Bonet. She'll co-star with Will Smith in After Earth, set for release later this summer.


On the return trip, I stopped by Timbuktu in Decatur, IL, and got this photo and an autographed poster from country artist Chris Cavanaugh.
