The movie, an adaptation of the acclaimed Nicholas Sparks book, followed Jamie Sullivan (Mandy), a local pastor's daughter, who grows close to Landon Carter (played by Shane) when he is forced to perform community service.

But their love story becomes a tragedy when Landon discovers Jamie has been hiding a secret - she has incurable cancer.

"Sweet Shane had to teach me how to hit my mark, about looking down to look at it before I completely stopped," she revealed.

"I would say I really learned to sort of trust my instincts, trust being present [and] trust my listening skills because that's really what acting is. I feel like I've taken so much of what I learned on that film and hopefully, have grown and evolved as an actor."

A Walk To Remember is available on HBO Max.
