Inspired by 'Dear John,' Mandy Moore Reflects on 'A Walk to Remember'

With the release of Dear John in theaters this past weekend, author and screenwriter Nicholas Sparks has once again earned a notable place in the spotlight. Known for such classics as Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, and The Notebook, the legendary writer's latest blockbuster-to-be stars Mamma Mia's Amanda Seyfried and A-list hunk, Channing Tatum.

With yet another Sparks novel, The Last Song set to premiere in theaters next month with singer/actress Miley Cyrus, the buzz surrounding the 44 year old writer is certainly bound to continue. For someone like Mandy Moore who fought to appear in the author's beloved classic, A Walk to Remember, the recent upsurge in popularity is ultimately well-deserved. 

"I had such a visceral reaction to it that I remember not being able to read because I was hyperventilating while I was crying," said Mandy of A Walk to Remember. "It was my first movie, and I know people say...it's a tearjerker, but for me, it's the thing I'm most proud of."

The story of a young girl's journey in love while battling terminal cancer, the 2002 film was a winter favorite among moviegoers, grossing $47 million, and netting Mandy three Teen Choice Awards.
