Elaine Hendrix Biography

Elaine Hendrix is an actress, producer, activist, and entertainer whose career spans more than three decades across film, television, and stage. Hendrix gained recognition for her roles in television films during the 1990s before her breakthrough as Meredith Blake in the romantic comedy film "The Parent Trap." Before acting, Hendrix won a model search in her senior year of high school and became a professional dancer, working with companies such as Nike, Levi's, and Mattel, and performing for hip-hop artists including Whodini, Keith Sweat, and MC Hammer. After moving to Los Angeles, an accident ended her early career as a model and dancer, prompting her to focus fully on acting.

Hendrix built a diverse body of work, starring in films such as "Romy and Michele's High School Reunion," "The Parent Trap," and "Superstar." She is recognized for her performances in films and TV shows including "Dynasty," "Inspector Gadget 2," and "What the Bleep Do We Know!?" Hendrix co-starred as Ava in the FX comedy series "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll." She portrayed Alexis Carrington Colby in The CW's "Dynasty" reboot series, remaining a series regular through its conclusion. Her stage credits include "Hello, Dolly!", "A Streetcar Named Desire," and "Steel Magnolias."

As a filmmaker and producer, Hendrix has contributed to producing, directing, and writing projects such as the short film "The Cloggers." She received Best Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival Virtual category for "Spork." Her accolades include Best Ensemble Cast at Method Fest, Best Actress at the Albuquerque Duke City Shootout, and Best Actress at both the Thrills and Chills Film Awards and the Istanbul Movie Awards for "Attest." Hendrix also received a Telly Award as the host of "Pets 90210" and the Secret City Film Festival Founder's Award.

Hendrix has participated in high-profile projects, including a cameo in the fantasy comedy film "Freakier Friday" and producing the off-Broadway production "Ginger Twinsies," a "Parent Trap" parody. Beyond entertainment, Hendrix is an activist, educator, and author, known for advocacy in animal rights, LGBTQ+ equality, women's rights, and environmental justice. She was featured as a clue on "Jeopardy!"

Off-screen, Hendrix is active as a humanitarian and animal rights advocate. She adopted a vegan lifestyle and works with organizations throughout North America and internationally to educate, demonstrate, speak, protest, build habitats, transport, and rescue animals. Hendrix founded The Pet Matchmaker, an organization dedicated to promoting the rescue, foster, and adoption of homeless pets. She received the Celebrity Activist Award at the Last Chance for Animals Compassion Gala for her work as an animal rescuer and activist. As Director of Marketing and Public Relations for Animal Rescue Corps and spokesperson for In Defense of Animals, Hendrix participates in animal rights protests and uses her platform to raise awareness. Her career reflects a commitment to both the entertainment industry and real-world advocacy.
