Elaine Hendrix on Vegan Living, ‘Dancing With the Stars’, and Life After ‘The Parent Trap’

Elaine Hendrix: From Actress to Animal Advocate

Actress Elaine Hendrix, known for her role as Meredith Blake in the 1998 remake of Disney's The Parent Trap, has transformed from a silver screen schemer to an animal advocate and dynamic primetime dancer.

In The Parent Trap, Hendrix's character is referred to as "Cruella De Vil" by the twin daughters, Annie and Hallie, played by Lindsay Lohan, due to her villainous nature.

While her movie character may have earned comparison to the antagonist in the animated classic 101 Dalmatians—who proudly wears coats made from the fur of dalmatian puppies—the actress who played the twins' prospective stepmother in The Parent Trap is a far cry from the cruel cartoon character.

Hendrix has also participated in Dancing With the Stars and credits plant-based living with fueling her body, mind, and career.
