Actress Elaine Hendrix, known for her role as Meredith Blake in the 1998 remake of Disney's The Parent Trap, has come a long way from her silver screen schemer days.
Hendrix played the gold-digging, manipulative fiancée of Dennis Quaid's character, Nick Parker, earning her character a comparison to "Cruella De Vil" by Parker's twin daughters, Annie and Hallie, played by Lindsay Lohan.
However, unlike her movie character, Hendrix is an animal advocate and has adopted a plant-based lifestyle, which she credits with fueling her body, mind, and career, including her appearance on Dancing With the Stars.
Her movie character may have earned comparison to the antagonist in the animated classic 101 Dalmatians, but the actress is a far cry from the cruel cartoon character.
