Katherine Elaine Hendrix (born December 28, 1970) is an American actress, model, producer, singer, dancer, and activist. She is best known for her roles in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Inspector Gadget 2, and the 2004 documentary What the Bleep Do We Know!? Hendrix was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, the daughter of Mary Elaine DePersio (1948–2017), of Italian, Irish and Danish descent, and Thomas Hendrix, Jr., a relative of John Hendrix (1865-1915). Her father was away from home serving in Vietnam at the time of her birth. A week after being born, with her mother considering the name Jennifer, Hendrix was instead named Katherine Elaine Hendrix. Most of her relatives called her by her middle name, and the practice stuck, but it forced Hendrix many times to explain the middle name. She has a brother, David Maher, and a sister, Stephanie Smith; both are married and have children. Hendrix was raised in Morristown, Tennessee. When Hendrix was 15, she and her mother moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where she attended the Northside School of Performing Arts. Hendrix currently resides in Los Angeles. She is regularly involved with humanitarian efforts.
