As an avid animal rights activist, Hendrix has been advocating for animals since 2006, when she also adopted a vegan lifestyle. When she's not filming, she travels throughout North America and works with organizations around the globe to educate, demonstrate, speak, protest, build habitats, transport and rescue. In 2012 she founded The Pet Matchmaker, an organization dedicated to celebrating and inspiring the rescue, foster and adoption of homeless pets everywhere.

After recuperating from her accident, Hendrix was cast in the short-lived 1995 Get Smart series.

Films in which she appeared include Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, the remake of The Parent Trap, Superstar, Inspector Gadget 2, and What the Bleep Do We Know!?. In 2006, she also appeared in an episode of Ghost Whisperer and the movie Coffee Date. In 2008 Hendrix appeared in two episodes of the now cancelled ABC Family show The Middleman as Roxy Wasserman, a succubus who works as a fashion designer.

In 1992, she moved to Los Angeles, California and, shortly after, was hit by a car while riding her bike, ending her early career as a model and dancer.

Katherine Elaine Hendrix (born December 28, 1970) is an American actress, model, producer, singer, dancer, and activist. She is known for her roles in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap, Inspector Gadget 2, and the 2009 documentary film What the Bleep Do We Know!?

Hendrix was born in Oak Ridge, Anderson County, Tennessee, the daughter of Thomas Hendrix, Jr., a relative of John Hendrix (1865-1915), and wife Mary Elaine DePersio (1948–2017), of Italian, Irish and Danish descent. Her father was away from home and 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.
