If you ask Hendrix, Meredith Blake isn't a villain — not to her at least, anyway.
"One of the keys to playing villains is that the characters, you never think of yourself as a villain, like, ever. So Meredith Blake, no. Like to me, everyone else is catching up to everything I had already thought about her and that narrative Meredith thought about herself," Hendrix told Us Weekly. "So of course, she wasn't the villain. Of course, she was the victim to these two little monster twins and their parents."
Hendrix has a lot of fun invoking Meredith Blake on Twitter (via BuzzFeed). For example, when one user wrote, "help I am now 26, the same age as Meredith Blake in the Parent Trap, so if u need me I'm quitting my career and moving to Napa to seduce some hot millionaire dads!!!!!," Hendrix quote tweeted her and wrote, "I don't recommend it."
It's hard to blame Hendrix for so often revisiting Blake, particularly since it sounds like the movie was as fun to make as it is to watch. While filming, Hendrix grew close with Lisa Ann Walter (who plays Chessy) and the two currently remain that way. "Lisa and I would just create characters and improv and girl talk. And then we would spend time together on the weekends on our off days. We became fast friends," Hendrix said.
A memorable role and a new best friend? What more could an actor ask for?
