• 1. When I’m not acting, I help with a kitten rescue. In the last year I rescued, fostered, and found homes for more than 40 kittens and cats.
• 2. When I was 5 years old and first signed with my agents in LA (Osbrink), I tricked them into thinking I was from Great Britain – accent and all – at our first meeting! AND They believed me!
• 3. I love to dress up and do makeup and can be super girly, but I also love to ride my one-wheel, climb trees, fish, and wake surf. I live on 10 acres in the country.
• 4. My grandfather played in the NFL, my dad played Division 1 college basketball and my aunt high jumped at the University of Kentucky! I recently developed a love for sports and play basketball, softball and volleyball.
• 5. For my last project (A Friend Of The Family) I had to teach myself to play piano over a weekend; Not only that but I had to learn a song by Bach and learn to play it while looking away from the piano, pretending to be distracted.
• 6. I love to bake! My Christmas gifts were almost solely baking supplies! I bake just for fun, but also for holiday gatherings and for fundraisers! I baked lots of cakes to donate for my brother’s school concession stand to sell.
• 7. Broccoli is my favorite food.
• 8. If my name wasn’t “Hendrix” it would have been either Sailor or Navy.
• 9. I fangirl over Taylor Swift and Sadie Sink. I love them so much.
• 10. I collect rocks. I have them from EVERYWHERE I’ve ever been. I have a pretty legit crystal and raw gemstone collection.
