It is my distinct pleasure to be a part of Make the Difference Network. There's rarely a day that goes by that someone doesn't ask me, "Weren't you the lady in The Parent Trap?", or "Oh my gosh, you were in What the Bleep Do We Know?! Can I give you a hug?" Needless to say, I've gotten a lot of hugs.
Well, these are just a few of the 100's of projects I've done for film, television and stage; but they are hugely popular and have afforded me some wonderful opportunities. Opportunities such as spotlighting important issues that make the world a better place like the humane treatment of animals, being a part of MTDN, and connecting with you.
Thank you for visiting my MTDN page, and thank you for making a difference in your own special and unique way. I personally love getting involved, and firmly agree "we must be the change we want to see in the world." We're all in this together. Peace and blessings, Elaine www.elainehendrix.com Celebrity Spokesperson for IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS (www.idausa.org) Movies Star Wars, Pee Wee Hermans Big Adventures, Napoleon Dynamite, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Music I pretty much love all music. Some of my favorite artists are Patty Griffin, Pink, Dolly Parton, and Elvis
Books The Giving Tree, Night, Geek Love, Water for Elephants, Babylons Ark, The Devil & The White City
  Causes The theme within all my cause work is FREEDOM: Freedom from abuse, neglect, and terror. Freedom from inequality, prejudice, and hate. Freedom from ignorance, disease and poverty. Nonprofits I Donate To I give a great deal of time, money and energies to various organizations - sometimes on a regular basis, sometimes per request for a special event. My favorites are ones that help animals, equality, children and women's well-being. Below are just a few that I work with consistently. Places I Volunteer At IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS, Bark Avenue Foundation, Young Williams Animal Center, PAWS Atlanta, Humane Society of the United States, Reading for the Blind & Dyslexic, Book Pals & Read Across America, The Blank's Young Playwrights Festival, and What a Pair Other Ways I Make a Difference in The World ON-LINE ACTIVISM is an easy way to make a difference. I have signed up to receive numerous notices from various organizations around the world, and almost daily I take some action with just a few clicks on my keyboard. It give me a great sense of empowerment.
The next way I make a difference is with THE POWER OF MY DOLLAR. I do everything I can to make sure I am buying humane products, and staying away from individuals and companies who harm animals, people and the environment. The National Anti-Vivisection Society (www.navs.org) is a wonderful resource to check who's-who among humane companies. Other Ways I Would Like to Make a Difference I would love to be a political figure on behalf of animals. How does "Ambassador Hendrix" sound?! People I Would Like to Collaborate With The kind of people I want to collaborate with are Positive, effective, successful people who have integrity, ethics, compassion, and something to say. I like to be around other action-oriented people who understand the that life is circular, i.e. what goes around comes around. Projects I Would Like to Collaborate On The kind of projects I want to collaborate on involve generating a higher level of HUMANE EDUCATION (on behalf of animals and humans alike.) I am presently spearheading a new anti-fur campaign "Think Again" for IN DEFENSE OF ANIMALS, set to launch summer '08. I am an action-oriented person who loves to get "involved". Being on the front-lines getting my hands dirty excites me most. Projects I Need Help With Saving the lives of millions of animals world-wide who are being abused, neglected, tortured and killed every day.
