Elaine Hendrix Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education

Katherine Elaine Hendrix was born on 28 December 1970 in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. She is the daughter of Thomas Hendrix Jr, an ex-military officer who served in the Vietnam War, and his wife, Mary Hendrix. Her parents divorced when she was in her teenage years, and she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, with her mother.

When in Atlanta, she went to Northside School of Performing Arts, and began training in jazz and modern dances. This secured her a start in show business, as she was first a dancer and model but later began acting.

Dancing and Modeling

When Elaine was in her senior year of high school, she won at a model search event, and signed a professional contract with the Gary Harrison Dance Company. Endorsements soon followed, as she was doing modeling and dancing gigs for such brands as Levi’s, Mattle, Sun Microsystems, and Nike, among others. Moreover, she collaborated with MC Hammer, Whoodini, and Keith Sweat, among other hip-hop artists.

After her initial success, Elaine moved to Los Angeles, California, but unfortunately Elaine was involved in a terrible car accident while riding her bike, which ended her dancing and modeling careers.
