蕾切尔·亨德里克斯 (1985)

Rachel Hendrix

Born and raised in Alabama, Hendrix is an award-winning film actress known for her break-out role in the indie drama OCTOBER BABY. She was introduced to filmmaker Kris Kimlin (cinematographer of Mom's Night Out, Coffee Shop, Woodlawn) while studying photography at the University of Montevallo. After accepting his offer for a lead role in his first short film "Letting Go", Hendrix decided to pursue acting more seriously. Jon and Andy Erwin of Erwin Brothers Films began development on a film and reached out, asking Hendrix to accept a role written with her in mind to play. She accepted and opportunities arose as Hendrix garnered national acclaim for her inaugural debut in the 2011 award-winning film, October Baby. The film's unique grass-roots campaign impressed Hollywood with the 2nd highest per-screen average in the box-office opening weekend. The film launched her acting career and since then, the screen beckoned. The late Roger Ebert noted that Hendrix was, "surprisingly capable in her first feature role."
