Disney’s 1998 remake of “The Parent Trap” certainly has a lasting legacy on popular culture!
This is the first time we’ve seen Lindsay Lohan on the big screen, and it’s probably a big reason why the combination of peanut butter and Oreos entered the cultural lexicon!
The legacy of the film would have a huge impact on the two actors of the film for the rest of their lives; Lisa Ann Walter and Elaine Hendrix will always remember the movie for playing a pivotal role in their decades-long relationship!
That’s right- Chessy and Meredith Blake are inseparable best friends in real life!
Walter plays the beloved maid to Nick Parker and Lohan in the Dennis Quaid film, while Hendrix plays the sly and seductive Meredith, the villain who stands between Hallie and her long-estranged twin sister Annie’s dream of reuniting their parents!
Inside the Enduring Friendship of Walter And Hendrix
The various aspects surrounding “The Parent Trap” have kept the film circulating in the popular culture hemisphere in recent years! Walter, who currently stars in the popular sitcom “Abbot Elementary,” and his beloved character Chessy will be a TikTok match, as users begin paying tribute by recreating scenes and highlighting Chessy’s simple but stylish wardrobe!

The Internet also decided to collectively reframe how it viewed Meredith’s character; Hendrix, himself, helped fans review how the character has long been seen on TikTok too!
She would create TikTok while in character as Meredith for E!, where she explained (among other reasons), “It’s not my fault [Nick] lied to his son all his life and I became the one who prevented the ‘happy ending…!’ (every Insider)

For Hendrix and Walter, “The Parent Trap” is just one part of their long history as close friends. The two are often seen on Instagram together, including photos where they can be seen as each other’s dates for red carpet events.
This movie may be a small part of their history (they met before landing roles in the movie, according to Vanity Fair), but it’s an important one!
The outlet reports that the two’s friendship is strengthened by the time they spend between scenes. The two would show their goofy side by dressing up and creating characters to “entertain themselves.”
The bond between the two would continue for decades since the film was released! When describing his friendship with Hendrix, Walter said, “Elaine was family. He knows all my children, and we don’t need anyone else. We have each other. Elaine is my sister now; I picked him up,” Walter joked.
Hendrix and Walter have taken their bond to TikTok several times, including filming a classic scene featuring the two together in 2021’s “The Parent Trap.”

Fans were happy to see the two recreate the “You rang?” scene!
“I NEED TO TAKE A PERSONAL DAY FROM THIS,” TikToker and millennial-themed influencer Rod, wrote.
“I love that you’re such a good friend in real life,” TikToker Zachariah commented on TikTok, which Hendrix posted.
Comedian Caitlin Reilly comments on what we all think when she writes “ICONIC” in capital letters.
Walter is said to have subtly referenced his character in the episode “Abbot Elementary” where his character wore an outfit similar to the legendary thread Chessy! Hendrix has also referenced Meredith Blake several times on his TikTok account as well.
