Earlier in the season, Hendrix, who graduated from Northside School of Performing Arts, now known as North Atlanta High School spoke with Channel 2 Action News about making a comeback to dancing after a career-ending injury.
She initially pursued a career in modeling and dancing, but a car accident while she was riding a bicycle forced her to pivot.
“I’m doing it for the fans, and especially women, you know, of a certain age, and young girls who can, like look up and go, ‘Yeah, I can do that,’” Hendrix said.
“Dancing with the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Channel 2.
