Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix, and Lisa Ann Walter’s DWTS reunion and an 18-year secret.
When Nick Parker cheered on Meredith Blake!
Actress Elaine Hendrix, who played our favorite “bride,” Meredith Blake, is currently showcasing her talent on “Dancing with the Stars” (DWTS).
And who came to support her on this special “Dedication Night”?
None other than her on-screen fiancé and Parent Trap co-star, Dennis Quaid!
Yes, the 71-year-old actor, known to us as Nick Parker, himself arrived at the ballroom to cheer on his old friend. This reunion was truly heartwarming!
The dance was dedicated to Lisa Ann Walter
Ellen Hendrix danced a beautiful foxtrot to “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” with her partner, Alan Bersten.
But the highlight of this performance was that Ellen dedicated it to her best friend, Lisa Ann Walter, who played Chassie in The Parent Trap.
Not only dedicated, but Lisa Ann Walter, who also starred in Abbott Elementary, was also present on the dance floor with Ellen and Alan.
This friendship shows how strong the bond between the Parent Trap cast remains!
Dennis Quaid’s Heartwarming Support
Dennis Quaid was seen patting his former co-stars, Ellen and Lisa Ann Walter, on the shoulders and offering encouragement before the performance.
And after the dance was over? Their reaction was even more powerful!
Dennis Quaid applauded, nodded, and the audience roared with joy!
Speaking about her support group, Ellen said, “This love and support mean everything to me.
When you find people like that in your life, you have to hold on to them, because they’re ‘lifers.’
Earlier, Ellen had also described Lisa Ann Walter as her “life security blanket,” someone she instantly finds comforting.
18-Year Difference and ‘Great Chemistry’
Not just the reunion, Ellen also discussed her chemistry with Dennis Quaid during the filming of The Parent Trap.
Ellen said in an interview that she and Dennis had “great chemistry” on the film.
As a reminder, Ellen was 26 when filming began, while Dennis was 44—a whopping 18 years apart!
Laughing at the significant age gap, Ellen said, “He (Dennis Quaid) is just a guy.”
She reasoned that perhaps she was “a little older at 26,” and Dennis was “a little younger at 44,” and that perhaps that’s why they made such a good pairing on screen!
She also clarified that her character, Meredith Blake, was no ordinary girl of her age.
A red convertible car, designer clothes, and an engagement to a vineyard owner at 26—all of this showed her ambition, something Ellen could relate to.
Truly, the cast of The Parent Trap is still like family!
