Though Hendricks was born in Knoxville, Tennessee to her very American mother, her father, Robert, originally hails from Birmingham, England, and so she is lucky enough to have attained dual UK/US citizenship. She took advantage of this as a youngster, living in London for a year in the mid-90s before heading to Los Angeles to start her career. Of the city, she said, "I was 21. It was the height of Britpop...I remember dancing all night at The Marquee club. I fell in love with London that night and never wanted to leave." Plus, going by her astute recommendations for places to hang out in London, she's still plenty fond of the UK.
