Hendricks was raised in Twin Falls, Idaho from third grade until high school. She left Twin Falls after the 8th grade in 1989. This may mean that her actual birth year is not 1978 but 1975. She got her start acting in Junior Musical Playhouse productions, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
As an actress, Hendricks has made her mark in a number of guest TV appearances. Her first television break came when she became a regular in the series Beggars & Choosers. Since then, she has starred in the series The Big Time and The Court, opposite Sally Field and Craig Bierko, as well as the law drama Kevin Hill. She has also had recurring roles in ER and Firefly. She guest-starred in episodes of Angel, Miss Match, Tru Calling, Presidio Med, Without a Trace, and Las Vegas. Hendricks also starred opposite Kip Pardue in South of Pico.
Hendricks has been seen on two episodes (on October 3, 2007 and November 7, 2007) of the new TV show Life in the role of Olivia, detective Charlie Crews' soon-to-be step-mother. It is not known yet if this role will expand or become recurring.
Hendricks has a regular supporting role in the AMC series Mad Men, which centers on the macho, booze-soaked world of advertising in New York City circa 1960. Her character, Joan, is the chief of an advertising agency's secretarial pool and mentors a group of women who must deal with the come-ons and callousness of professional advertising executives. Mad Men premiered on July 19, 2007.
