Hendryx also dabbled in acting. She wrote and performed the theme for "Landlord Blues" (1987), while also having a small part in the film as attorney Sally Viscuso. She played herself in the late-1990s Pam Grier series "Linc's", and at the end of the show, accompanied herself on the piano for "Lift Every Voice." Most recently, she appeared in the third season of "The L Word", which closed with Grier, Hendryx, and the trio BETTY singing a cover of the Hendryx track "Transformation."
