Career

Henderson tends to be cast as mature and flirtatious women, young boys and teenage girls, as well as foreign women and motherly figures. Her best known roles are

Gundam Wing and Oxnard in Hamtaro. She's the daughter of Bill Henderson, the lead guitarist and singer of the Canadian rock band Chilliwack, and has a younger sister named Camille
, who is also a singer.

Henderson has appeared in live-action work roles, (including a brief appearance in The Fly II as Veronica Quaife replacing Geena Davis who had starred in the first film),[4] the romantic comedy Cousins as Terri Costello, and Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan[5] as rocker J.J. who is killed by Jason Voorhees with her own guitar.

Henderson has also provided backing vocals on several albums, including for ex Free/Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers' 1999 album Electric, as well as being an instructor for the On the Mic Training voice-over training school in Vancouver.[6]

In an interview with Toon Zone, Henderson said that, if she weren't an actress, she would have been a psychologist in order to help people with diabetes, from which she suffers. She mentions Peter Sellers as an influence and that she worked as a showgirl in Spain when she was seventeen.[7][8][9]
