The Parent Trap is an American family-comedy film-series, including the original theatrical film, three made-for-television sequel movies, and a theatrical legacy sequel/soft-remake.

Like her character, Hendrix was 26 at the time of filming. Quaid, her on-screen love interest, was notably older at 44 years old.

The Parent Trap is a 1961 American romantic comedy film written and directed by David Swift. It stars Hayley Mills (in a dual role) as a pair of teenage twins plotting to reunite their divorced parents by switching places with each other. Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith play the parents.

“We can't make a Parent Trap 2, that's for sure, because nobody could ever replace her,” he explained.

The 1961 version, while the original, is undoubtedly less enjoyable than the 1998 adaptation. The twins in the original version, Susan and Sharon, played by Hayley Mills, were very similar personality-wise; they have the same tendencies and patterns.

The January 28, 2024 ABC broadcast removes the scene where Annie dives into the lake naked. The 2024 ABC telecast removes all scenes in which Elizabeth is seen smoking or drinking. A version shown on the Disney channel also edits the piercing scene as well as the the following two scenes: When Annie says "Oh my God!

The lizard we see crawling down Meredith's face into her mouth is animated. They didn't even bother to match the color of the live lizard, but I'll bet that most of the audience didn't notice.

"Apparently it was short for Francesca, and Chessy was the nickname of a designer friend of Nancy Meyers, so that's where it came from." Many people in the comments were shocked by the revelation. One person said: "Omg! and I have seen this movie a thousand times" and another said: "My whole childhood was a lie!

Lisa Ann Walter as Chessy, Nick's housekeeper and Hallie's nanny. She has long considered herself rather awkward and thus not overly desirable to eligible bachelors, but then she meets Martin, and the two are mutually smitten. Chessy also discovers that "Hallie" is actually Annie after noticing her strange behavior.

The 1998 film doesn't deviate from the 1961 film's pacing all that much, but the decision to show both Hallie and Annie individually arriving at camp and having brief conversations with other characters is a quick but effective way to distinguish the two girls before they come into contact with one another.

Are the girls in the original Parent Trap twins? ›

Susan and Sharon are identical twins separated at birth.

Contrary to some popular rumors, Lindsay Lohan never had a twin sister and used a double for some of The Parent Trap scenes. The New York native starred as both Halle and Annie in the 1998 remake of the film alongside Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson.

Meredith Blake is the main antagonist of the 1998 live action film The Parent Trap, itself a remake of the 1961 film of the same name. She was portrayed by Elaine Hendrix, who also portrayed Alexis Colby in seasons 3-6 of the 2017 reboot of Dynasty.

Erin Mackey got her showbiz start at age 11, playing Lindsay Lohan's double in the 1998 film The Parent Trap.

Elizabeth is fearful of remarrying, but she yields to Nick's unwavering confidence, and Hallie and Annie look on happily as their parents embrace. The ending shows Nick and Elizabeth getting remarried aboard the QE2, with the girls as bridesmaids and Martin and Chessy becoming engaged to be married.

I couldn't help but compare to the parent trap (it's the exact same premise, except everyone just decides to call it 'weird' that the two girls are identical). But it really works regardless, it's a cute, fun, mindless movie.

A remake of the 1961 original Disney film starring Hayley Mills, which was an adaptation of Erich Kastner's novel Lottie and Lisa, the film was a box-office success and earned positive reviews, especially for its young star Lohan.

The original film was Mills' second of six films for Disney. Disney also authorized the three made-for-TV sequels, all starring Mills: The Parent Trap II, The Parent Trap III, and The Parent Trap IV: Hawaiian Honeymoon.
