She transitioned to film with roles as Purple in Rapunzel: A Princess Frozen in Time (2019), Christy in Trico Tri Happy Halloween (2018), and Beatrice in Anastasia: Once Upon a Time (2020). In 2022, she hosted The Kendall K. & Friends Show on CBS, interviewing celebrities like Paulina Porizkova and Renee Zellweger.
