Break out the peanut butter and Oreos: The cast of “The Parent Trap” reunited on Monday for the first time since filming the 1998 movie, for a special on Katie Couric’s Instagram …
, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter and Simon Kunz gathered to celebrate and remember the family film which put Lohan on the map. She played a pair of twins, Hallie and Annie, who meet for the first time at camp and realize that their parents had separated them and kept them a secret from each other. They devise a plan to switch parents, with one going to their father Nick Parker and the other to their mother Elizabeth James .
Meyers then talked about the challenges the cast and crew faced shooting both twins without making it obvious that Lohan was just one actress. Meyers had to pick the take and match the characters on the spot, telling Lohan when she had to switch parts. Lindsay’s double Erin Mackey was on hand every day of the shoot.
“[She was] just somebody so giving and so glad to be there and transmitted that joy of being able to do what we do and just made everything that much better,” Quaid said. “This movie had the fantasy of getting your parents back together,” Shyer said. “So many kids come from broken homes. I did, and I think it fulfilled that dream for kids.”
