Sabrina the Teenage Witch: What Happened to Melissa Joan Hart After the Show Ended?
The actress is a good example of a child actor who has found her way in life after the hit show's conclusion.
On her 16th birthday, Sabrina Spellman learns that she is a hereditary witch and has been surrounded by magic all her life. Her aunts Hilda and Zelda are powerful witches, and her pet, a black cat named Salem, is actually a criminal who wanted to take over the world, so he was turned into a cat for one hundred years.
This kind of news will make anyone's head spin. The teenage witch has to go to a new school, meet new friends and of course her first love.
In 1996, the first episodes of Sabrina the Teenage Witch were released, starring Melissa Joan Hart. The actress immediately became an icon for all teenagers — the young witch came across problems and heroically overcame them with a surprising tenacity for seven seasons until 2003.
At the same time, Sabrina never became heartless and always found a way out of difficult situations (usually of her own making).
Melissa enjoyed the fame that the show brought her — she appeared in magazines and talk shows, and even tried her hand at directing for the first time on the set of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. In addition, three full-length feature films have been made about the adventures of the witch that fit into the storyline of the show: Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Sabrina Goes to Rome, and Sabrina Down Under.
In 2003, the show was canceled due to a drop in ratings, and Hart was in search of new roles.
Unlike many child actors who could not find their place in the world of cinema, Melissa Joan Hart continues to act and still appears on the big screen. After Sabrina the Teenage Witch, she also had leading roles in successful romantic comedies, such as My Fake Fiancé and Holiday in Handcuffs, as well as TV series, including Melissa & Joey and The Mysteries of Laura.
Melissa Joan Hart is now 47 years old. She is raising three sons, doing charity work and recording a podcast about popular TV shows and movies called What Women Binge.
