Melissa Joan Hart

The new season of The New Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is starting so and it made me wonder what became of TV's first Sabrina.

She starred in a TV show I never heard of with Joey Lawrence, opened a candy shop (and was sued a former employee alleging wrongful termination and racial discrimination!) that subsequently closed, and is a Gary Johnson supporter!

She always reminded me of the girl in this scene:

I’m still trying to forgive her for DIRTBAGS. I was in it, and yet I still personally thanked God when I got up here for making sure it didn’t get picked up.

R4 She's moderate. She's very gay friendly as well.

It's baffling as to why she doesn't have a bigger career. She's incredibly talented, and a great comedienne.

Or to some she's better known as Clarissa.

She's been in some TV Christmas movies. Holiday in Hancuffs is hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

She directed a 3rd season episode of "So Weird"

She was a kid star. They only very rarely become successful performers in adulthood, partly because they're different skill sets. (Partly because many cute kids grow up to be plain-to-fug.)

She showed up to this anti-drug event with her boyfriend (?), both stoned out of their minds, giggling uncontrollably and reeking of weed.

R16 At least she was sober enough to remember how to stand like a Barbie in a box! What kind of weirdness is going on with her arms and hands?

I'm probably one of the few who likes Drive Me Crazy. Apparently Melissa was upset about Adrian Grenier being cast as her love interest and wanted Elijah Wood to play Chase instead lol

She's fervently anti-choice. That is what is at the heart of any conservative leanings she has.

Grew up with Clarissa and Sabrina. I always thought Clarissa was a good role model for young girls. I always thought she would've grown up to play the same type of roles as Julia Stiles did but instead did teenybopper stuff like Drive Me Crazy which seemed strange at the time.

by Anonymousreply 22January 24, 2020 5:08 PM

I remember back in the late 90s she was on LOVELINE like three or four times, for some weird reason that was never explained.

Her best appearance imo was when she sat in with Drew & Adam for a full show, alongside her ABC roster-mate and fellow comedic teen actor Mike Damus (best known for TEEN ANGEL costarring DL faves Maureen McCormick & Jordan Brower plus earnest Mormon cutie Corbin Allred). Melissa talked a lot about co-founding some kind of motivational-speaking program with her Mom intended to dissuade teens from using substances.

I just felt kind of bad for her. She was pretty young when she admitted in an interview that she got tired from having to work all the time and go to school too. She was supporting her whole family and her mom kept having babies. I think there are 7 kids in all or something.

Is she as homophobic as Kevin Hart, Ellen’s favorite homophobe?

She'll probably do more Christian movies over the next decade.

R18, Drive was written by Rob Thomas of Veronica Mars and it really shows. I think it's ironic because Hart is so much better in this role than Kristen Bell would have been. Much more likable. I also think it's a really good teen movie but I also heard she and Grenier had a big affair on the set, so if that's true, she got over the casting pretty quickly. Typically great Thomas lines: Girl: It's easy to be a bitch now that Brad is available. Melissa: It's easy to be a bitch either way. And Melissa: Who are we making jealous now? Adrian: Everyone. Everyone.

Don't cry for Hart. Her husband is part of the Hollywood Wilkersons, meaning she's rolling in dough.

Typical Catholic Suffolk County trash, complete with an overweight stage mother who never practiced birth control.

And that’s all deplorable territory out there — similar to Staten Island.

I don't like Melissa. The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina is fantastic, minus the trans character Susie/Theo, but whatever. I just binged watched the new third Season, and it was even better than the previous Seasons!

When I was in middle school and she was on that Clarissa show, she came to our local mall for an autograph signing. I'm ashamed and embarrassed to admit that I went and stood in line (it was free and I was a dumb kid, obviously). The bitch never once looked up from the table to acknowledge a single one of her fans and when I got up to her I saw that she was just banging out autographs and then putting tally marks on a sheet of paper for each photo she signed. I've never liked her after that.

by Anonymousreply 53January 27, 2020 4:13 PM

R53 LMAO I remember you telling that story on here before and the part about the tally marks had me cracking up! What a bitch. Did she even mumble hi or say anything?

And she wonders why her career never really took off.

by Anonymousreply 54January 27, 2020 6:44 PM

I don't recall her mumbling anything, but this was almost thirty years ago at this point so it's possible she conjured up the energy to say "hi" underneath her breath. I've never forgotten the fact that she never looked up at anyone though along with that sheet of paper with all the tally marks on it! The little red headed kid who played her brother on the show was also there signing autographs that day and he actually looked up and smiled at the people who had stood in line to see him. It was all business for Miss Melissa though!

She’s obviously still a Republican cunt and a Trumpster because right after it was announced Biden won, she was on IG posting a picture of the Hallmark movie schedule and said “Need an escape from reality?”

She peaked as a kid and sadly kid actors can’t transition when they’re so typecast. Also she’s just not good looking enough. But again her man. I’m thinking he’s in it for something else. Former druggie now born again maybe? Or she’s his beard?
