Biography
Hart is the daughter of television producer Paula Hart and William Hart, a businessman. She has six sisters (three of whom are half-sisters) and one brother. Her stepfather (since 1994) is television executive Leslie Gilliams.[1] Her older siblings Melissa, Trisha, Elizabeth, and Brian Hart have all been in show business to varying degrees, as have younger half-sisters Alexandra Gilliams, Samantha Gilliams, and Mackenzie Hart.[1]
Hart started acting influenced by her older sister Melissa.[2] In 1994, she played Tommy, Age 4 in the Broadway production of The Who's Tommy.[3] In 1998, she won a Young Artist Award for her role in the television movie The Right Connections. She was also nominated that year for a guest appearance on the series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, in which her sister Melissa Joan Hart starred.[4] A later episode of that series, entitled "Witchright Hall", served as a backdoor pilot for a possible spin-off series starring Hart as Sabrina's younger cousin Amanda, but the show was not picked up by The WB.
In 1999, Hart was cast in the title role of Sabrina: The Animated Series while her older sister Melissa co-starred as Hilda and Zelda Spellman,[5] for which she was nominated for Young Artist Awards in 2000 and 2001, winning the second of the two.[6][7] Also in 2001, Hart starred as the teen-aged Shirley Temple in the TV movie Child Star: The Story of Shirley Temple. In 2003, she won another Young Artist Award for a guest appearance on the series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.[8]
Hart starred in a 15-minute short film entitled Mute from 2005, directed by her older sister Melissa.[9] In 2008 she played York in the horror thriller film Nine Dead released in 2009/2010, which also featured her older sister Melissa. She was the narrator for the 2016 audio book of Things I Can't Explain: A Clarissa Novel.[10]
Personal life
On September 22, 2013, Hart married Alex Madar. Hart and Madar have two sons, born in 2017.
