television commercial at age 4, she is now a veteran of television, film and
theater.

opposite Martin Sheen in The Crucible. She also starred opposite
William Hurt in the Circle Repertory production of Beside Herself and
in Circle Rep's Imagining Brad. This summer, she returned to her
theatrical roots to appear in the hit Off-Broadway production of The Vagina
Monologues.
Hart first made her mark in
television playing the title role in Nickelodeon's award-winning Clarissa
Explains It All. In addition to Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Hart
has appeared on such series as Just Shoot Me and That 70's Show
and co-hosted the American Music Awards with Brandy.
