Biography

Hart is a daughter of television producer Paula Hart (née Voje) 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, who competed on Season 5 of the American version of MasterChef in 2014, finishing in 3rd place.[2] 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.[2]

Hart started acting influenced by her older sister Melissa.[3] In 1994, she played 4-year-old Tommy in the Broadway production of The Who's Tommy.[4] 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.[5] 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,[6] for which she was nominated for the Young Artist Awards in 2000 and 2001, winning the second of the two.[7][8] Also in 2001, Hart starred as the teenaged 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.[9]

In 2005, Hart starred in a short film Mute, directed by her older sister Melissa.[10] In 2009 she played York in the horror thriller film Nine Dead, which also featured her older sister Melissa. She was the narrator for the 2016 audio book Things I Can't Explain: A Clarissa Novel.[11]

Personal life

In September 2013, Hart married Alex Madar. They have two sons.
