Larawang Tribiya

Subalit alam niyo bang hindi na siya teenager nang gampanan niya ang papel na tumagal ng pitong seasons? Noong 1995 pumasok si Hart sa new York University, subalit hindi niya nagawang tapusin ang kursong kinuha niya nang alukin siyang gumanap sa title role ng 1996 TV movie na Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Halos 20-anyos na siya noon. Sinundan ito ng television series na may parehong pamagat na tumagal hanggang 2003. Noong namang July 19, 2003, nagpakasal siya sa musician na si Mark Wilkerson sa isang televised wedding.
