Melissa Joan Hart, best known for playing Sabrina Spellman in the 1990s sitcom 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch', celebrates her 50th birthday on 18 April. The actress, who also starred in 'Clarissa Explains It All', has shared her journey of transformation with fans, revealing she lost 18 pounds last year by cutting sugar and alcohol.
Hart, who has been in perimenopause, told People magazine she felt stronger and better than she had in a long time. She documented her fitness routine on Instagram, including high-intensity classes and workouts with dumbbells. Her diet focuses on lean meats, vegetables, and protein shakes, and she has not consumed alcohol for over a year.
Reflecting on her child stardom, Hart posted a throwback photo from a 1992 fitting for 'Clarissa Explains It All', which aired from 1991 to 1994. She later became a teen icon as Sabrina Spellman, a role she played from 1996 to 2003. Hart is married to Mark Wilkerson and has three sons: Mason, 20, Braydon, 17, and Tucker, 13.
