I grew up in the 90s and was a huge fan of Clarissa & Sabrina. I love how honest and candid Melissa is in this interview.

[@RaulGonzalez-xt1kx]

I also have a lot of appreciation for her because I grew up with her shows.

How dare you not give this queen the most flattering thumbnail ❤ she is our childhood royalty!!!!!

I know! I had the click on it just to make sure she was OK. Thankfully that was just a terrible still. Guess that was their intention though.

She was my childhood. ❤️

I can say watch Sabrina the teenage witch over and over. I find it my comfort show.

I met her in mexico a few years ago, and i asked for a photo and she was so nice and so friendly and she was with her husband and kids back then.. love her!

[@Glitteringmoonstone2022]

I watched her on podcast once, her and friends saw Daniel Radcliffe. Her friend wanted to meet him Melissa didn't know him but she encouraged her friend with her went and she introduced herself to him. Daniel then got so excited because he was a Sabrina fan. It was cute meeting. I love her, she is a true gem ❤

[@Kris-annKingyens]

She is one of the many few 90s actos, who stayed classy.

I love her honesty and self awareness

[@pt4005]

That last question about her younger self and her response… ‘no regrets’ and ‘you’re smashing it’ must feel so wholesome. She’s so nice

[@bmarie216]

I grew up watching Melissa, Joan Hart and I think she’s a really good actress. I wish she would do a Clarissa explains it all reboot. That was one of my favorite shows growing up. 😀👍🏻

[@PeteNoir]

It almost happened a few years ago but I think it got shelved. The creator of Clarissa, Mitchell Kriegman, wrote a sequel novel in 2015 though called "Things I Can't Explain"

[@lofthouse23]

Nah it would probably be 'darker' and 'edgier' like most reboots these days.

[@jamesjemmy]

Melissa and Joey is a classic on my book. That series does not get enough love every episode was good 😩🙌🏾

Really cool to see! Melissa does not even look 40. I had to Google to see she's 48. I pray to look that good when I'm 48! She seems well grounded, too. I love her!

[@Light-tc8xc]

She 100% looks her age.

[@jewellllll]

@@Light-tc8xc agree to disagree

[@TheVetoSkreeemer]

Actually she looks a little bit older

[@jewellllll]

@@TheVetoSkreeemer I mean 🤷‍♀️ you're entitled to your opinion.

[@danakscully64]

@@Light-tc8xc She absolutely looks her age and I find it so weird that people disagree. I'm 37 and she looks about 10 years older than me. My sister is a few years younger than her and they look like young Gen X. It's not an insult to look your age. The older I get, the more I realize that 30s and 40s aren't old. I know people in their 50s who are in better shape and more active than I am.

[@werixwolf]

I was obsessed with MJH! Growing up in the 90s in Poland, watching Clarissa was like stepping into someone's colour and very cool life! she used to go to the concert of Nirvana, Pearl Jam. I couldn't even get an original cassette of thise bands, so she was my absolute idol ❤ Then Sabrina too, magical, cute, going through her first heartbreaks etc. I absolutely loved the wholeness of her characters. Probably watching back it would be corny, but it was pure and comforting when i was young. Thank you Melissa ❤

[@Passionbloom52]

What a lovely interview . My daughter loved watching Sabrina the teenage witch ☺️

[@adriangarcia543]

Melissa Joan Hart please come back being Sabrina the teenage witch one or two more videos

Sadly she won’t. She claims she no longer has the rights to Sabrina. However she did a small Sabrina skit with James Corden a few years back

She looks a lot like her mum now ❤ she was my favourite thing growing up and she’s so smart and talented

Aw shes so wholesome and also lucky that she had her mother guiding her in her younger years to be responsible so she didnt fall into the same trap many many child stars do.

[@jordancampbell9148]

Melissa was awesome on Sabrina the teenage witch and Melissa & Joey those were incredible series

[@kenrickbautista6141]

Honestly, after she hit 40, Melissa's career might've stalled. Which is one of the real reasons why she doesn't appear much on screen anymore. Even though she's grown-up, she's not as huge as she used to be. Regardless, I still think she looks good.
