She’s the oldest of eight children most of whom eventually made guest appearances on “Sabrina.”
“And I was kept out of Hollywood.
I filmed my first show [“Clarissa Explains It All”] in Orlando… Like many of her thespian peers, Hart spent a lot of her early years in theater.
Unexpectedly, the show became a massive success.
I’m just honored I have people tell me every day ‘I grew up with you.’
It’s just so lovely.
Everyone thinks I went to high school with them.
They all feel like I’m a friend and that’s such an amazing feeling.”
Like “Clarissa,” the show became a phenomenon.
Their only similarity is that they don’t give in to peer pressure.
If there is any message, it’s ‘Be yourself.’

All my books said ‘I heart Will’ when I was, like, 14.”
Apparently, it all started when Hart threw a birthday party at an arcade, and Friedle was invited.
And by the end of the night, we were ‘dating’ and all that kind of stuff.
It was a whirlwind romance.
I don’t think we even kissed did we even kiss?"
he asked Hart, who couldn’t remember either.
“At first I was like, ‘Who’s Will?’
And then, something came to me where I was like, ‘Oh my God!
I know who that is!'”
To her surprise, she ended up really loving it.
and I would have to explain it," Hart shared withCBS News.
“I realized I should just do this.
Thank God she did that because who knows if I would’ve ever taken that lead.
It was really hard to be in front and behind the camera.”
Ultimately, she was glad that she got the experience under her belt.

Two years later, Hart gave birth to a second son named Braydon.
Hart finally had enough in 2009 and dropped an astonishing 42 lbs.

“Everyone still thinks I’m huge, but I’m not anymore!”
“We’re both 34,” Hart reported to the Chicago Tribune in 2010.
“And we’ve both been in this business 30 years.
We started almost the exact same time.”
We don’t know if they believe in Jesus.”
