Melissa Joan Hart, who waltzed into audiences' heart as a teenage witch and then as a narcissistic politician, will be celebrating her 39th birthday on Friday, 18 April.
Melissa, who basically grew up watching TV, is among the few child stars of her generation that didn't have a public meltdown or drug abuse problem. After casting a spell on her viewers as "Sabrina the Teenage Witch", she made a comeback to television with her dear friend and fellow child actor of her time, Joey Lawrence.
"Melissa & Joey", the story of a local politician, her niece, nephew and their uncanny nanny caught the attention of many and became a beloved show over the four seasons it ran. The funny sitcom which was wrapped up on 12 February 2015, was famous for its amazing storylines and build-ups.
