Melissa Explains it All by Melissa Joan Hart

Melissa Explains it All by Melissa Joan Hart

Melissa Joan Hart, the star of Clarissa Explains It All and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, explains it all - onscreen and behind the scenes. Melissa Joan Hart explained it all-from dating to bullies-in her ground breaking role as Clarissa Darling on Clarissa Explains It All. She cast a spell on millions more viewers as Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Now, in Melissa Explains It All, Melissa tells the frank and funny truth about her extraordinary past and her refreshingly normal present. From the moment four-year-old Melissa decided she wanted to be on television, she has shown a singular determination and focus-whether it's for booking three national commercials so her dad would build her a tree house or for nailing the Clarissa audition. And she never let fame go to her head. With one foot in Hollywood and one foot in reality, Melissa makes us laugh along with her as she talks about: guest appearances in shows like Saturday Night Live and The Equalizer; auditioning for Punky Brewster and Clarissa; her early Broadway days; wacky parties she's thrown and attended; the actors who influenced her and whom she befriended, worked with and competed against; her experiences both on off-set-with Sabrina's Salem the Cat and Elvis the Alligator on Clarissa; and, how she met the love of her life at the Kentucky Derby.

Melissa Hart grew up in Southern California. She earned her BA in literature from UC Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies, and her MFA in creative writing from Goddard College. She taught at Ventura College and Santa Barbara City College before moving to Oregon. She currently teaches Magazine Writing at the University of Oregon, and teaches Introduction to Memoir for UC Berkeley's online extension program. The latter course is available to the general public.

Hart has led workshops for Oregon Writers' Colony, the Willamette Writers, North Coast Redwood Writers, and Oregon's chapter of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. She teaches distance-learning Humanities courses for Laurel Springs School, and writes resource books for Teacher Created Resources.

Melissa Hart lives in Eugene, Oregon, with her husband, photographer Jonathan B. Smith, and their three dogs, five cats, and four rabbits. She enjoys international and local travel, gardening, running and hiking, and working with owls at the Cascades Raptor Center.
