In the bustling little village of Smithtown, New York, on Easter Sunday April 18, 1976, a baby girl was born to a young couple.
This young carpenter (Billy Hart) and his wife (Paula Hart) named the baby: Melissa Joan Hart. They could never anticipate the many wonderful things their daughter would accomplish and the millions of people worldwide who would know her name.
Melissa was soon joined by a sister (Trisha) and the family moved to the village of Sayville, New York. At the age of four Melissa told her mother she wanted to hear her name on the children’s program “Romper Room” and that she wanted to be on television. Following the birth of Melissa’s second sister (Elizabeth), Paula began taking Melissa to New York City to audition for roles in commercials. Demonstrating her talent at such a young age, Melissa booked the first four commercial for which she auditioned, the first of which was for a doll called “Splashy.”
Melissa loved to act, so her mother traveled as often as possible to NYC for her to perform in commercials and television (Saturday Night Live among others). Trisha and Elizabeth became involved in acting as well, and soon they were joined by a brother (Brian). Melissa’s first major role came in 1986, in a television movie called “Christmas Snow” acting opposite Katherine Helmond and Sid Caesar. This same year Melissa’s youngest “Hart” sister (Emily) was born. Even though the family was involved in acting roles, their roles at home were the same as any normal family. They attended school, played with friends and participated in after-school activities. One of Melissa’s favorite was learning to play the flute and girl scouts! In the eighth grade, Melissa completed her Catholic Confirmation, at which time she chose the name “Catherine,” hence her full name as seen online: Melissa Joan Catherine Hart.
