Born in 1985, Michelle Trachtenberg debuted on Nickelodeon with a part in just one episode of “Clarissa Explains It All.” Soon, she won the role of Nona Mecklenberg in Nick’s “The Adventures of Pete & Pete,” which ran until 1996. She was nine when she scored that gig! Next, she starred as Harriet in the first Nickelodeon TV movie, “Harriet the Spy.”
Trachtenberg was a Nick star for years until she moved to adult showbiz. Playing Buffy’s sister in the fifth season of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” was the role responsible for transitioning her career. She was a promise to the industry, and there wasn’t a sole who didnt see a bright and glorious future for the young actress.
Melissa Joan Hart Then
Melissa Joan Hart was a Nickelodeon sweetheart starring on the network’s popular show "Clarissa Explains It All." She was one of the first Nick kid stars. She played Clarissa Darling for the entire run, from 1991 to 1994. Out of six nominations, she won favorite actress at the Kids’ Choice Awards once. Moving on to television movies, Hart starred in ABC’s "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and the network’s "Melissa & Joey."
Joan Hart's mother was a talent manager who helped launch Melissa's career. Through her talent and hard work, Melissa Joan Hart established herself as a successful actress and has continued to work in various TV shows and movies, which we all enjoy until this very day.
Melissa Now
While Melissa continues to act and has landed roles in several TV shows and movies like " No Good Nick" and "The Casagrandes," she's expanded her skill set! She tried her hand at fashion in 2015, opening up a line called King of Harts with Mark Wilkerson, a native New Yorker musician, and her husband. She's also come a long way as a director and producer for projects like "iCarly," "Young Sheldon," and "The Goldbergs."
Melissa and Mark have been together for over two decades, and they bring up their three beautiful children. That's a long time of being together for a Hollywood couple. We have not heard the last of her.
Michelle Now
Things went according to expectations. Michelle cemented her place in teen idol history by starring as Georgina Sparks in the cult classic early series "Gossip Girl" and as Casey Carlyle in the figure-skating drama "Ice Princess." Reflecting on her career, she said, “I don’t necessarily believe that I will act and be a lead forever, but I want to continue to act for a long time.
I love to do what I do.” While her acting career has since slowed down, she's been romantically linked to rapper Kid Cudi. The actress publicly revealed that she was working on a crime show and that there were more exciting projects waiting to release. We can't wait.
