She's known for her roles in "Drive Me Crazy" in 1999, "The Right Connections" in 1997, and also "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," just like her sisters.
Elizabeth is a wife and a mother of two. She tied the knot on May 18, 2003, and her husband's name is Warren Savage. The couple shares two sons, Christopher and Jonathan.
The actress seems to be a pet-lover as she has three dogs, and she gave her dogs quirky names: Bruno, Lola, and Peakley.
BRIAN HART
Brian Hart is Paula and William Hart's only son. He was born on May 19, 1984, in Long Island, New York.
Brian, who his eldest sister Melissa fondly calls Booger, also pursued a career in acting. He has a few acting credits, which include "The Right Connections," "The Santa Con," and "Sweet Harts."
The sibling has been married to his wife Giovanna Augello since September 2015. The couple has two children together.
EMILY HART
Emily Anne Hart is the second most well-known sibling in the Hart family. Like all her siblings, Emily also appeared on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," staying in the show all seven seasons.
Born on May 2, 1986, the actress has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, including "Child Star: The Shirley Temple Story" and "The Right Connections."
Melissa's younger sister almost got her own spin-off show based on her character on "Sabrina the Teenage Witch," which her mother Paula pushed to get. However, Emily wasn't on board with the idea and wanted to stay in school.
Emily and her husband Alex Madar tied the knot in 2013, and the couple has two lovely children together.
