Melissa Joan Hart Fired From 2 Shows in 1 Night
10 Dec
Summary
- Hart was fired from 'Scary Movie' for not having large enough breasts.
- She learned of her 'Scary Movie' firing while en route to the airport.
- Hart was also fired from 'Sabrina' on the same night due to a magazine cover.
Actress Melissa Joan Hart recounted a profoundly difficult night in her career, marked by simultaneous dismissals from two major projects. The actress was on her way to film 'Scary Movie,' a parody film, but was recalled to attend the premiere of 'Drive Me Crazy.' She learned her role in 'Scary Movie' was rescinded after a fitting, with producers deeming her chest size unsuitable for the part.
Tragically, the setbacks did not end there. Upon returning to the film premiere, Hart's lawyer informed her that she was also being terminated from her popular TGIF series, 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch.' This second firing was a consequence of a 'Maxim' magazine cover featuring the actress, which the network deemed inappropriate.
Despite the distress of being fired and facing a lawsuit, Hart eventually retained her role on 'Sabrina.' She argued that the magazine's nature inherently involved provocative imagery and that the network had no substantial grounds for her dismissal. 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch' continued its successful run until 2003.
