Melissa Joan Hart Says She's 'Flattered' By Fan Frenzy Over Grandmother Role
HuffPost
“I guess now Clarissa can Explain AARP," the actor quipped.
After portraying a grandmother in a new film, Melissa Joan Hart is taking the online frenzy over her role in stride.
“I couldn’t be more flattered that people don’t think of me as a grandmother (no matter how possible it is at the age of 47),” the actor told HuffPost in an email Friday. “I’m proud of my performance in the film and it’s fun to see it go viral.”
In a similarly worded post to Instagram on Friday, she added: “I guess now Clarissa can Explain AARP or play the Middle-Aged Witch.”
Hart, widely known for her roles in “Clarissa Explains It All” and “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” appeared this year in “Would You Kill for Me? The Mary Bailey Story,” which is based on a 1980s true-crime case. In it, she plays Ella, the grandmother of 11-year-old Mary (Presley Allard), who shoots and kills her abusive stepfather (Connor McMahon) at the request of her mother (Olivia Scriven).
Though “Would You Kill for Me?” premiered to minimal fanfare on Lifetime back in October, a clip of the movie circulated on social media this week.
