“Sabrina the Teenage Witch” It is one of those series that marked the ’90s. Its episodes, broadcast by Nickelodeon -first- and by Warner Channel -later- marked the generations of children, adolescents and young people who grew up in those times. And many and many of its protagonists took the opportunity to make their great leap to fame with this production.
In case of Melissa Joan Hart It was really special, because although the young woman had just starred in the youth hit “Clarissa explains everything” -also a success on the children’s channel-, after “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” -which aired between 1996 and 2003- did not play such a leading role again. Currently, Joan Hart is 47 years old and remains very active on social networks. Instead, whoever gave life to her nemesis and her archenemy -Libby Chessler- took advantage of the children’s series as a platform to make her big leap.
This is what the actress who played the hateful Libby Chessler in “Sabrina, the Teenage Witch” looks like today
the plot of “Sabrina the Teenage Bubble” told the story of a young witch who lived with her 600-year-old aunts and a talking cat (dear Salem). Although she went to a special academy for witches, Sabrina was forced to interact and live in a world full of deadly humans. And here the adventures of the teenager took place, inspired by a comic that -in reality- was much darker. In fact, the most recent Netflix series (“The Hidden World of Sabrina”) was a bit more in line with the original idea.
Together with Sabrina, we found Harvey -the sorceress’s popular and gallant boyfriend- among the adolescent protagonists. And then there was the unloved Libby Chessler, a cheerleader who not only fell in love with Harvey, but loathed Sabrina. Libby was around for the first three seasons, and then she was sent to boarding school. But those 3 seasons were enough for me to “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” and Libby Chessler will star in a marked feud.
The actress who brought Libby Chessler to life in “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” is Jenna Leigh Green. The actress and singer is currently 48 years old and, after giving life to Libby Chessler, she participated in series such as “ER”, “Bones”, “Gossip Girl”, “NCIS” and the most recent, “Blue Bloods”.
Beyond the enmity in the series, Jenna Leigh Green and Melissa Joan Hart they developed a great friendship after their shared years in “Sabrina the Teenage Witch”. In addition, the actress has shone in Broadway musical productions.
