What
many
people
don’t
know
is
that
Hart’s
mom,
Paula
Hart,
was
actually
the
person
responsible
for
getting
a
Sabrina
TV
series
going
after
someone
gave
her
the
comic
book
on
a
playground.
“She
took
it
to
Viacom,
made
the
1996
movie,
and
kept
saying
this
would
be
a
great
TV
show.
[Executives]
kept
going, ‘Okay,
whatever,
whatever,'”
Hart
told
Glamour
in
2020. “She
went
to
the
editing
room
for
the
movie
and
cut
together
a
five-minute
trailer
for
a
TV
show,
took
it
to
the
networks,
and
sold
it
to
ABC
on
the
spot.
In
the
TGIF
time
slot!”
Paula
would
serve
as
an
executive
producer
on
all
seven
seasons, “hiring
and
firing,
involved
with
the
music,
the
editing—the
entire
aspect
of
it,”
Hart
explained. “I
didn’t
have
to
worry
about
the
next
thing,
because
she
was
in
charge
of
the
next
thing.”

In
the
1996
TV
movie, Charlene
Fernetz
and
Sherry
Miller
played
Sabrina’s
aunts
Zelda
and
Hilda,
respectively.
But
when
it
became
a
TV
series,
Beth
Broderick
and
Caroline
Rhea
replaced
Fernetz
and
Miller
as
Zelda
and
Hilda
Spellman.

Oh,
and
the
family’s
last
name
in
the
film
was
Sawyer,
but
reverted
back
to
the
original
last
name,
Spellman,
from
the
comics
for
the
ABC
series.
