Former teen star
Melissa Joan Hart considered baring all in a shoot for men's magazine
Playboy during her heyday in TV hit "Sabrina the Teenage Witch."
The actress was desperate to shed the good girl image she earned though roles in kids TV hits Sabrina and "Clarissa Explains It All," and came close to accepting Playboy boss Hugh Hefner's $1 million offer.
She tells NYPost.com, "They came around and offered me a million dollars, which I had to seriously consider. Initially it's like, 'Yeah, I'll take my clothes off for a million bucks, are you kidding?' It's the big question: What will you do for a million dollars?"
Hart, now a 33-year-old mother-of-two, turned down Hefner, but agreed to strip to her underwear for
Maxim.
But she soon regretted her decision when she saw the humiliation it caused for one of her younger brothers.
Explaining her decision, she says, "I was 23-years-old ... and I went through a time where I was a little wild. I actually showed up at the photoshoot from The Playboy Mansion, so it was like, 'Oh big deal -- bra and panties, that's what I saw everybody in all night.' I had no idea how big that was going to be. (From that experience) I learned that I didn't want to do Playboy. But I decided that because of the reaction I got from Maxim I wasn't comfortable -- and my brother had that cover shoved in his face for months. That made me say no."
