| Mischa Barton has that classic, all-American beauty about her that makes us all weak in the knees. Her big eyes are so engaging, and her tall, slender frame has caught the attention of more than a few big Hollywood men. Who can blame them... this talented actress got her start as a Ford model. An actress with talent and poise beyond her 21 years, born in London and raised in New York, Mischa Barton has the kind of career most actors can only dream about. From humble beginnings in New York Theater in 1994 where she trained with such esteemed Director/Writers as James Lapine ("Twelve Dreams" at Lincoln Center with Donna Murphy), Tony Kushner ("Slavs!" at New York Theater Workshop with Marissa Tomei), and Naomi Wallace ("One Flea Spare" at the Public Theatre with Dianne Weist)., she went on to work side by side with modern day screen icons including Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, "Notting Hill"., Bruce Willis and Toni Collette "The Sixth Sense" and Sam Rockwell in her Sundance critically lauded feature film debut "Lawn Dogs'. Yet, despite this early success in theater and film what really catapulted Mischa to the next level and made her a household name is her small screen performance as the irrepressible and irresistible Marisa on the popular Fox television show, "The O.C." 2003 to 2006. The show fast become a global cult phenomenon and has earned many awards including a Television Critics Association Award nomination for "Outstanding New Program of the Year." However it was her role as the sexy seductress Kristen Taylor in the 2006 film "The Oh in Ohio" that really brought her to the attention of Delta Films and catapulted her to #2 on the Delta 99. Established as one of the most sought after young actresses of her generation Mischa was named "It Girl" in 2003 by Entertainment Weekly, she was also Hollywood Life's "Breakthrough Actress of the Year"., she won several American Teen Choice Awards for the show, and also Cosmopolitan's "Fun Fearless Female Award" for "Knockout Ingenue" and Glamour's "Women of the Year'. She has been ranked as one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" from 2003 to 2006. Mischa Barton demonstrated her talents once more as she returned to television with a recurring role in the critically acclaimed ABC show Once and Again during its 2001-2002 season. In 2003, she acted with Madeleine Stowe in the horror thriller Octane. What was sure to make her popular was her role in the FOX television show The O.C. In this primetime melodrama geared toward young adults -- a Beverly Hills, 90210 clone as some have branded it -- Mischa Barton portrayed a wealthy and popular Orange County high school student who has difficulty adjusting to her surroundings. She was on the show from 2003-2006. Even at such an early age, Mischa has also made a major impression in the fashion and beauty world. She has already graced the covers of countless international magazines and has become the face of numerous advertising campaigns.
