Mischa Barton Options

Mischa Barton was born on January 22, 1986 in London, England. She is the middle sister in her family of five. She has an older sister Zoe and a younger sister Hania. Because of her father's job as a Stock Broker, they moved often. She lived in France, Germany, Switzerland and England before she even turned the age of four. When she was five her father decided to take a job in New York and they've been there ever since.

When Mischa was eight she attended a summer camp where she took a writing course. She wrote a monologue and performed it at the end of the camp for all of the parents. That was the best thing to happen to Mischa, while she was performing an agent came up to her mom and suggested that she should audition for theater because she had good stage presence. When she returned to New York, she auditioned for and landed a lead role as a young girl named Emma in Slavs. The play was a big hit and Mischa soon began acting in New York as a child actress. When Mischa was 11 she landed a leading role in the independent film Lawn Dogs. After that she was offered a role as the sick child in The Sixth Sense. Though her role was small she was a memorable character and that movie gave her career a huge push. The film was a hit and she accepted a role in the movie Notting Hill and on television's Once and Again.

Determined to continue acting Mischa accelerated her studies and earned a high school diploma at the age of 15. By then she was happy with the balance she had achieved between school and a career. She was beginning to think of where she would go to college when her agent contacted her about a show called The O.C. Mischa jumped at the chance to audition and as you know she landed the part. Unlike her other castmates who live in L.A., she shares a small rented house with her mom while the show shoots. The rest of her family still lives in New York except for Zoe, who is a trial lawyer in London. Mischa knows that one day she will go to college but for now she concentrates her energy onto the show that has made her a star.

All i can say is ELLE INTERVIEW ...

When I ask what kind of fan mail she receives, Barton says, �€œIt's fascinating the stories you'll get.�€� For example? In a weary, singsong voice, she says, �€œLike, 'I was in the war and my leg got cut off and I'm in the hospital. I'll never walk again, but all I can do is lie in bed and watch your TV show.' It's just�€”stuff you get.�€� She shrugs and takes another bite of swordfish. I ask if that letter came from a soldier in Iraq, and she says, �€œI don't remember. But that one was big on the list of, like, heart-wrenching stories. Are you joking? The O.C.? Surely there are more important things in life than my stupid show. But, like, okay, if you feel that way. I'm like, that's�€��€”she chuckles and rolls her eyes�€”�€œnice.�€�

A couple of hours later we're at the nightclub the Troubadour, where a middle-aged blond enthusiastically chats up Barton. At the end of the evening, I ask what the woman said. �€œShe knew an actress who had a small part in one episode. She said she was this person's next-door neighbor, and isn't she a great actress. And I said, 'Yes, yes,' to be polite. That's the thing about Hollywood,�€� Barton says, shifting on her three-inch heels and pulling up the right shoulder of her black minidress, which has been falling down all night. �€œEverybody knows someone. Or at least someone's sister's best friend's husband. Sweet, but painful.�€�
