Mischa Barton burst onto the scene as a young actress, immersed in a sea of promise. At only 8 years old, Barton starred in many highly regarded Off-Broadway plays including esteemed writer Tony Kushner's Slavs! and James Lapine's Twelve Dreams, before wowing audiences in the critically acclaimed indie film Lawn Dogs, and holding her own opposite Hollywood heavyweights Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant in Notting Hill, and Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. But it wasn't until Barton landed the role as Marissa Cooper on FOX's global hit The O.C. that she achieved household-name status. Barton's fame skyrocketed, with Entertainment Weekly proclaiming her their "It Girl" for 2003. Then, something terrible happened. Marissa Cooper was killed off and Barton's ensuing attempt at a film career has largely fallen flat. Films like Closing the Ring, Virgin Territory and Walled-In have been straight to DVD clunkers, and a slew of films waiting to be released will most likely fade away into irrelevance. Barton's final shot at success may be on Ashton Kutcher's series The Beautiful Life -- about a group of models living in New York -- on which production has been halted due to Barton's recent struggles. Now, if only she can get out of that straight jacket.
