Mischa Barton (born 24 January 1986) is an English-American fashion model, film, television, and stage actress, best known for her role as Marissa Cooper in the American television series The O.C..
She began acting at the age of eight, co-starring in the Off Broadway premiere of Slavs!, written by Tony Kushner. Mischa appeared in several other Off Broadway productions, taking a lead role in James Lapine’s Twelve Dreams at Lincoln Center. She made her film debut in Lawn Dogs, which won awards at film festivals around the world. Since then, Mischa has appeared in several films, such as The Sixth Sense, Notting Hill, St Trinians, and Closing the Ring. In St Trinians, she appeared as a former head girl of that school advising current senior pupils on fashion and style.
She first appeared on television in 1996, as young Lily Montgomery in the soap opera All My Children, and in a modern re-make of Bonnie and Clyde. Mischa guest-starred in eight episodes of the television series Once and Again as Jessie Sammler’s (Evan Rachel Wood’s) girlfriend, Katie Singer. Other television appearances include an episode of the Fox series Fastlane, James Blunt’s music video “Goodbye My Lover”, and Enrique Iglesias’ music video “Addicted”.
Mischa has been in many television commercials and print advertising campaigns. Barton has modeled for companies Calvin Klein, bebe stores, Aéropostale, Monsoon Accessorize, Dooney & Bourke, JC (Jeans and Clothes), European clothing line Morgan de Toi, Jaspal, and Neutrogena skincare products.
Mischa became the spokesperson for Keds Sneakers, substantially increasing their sales. In Australia, she appears in commercials for teen magazine Famous and was the guest of honour at retail giant David Jones Tahitian Summer Collection launch. Mischa has also endorsed Chanel jewelry, appearing at a number of events for the brand. In a 2005 interview, Mischa stated that she liked the Chanel brand because they produced a large number of clip-on earrings suitable for women who did not have pierced ears, as she did not at the time. In 2009, having had her ears pierced especially for her role in The Beautiful Life, she modelled jewelry for the company Inspired Creations, including pierced earrings and their Waxing Poetic range of charms.
