I was shocked AF when I saw this interview with Misha Barton and would never have recognized her had they not named her.

How do you go from one to another??? And donโ€™t tell me itโ€™s just age. How do you have ever gene pool and somehow mess it up!!

So who is she talking about when she says someone could have been more compassionate to her on the OC. She claims to have had a problem with at least two people behind the scenes.

In the r3 article which I also read today it seems like sheโ€™s in denial about how far her career has descended. She says her manager sends her scripts based on the depth of the charactersโ€ฆ it would probably help if they sent her some good movie scripts regardless of the character otherwise no one will see her work so whatโ€™s the point.

She enjoys being English but I watched a movie of hers I think โ€œtartโ€ and she put on the worst English accent Iโ€™ve heard. Considering her parents are British I was expecting that she could master a decent accent.

All that said, I hate to see young people have the carpet pulled from under them and itโ€™s a shame how she was built up and then pulled down by the mediaโ€ฆ

You must have not been around then. They picked her out of 1000 actors to stalk, harass, and intentionally try to ruin her life and make her into a joke. She was a meme before there were really memes like that. She was a victim. A target.

I remember seeing some interview when she was opening harrods or some place, her pupils looked constricted and she was talking in a strange way with an out of it look on her face, it was sad to see.

After checking IMDb and seeing what sheโ€™s been up to, I was shocked. For her career to have gone the way it did into all those terrible films, was it bankruptcy or other issuesโ€ฆ it canโ€™t be for the depth of the characters and love of the work, surely. Iโ€™ve not seen a b-list actress descend so quickly. Then she seems to think sheโ€™s above reality tv but ended up on the hills, surely even a show like rhbh would have been better than the hills. Now a documentaryโ€ฆ itโ€™s Tara Reid territory.

I feel bad for these starlets, really performing is all theyโ€™ve known, it seems hard to believe they could get normal jobs after all the notoriety. And the business seems more exploitative than ever.

Wasn't her mother one of those crazy stage moms? I grew up watching the OC and I remember the press used to stalk her 24/7, I can't imagine being a teenager and dealing with that. If she's happier being larger than good for her, better that than suicidal and skinny.

Agreed, r32. She was on the verge of death years ago, when she also happened to be thin and hot. She looks healthier and happier. She had a shit childhood. People should cut her some slack.

by Anonymousreply 34June 24, 2021 12:39 AM

I donโ€™t remember her being as bad as Paris and Lindsay but did wonder why after the o.c, all she seemed to get was a cw show when it seemed clear she was hoping to be launched in movies. It seems she never really wanted to be on a show like the o.c. She describes Marisa as a valid party girl. But I thought the point was that Marisa was not so vapid. She really seems to resent that character so I can only guess it has to do with the behind the scene drama.

It reminds me of Karen black saying that day of the locust ruined her reputation in the industry. The film itself was good although not a huge hit but it was the reputation she acquired behind the scenes that seemed to bring her career down a level. I wonder if sheโ€™s saying the stuff going on behind the scenes on the o.c, gave her a bad rep. She seemed destined for movies at one point.

That doesn't surprise me. Rachel's done pretty well since The OC ended. Ben and Adam get more attention now by joining the DCverse.

I wonder if one of them was Tate? He played her dad but also directed a few episodes. Cam Gigandet talked shit about the cast too.

She wasn't, but Marissa was still an asshole. I was glad to see her character go in season 3.

I stopped watching the oc after only a few episodes to me it just seemed more of the same. Iโ€™m about the same age as mischa but I grew up with the original 90210 and Dawsonโ€™s creek, so the oc seemed like a poor relation to those shows by the time it came about.

It gets very repetitive by season 3. They burned through storylines way too quickly. Not surprised it was cancelled soon after Marissa died.

Sheโ€™s fat - which is unacceptable for an actress whose identity was based on being pretty and wispy. Possibly psych drugs. Remember hearing about her going batshit in her back yard and neighbors having to call cops. Either illegal or legal drugs. Never a stunning talent. A shame that she will keep trying to relive her adolescent fame - which is a road to nowhere. She needs to check out of Hollywood and do something meaningful.

If my snitch is right her DOC wasn't coke but meth. Meth has legs that coke doesn't have. Meth makes you skinny much faster than coke ever would. Hence all the psychotic breaks and the ODs and the litany of dubious events that seem to litter her life. Same goes by the way for Britney and Lindsay Lohan.

R54 coke if youโ€™re addicted makes you totally crazy - thereโ€™s a definite โ€œcocaine personalityโ€ Iโ€™m not sure what youโ€™re talking about.

I seriously doubt many actors get into meth simply because of what it does to ones looks. Coke is still the drug of choice.

Does she still have that huge house in Beverly Hills? I remember her having trouble trying to keep that house financially.

She must've made at least $15 million dollars in her heyday and blew through all of it. I wonder how she supports herself now that she doesn't really have much of a career at the moment?

I wonder if she'll except a series on one if these streaming services now to try and jump start her acting career again? It must be hell to go from being an it girl and being that cats meow, to being yesterdays news in Hollywood. Especially being a white woman. That must hurt like hell.

This is why you have to stay focused to make the mist if your moment and make as much money as possible while you can. It's really hard to recapture that once you lose it. She needed a Kris Jenner type business manager to help her keep things moving forward for her.

I can't believe you don't remember what really what went down on the OC

The show became a big hit. These little nobodies thought they we the toast of Hollywood and were going to have gigantic film careers. They all wanted to immediately quit the show, but still had contracts to fulfill.

Then they all became a bunch of angry, resentful little cunts. They actually used to complain all the time, "this show is going to ruin my film career". Misha hung out with pure trash. greasy bear davis and paris hilton. And she had SUCH A SHITTY, SHITTY ATTITUDE. The entire crew hated her and she fucked over the tv show by announcing to the entire world that her character was getting killed off

It never really works out when actors leave a hit television series to go to the movies. Shelly Long anyone? If you're on a hit show, it's best to stick with the show and just do movies when the show goes on hiatus during the summer and build up your movies credits over the years and when the show ends, you'll be ready for movie Stardom hopefully.

Otherwise, you're just being stupid and incompetent about your career and fucking up what could be waiting for you in the future. I'd stay and bank the money from television first.

I think this is just what happens when you do a lot of very thinning drugs like coke and then go off them - weโ€™ve seen this before. Sheโ€™s only 35 - itโ€™s not like sheโ€™s at or anywhere near menopause age / she should otherwise have a great body (plus sheโ€™s looked like this for a while - when she was still on her 20s in fact).

Sheโ€™s also like Kiera Knightley in that sheโ€™s bottom heavy (rare for a tall person) so she always felt she had to compensate - thus her top half always looking this side of emaciated.

by Anonymousreply 70June 28, 2021 2:38 AM

r70, yes, I would add Rose Byrne and Guiliana Rancic to those body types. Rose gets side saddles, and Guilana looks surprisingly healthy from the waist down- she does have a great set of gams.

Mischa was also very resentful of her mother for reaping the rewards of her work (she paid for that BH house), so maybe was subconsciously rebelling by throwing it all away.
