Mischa Anne
Marsden Barton (born January 24, 1986) is an
English-born American actress and fashion model, best
known in her role as Marissa Cooper on the popular Fox
television teen drama series The O.C..
Biography: Born in Hammersmith, London, England,
to an English father - Paul Marsden Barton, and an Irish
mother, Nuala Quinn. Mischa moved to New York City at
the age of four and was naturalized as a citizen of the
United States in Los Angeles on February 3, 2006. She
has an older sister, Zoe Barton, a London Barrister, and
a younger sister, Hania Barton, currently a student in
Los Angeles. Barton graduated from the Professional
Children's School in Manhattan in 2004, and attended a
summer school in Shakespearean acting at RADA in summer
2006.
Personal life: Barton recently split with her
boyfriend Cisco Adler, vocalist of rock band Whitestarr,
supposedly after naked pictures of him leaked onto the
Internet. She also dated oil heir Brandon Davis.
Career: Barton began her acting career at the age
of nine in New York Theatre with a lead role in Slavs!,
written by Tony Kushner. She took part in many Broadway
plays, 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 she has appeared in several films,
including The Sixth Sense, Notting Hill, and Lost and
Delirious, in which she starred. During this early
period she was also featured in numerous television
commercials and print advertising campaigns. She has
been represented then and to the present day by long
time friend and mentor Ivan Bart of IMG Models New York.
Barton first appeared on television in 1996, as a
younger Lily Montgomery in All My Children. Two years
later she starred in the film Pups a modern re-make of
Bonnie and Clyde. She also had a one-time appearance in
the FOX show Fastlane, and appeared in music videos for
Goodbye My Lover by James Blunt and the Enrique Iglesias
video, Addicted. She played in eight episodes on the
television show Once and Again as Katie Singer, Jessie
Sammler's (Evan Rachel Wood's) girlfriend.
By August 2003 she had become a household name due to a
lead role on the television show The O.C., produced by
McG. Barton played Marissa Cooper, a beautiful and
popular teenager of Newport Beach, California. The story
revolved around her relationships with on/off boyfriend
Ryan Atwood, her mother Julie Cooper, and her friends
and acquaintances of Newport. Barton's role lasted three
seasons.
Following her departure from The O.C., she completed
three films awaiting release in 2007. Lord Richard
Attenboroughs' Closing the Ring alongside Shirley
Maclaine and Brenda Fricker, the Dino de Laurentiis
Production Virgin Territory and an independent feature
Don't Fade Away. She will next work on the feature films
Radio-Active by Ash Baron-Cohen, Walled In to be
directed by Sylvain White and Malice in Sunderland.
Endorsements: Barton has modeled for Calvin Klein
and appeared in advertisements for Aéropostale, Monsoon
Accessorize, Dooney & Bourke, JC (Jeans and
Clothes), Morgan de Toi, Jaspal, Neutrogena skincare
products, and Bebe. She has more recently become the
spokesperson for Keds Sneakers, substantially increasing
sales. In Australia, she appears in commercials for
gossip magazine Famous and was the guest of honor at
retail giant David Jones Tahitian Summer Collection
launch.
Hailed as one of the most talented child actors of the
1990s, Mischa Barton had carved out the beginnings of an
enviable career on the screen and stage by the time most
kids her age were being allowed to see PG-13 movies on
their own. Possessing blonde hair, blue eyes the color
and approximate size of Wedgewood saucers, and
precocious intelligence, Barton first came to the
attention of critics and audiences as the ten-year-old
heroine of John Duigan's Lawn Dogs (1997), a drama that
cast her as an alienated girl whose friendship with an
earthy lawn boy (Sam Rockwell) creates controversy in
her exclusive neighborhood. Born January 24, 1986, in
London, England, Barton was raised in the city until the
age of four, when her father took a job on Wall Street
that relocated the family to New York.
Following the move, she began working as a child model
and taking summer camp acting classes; after being
spotted by a talent agent, the aspiring actress got her
first professional break on the New York stage in 1994,
when she played Vodya Domik, one of the lead characters
in an off-Broadway production of Tony Kushner's Slavs!
Earning rave reviews for her performance, Barton went on
to perform in a number of plays, including the Lincoln
Center production of James Lapine's Twelve Dreams and
Naomi Wallace's One Flea Spare at the New York
Shakespeare Festival's Public Theatre, which cast her in
the lead role of a street urchin opposite Dianne Wiest.
While she was building a career on the stage and as a
model for the likes of Calvin Klein, Barton was also
beginning to accumulate a number of screen credits.
After doing a year-long stint on the popular soap opera
All My Children, she had her first publicized screen
role in the little-seen New York Crossing (1996), in
which she starred as an Upper East Side schoolgirl
opposite Tina Majorino and Karen Black. The film was
released in 1997, the same year that Lawn Dogs came out
to fairly strong reviews that resulted in the first
shades of publicity for Barton.
A starring role as a 13-year-old who holds up a bank
alongside her boyfriend followed in 1999, in the
independent drama Pups; unfortunately, the film was
released only two days before the tragic killing spree
at Columbine High School, and unsurprisingly, failed to
earn much in the way of distribution. That same year,
Barton appeared in supporting roles in both Notting Hill
and M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense, the latter of
which cast her as the ghost of a sickly girl.
Barton's increasing recognition was subsequently
reflected by her involvement in a number of screen
projects. Included amongst them was Skipped Parts
(2000), a coming-of-age comedy which cast her as a
sexually precocious 14-year-old who is in a hurry to
lose her virginity. The film also starred Jennifer Jason
Leigh, Brad Renfro, and Drew Barrymore.
