Mischa Barton: From OC Star to Noir Femme Fatale

Mischa Barton, who gained global fame as Marissa Cooper in 'The OC', is now starring as a femme fatale in the stage adaptation of 'Double Indemnity'. This role marks a significant departure from the characters she was previously offered.

Barton recently shared on the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast that she experienced a period of significant recklessness in her early twenties, contemplating if she would join the '27 club'. She is now 40 and her life is described as being back on the 'straight and narrow'.

Born in West London to an English father and Irish mother, Barton identifies with British humor and has a preference for tea, stating it reflects her loyalties. Despite her global fame as a teen, she felt far removed from her 'OC' character, Marissa.
