AceShowbiz - Best known for her role as Marissa Cooper in the American television series "The O.C.", Mischa Barton braves the challenges to invade the big screen before then secures herself some starring roles in such film projects, as "St. Trinian's", "Virgin Territory", and "Closing the Ring." In between times promoting the latest-mentioned flick, the actress sat down for an interview with Maxim Magazine.
Discussed her venture into the movie business to the magazine's January 2008 issue, Mischa said that "Even if I was a precocious teenager, it's a New York vs. L.A. thing. I never experienced the 'anything goes' chaos we sold on The O.C.," adding her character Marissa "was a nut case. I didn't have much in common with her. In New York I'd want to go out at 15 or 16, but I got it out of my system."
Admitted it was not hard at all for her to let Marissa's stereotype go that it won't affect her roles in her forthcoming movies, Mischa revealed "You have no idea how much fun I had doing that [scene]. I was on the set, yelling, "More blood! More blood!" She needed to go out with a bang."
On appearing nude in films, the beauty said "I don't mind nudity. I just don't do it that often. It depends on the film and if I trust the director and if the context is emotional or just sexual."
Being asked on her feeling of having three big movies coming out this year, she went on saying "I'm happy that I've been working constantly since The O.C., and that my career has been going the way I want it. As an actor, all I wanted was creative freedom - to be able to pick and choose movies. I couldn't be happier."
In further interview, Mischa moreover also recalled on the time she was first discovered, telling Maxim "That's how it happened. I remember going to camp with my older sister, who completely ditched me because she was 16 and I was eight and I was uncool to have around. I ended up doing all these monologues, and it paid off, because some agent came up to my mom and said I should try acting."
