Mischa Barton – British/U.S.

The O.C star Mischa Barton is half-American and half-British. Born in Hammersmith, London, she rose to mainstream fame around the early 2000s and is an actress, model, and entrepreneur at present.

With stand-out performances in Starcrossed, opposite Eric Roberts, and Assassination of a High School President, Barton was inevitably a force to be reckoned with during the rise of teenage flicks. She then landed several endorsement deals from famous fashion brands and was named Icon of the Year in the 2000s. Barton appeared in more films such as Notting Hill, American Beach House, and Lost and Delirious. She also made investments in a business, creating products of her own – from headbands to clothing, called Mischa’s Place. Barton is currently a spokesperson for the SAFE campaign, an activist for global warming, and has done her time as an ambassador for the One Water and Save the Children campaigns.
