Best known for her role as Marissa Cooper in the American television series The O.C., Mischa Barton is set to invade the big screen in 2008 with three major productions such as St. Trinian’s, Virgin Territory and Closing the Ring. Until then, Mischa sat down for an interview with Maxim Magazine to discuss her venture into the movie business to the magazine’s January 2008 issue (on newsstands December 18).

On starring on the big screen:”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. 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.”"

On appearing nude in films “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.”

On being discovered while performing a monologue about turtles at summer camp:”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.”
