Mischa's Got Class

Maybe getting written out of "The O.C." was a hint?

Mischa Barton's character on the FOX series was killed off in the season finale and she's using her newfound time off to brush up on those acting chops.

Taking a break from the LA and NY club scene, the underage thespian has enrolled in acting classes at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

With four feature films coming out, it looks like Barton realized not all her roles would be as easy - and as true to life - as playing a spoiled California teen.

4. Didn't she ask to be killed off so she could do more movies? Smart move since the show is probably going to be ending soon.

6. I have never missed an episode of The O.C. It will be very different without Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton).
One of the things bothering me is now it's on at the same time as Grey's Anatomy. Another favorite of mine. I'll have to tape I guess.
Good for Mischa taking classes! I'll be watching for her movies.

7. eh. don't really care that much. the O.C. was/is a crappy show. maybe it's good she bailed early.

8.
This young lady is so classic, the girl nest door look casual and I am sure can be the stop in stop light at any formal function. I-- oops---have no clue who she is, but why not wish someone the best in what ever field they are in---I know I wish my dentist the best--(best in his field).

I would bet with polishing on her acting skills as you who know her suggest, she will in the future be a name demanding and getting top dollar---don't forget acting is an art form--and each artist deserves a chance.

Plus its not anyone I know so can't make judgements of their future abilities.

12. Maybe she is finally getting a 'sixth sense' about her acting abilities.

13. Hey, Pearl,

Isn't youth supposed to be spent on the things that are frivolous so you can spend the rest of your life suffering through the things that demand attention? Sounds to me like someone on here might be upset that she's pale, gray, too-deep, too-chaste, too bitter about her place in life and too angry that her bum would never slip into a pair of A&F or Hollister jeans.

No one here knows Ms. Barton so we should be wishing her the best instead of being overly negative about what she can or cannot do. After all, she's the one earning real money while we're busy questioning HER talents instead of our own.

14. It's about bleaping time, she can't act for crap, and how she lasted that long still amazes me!!

15. Actually Kiriakis I'm 16 and probably in way better shape than you will ever be but I have been raised to lead a healthy lifestyle I love to make fun of cheap, slutty, american girls who all want to be the next lindsey lohan, can you say white trash? And just so you know my butt looks best in Gucci jeans which you probably cannot afford.
