Mischa Barton Explains Why 'The O.C.' Is Still So Iconic

Mischa Barton totally gets "The O.C." love, even 17 years later! The actress tells Access Hollywood's Sibley Scoles why she thinks her beloved 2000s teen soap has found a new audience that’s just as obsessed as the original fans were! When was the last time she watched an episode? And, does she still keep in touch with her castmates? Mischa also dishes on her new movie "Spree" and what makes it such a timely take on social media culture and the ride-sharing experience. "Spree" will be available in theaters, VOD and on digital Aug. 14.

California!!!! When I think about the OC the theme always comes to mind

[@alexm5600]

Such an iconic show. Really glad she's doing and has been doing well! She seems like she's in a really good place.

[@cornelj.]

I absolutely LOVE her, she is beautiful and such a great actress. Love The OC as well, I've watched it so many times I've lost count!!

[@lebusraconte3040]

Mischa is a wonderful actress, a wonderful woman. The O.C. was a formidable TV series. So emotional. So Great. 🍀💐🍀💐💜💕

[@naheedali8035]

I recently rewatched the OC enjoyed the writing and acting of the cast. Great show . Even years after the original release. Still relevant

[@samanthajo5841]

I love her, she definitely has been through a lot of trauma and that’s why she made the choices she made. It’s sad with the social media and exposing those mistakes its unfortunate. I wish her all the bestest :)

[@TheColeTruth]

Love her! She looks great.

🤩 the OC

[@scottmcclary594]

Not gonna lie I liked tayler Townsend more!

[@santacruz3600]

Here’s my idea for an OC reboot… In 2003 my relationship somewhat mimicked Ryan & Marissa’s (but in my case Oliver was played by a young lesbian… but I digress) I was their parents age at the time late 30’s, so there’s no reason the original cast couldn’t have the same relationship drama’s or if they were the parents now the new characters would be their children. Maybe some characters moved to different area’s so it could take place in different locations, maybe life got more difficult for some which could be really meaty story lines, good writing & for actors.

[@hahahahajajajajaj]

SHE WAS A VERY GOOD ACTRESS SHE SHOULD´VE HAVE A BIGGER CAREER, TALK ABOUT MAKING THE RIGTH DECISIONS

[@michaelafuchs3299]

i'm sorry but this was absolutely not the first " tean beach thing"... there is still beverly hills 90210

[@skatedanMonster]

I kinda hate her 'cuz she basically killed Marissa, but also hate the industry for not teaching her how to manners and what should and not do.

[@LinguisticSugar]

Married her than still now

[@Tee19840]

She was giving the production hell when she became a big deal, so nah dun like ya mishcha

Jen why you think they killed her character off?

[@jen7306]

@@Tee19840 She wanted to be killed off. Read things.

[@Tee19840]

Jen exactly my point, she wanted to be killed off. Why? Because she became a big deal and the OC was below her.

[@lindawilliams429]

Trying to be humble. Must be looking for a paycheck.

Or is just humble and has had a hard time in the intensity of Hollywood life. Shut up.

Some of these questions were so surface-level and lame.

Where is Misha? And who’s that flop?

[@jen7306]

No no, who are YOU?

[@meganpearl914]

Christian Ureña I’m sorry who are you?

[@Tee19840]

Belly flop. Why so many mischa warriors? Her character was unlikable, her real life teenage attitude was unlikable. I only liked her hair back in the days, even that was probably hair extensions

[@michaelgrant7322]

@@Tee19840 Your unlikeable... Just from your comments on the internet that's obvious... Also I have no doubt in my mind that you're Ugly Looking Too 👹 which explains your unusual jealous hate directed at Mischa

[@michaelgrant7322]

@b nanas You are right... I AM PROJECTING... projecting on a big screen that your jealousy of Mischa's incredible Fan Base created from the O.C. has you riddled with anger... No doubt because you have No One who even can tolerate your company (and using me as just one example, I can't even tolerate your company on the net) 😂😂😂😂
