Mischa moves on

Her much-hyped return to TV was a flop, but
Mischa Barton isn’t dwelling on the disappointment. “I’m changing course and what I feel like doing is a
really interesting young woman’s role. I’m keeping my options open!” the
optimistic actress, whose CW series
The Beautiful Life was canceled after
just two episodes last month, told
In Touch about her career at the Whitney Museum Gala in New York on October 19. While Mischa ponders the next step in her professional life, she is keeping busy- with help from her best pals. “I’m
just trying to go to the gym with my girlfriends and have fun!” she added.
The starlet found fame on the teen drama
The O.C., but her character was killed off the series in 2006.
