Mischa Barton was named Entertainment Weekly’s Number 1 IT girl in 2003. Her role as Marissa on The O.C won the hearts and minds of millions of people for three seasons, making it one of the most popular shows at the time.

Unfortunately, she was fired at the end of the show’s third season for constant erratic behavior and legal problems. News travels fast in Hollywood and she was quickly blacklisted from future projects. The show never recovered from her loss and was canceled the following year.
