Mischa Barton Archives

As some of you may already know, Mischa Barton has recently decided to take the next step in her acting career and has enrolled in acting classes at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in the UK.

Mischa Barton is distraught she has to introduce herself to strangers in her British birth land, because she has one of the most recognisable faces in the US. The O.C. beauty, 20, was born in London and lived there until her family moved to New York City when she was five - and she cannot understand why the UK hasn’t taken her to its heart. She says, "I’m so surprised nobody really knows me in England. "It’s just unbelievable. I have to introduce myself, which I never have to do in the States."

Congrats to her on attending The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art!  Hopefully she’ll be able to blossom into a more refined actress when she finishes up at the school.
