Mischa Barton makes dash for set in New York
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
Having thrown herself back into work, Mischa Barton was caught on the downtown set of The Beautiful Life with hair wet and a cigarette dangling from her mouth.
The actress, who has rushed back to New York to start work on the CW series after hospitalisation in Los Angeles, appeared healthy and intent on making it onto the set in time, however.
Barton, who bounced back from psychiatric treatment, is under some scrutiny as she struggles to get her career back on track. She has aroused the concern of some friends who think she is pushing herself too hard – and straight back to another breakdown.
A source said: “The fact she was out right away proves she’s not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big ‘f*** you.’ She’s too proud and independent sometimes.”
Suzanne Coppin, a friend, said: “I’m disappointed she’s not taking advice, and doing her own thing.”
