Marissa Cooper Help Mischa With Her Acting

Mischa Barton doesn’t regret being on the show “The O.C.” She believes that taking on the role of Marissa Copper has helped her acting ability, according to www.femalefirst.co.uk.
“Marissa was a multitude of people, and that opened me up as an actor — even though it was hard for me at the time to handle that character. But it worked out in the end because I got to do so many emotionally gutsy thing,” she told Female First, “They originally wanted to play Marissa as a valley girl — a dumb blond airhead. but I was against that.”
I can understand why she would not like her character to be that way. A lot of blonds do get stuck with that stereo type, and it is hard to get away from that image.
