Mischa Barton is Not an American or British
“I haven’t lived here since I was tiny, but my entire family is British and I’ve been raised as a Brit. My sister lives and works in London as a barrister, but nobody can get their head round the fact I’m anything but a Hollywood girl. In the US nobody thinks of me as American, and here, nobody believes I’m British,” Mischa Barton told Daily Mail.
She even told the Daily Mail about when she attempted to lose her British Accent.
“When I lived in New York I tried really hard to ditch the British accent to fit in. I went to classes and everything,” she said. “I ended up putting on this terrible ‘Nu Yawk’ accent and hid behind that for a while. Now I don’t try to hide it so much, but my accent slips all over the place. It’s a mess – I don’t sound like I’m from anywhere any more.”
When I listen to Mischa she sounds like an American, but there is nothing wrong with being an American and a “Brit.” It could be wonderful. You would have two places to call home.

Save the Children
This is off of Mischa Barton’s Website:
“In honor of its 125th anniversary, Bvlgari is teaming up with Save the Children’s Rewrite the Future campaign. The campaign’s primary goal is to provide children in poverty-stricken countries with the opportunity to receive an education and thus a far better future than the one they were looking at prior to Save the Children’s involvement.
Save the Children is an organization I hold dear to my heart. I had the privilege of traveling to Africa as an ambassador and got to see first-hand how invaluable their efforts are towards improving the lives of underprivileged children worldwide. They help to provide kids with proper medical care, nourishment, educational programs, and emergency relief.
Experiencing it first-hand was a real eye-opener as to how fortunate I am, and anything I can do to help promote the cause and thereby assist the children in need is well worth my while.
Bvlgari has created a silver ring and pendant with “Save the Children” engraved on the inside and all of the proceeds will go to the campaign. Their goal is to raise 10 million euros by the end of 2009. I am wearing the ring in the photo above, which I took for the campaign along with a number of other celebrities

Mischa, what’s wrong with just being an American girl born in England? I mean, Sienna Miller is an English girl born in the US. Nicole Kidman is an Aussie actress born in Hawaii.
