You’ll Be Amazed: The Before and After of Celebrities Who Changed Too Much

Mischa Barton – Drink

Mischa Barton, at 39 years old, rose to fame in The O.C., but in 2025 her appearance reflects the effects of alcohol abuse. Arrested for drunk driving in 2007, her last major appearance was in The Beautiful Life (2009). Years of excess have aged her beyond her actual age.

Despite initial success, Mischa hasn’t maintained a high-profile career. There are signs of attempts to rebound, but without significant impact. Her credit as an actress persists in the memory of fans, but personal problems have kept her away from stardom. One can only hope that she finds balance and recovers some of her former glory, away from negative headlines.
