6. Mischa Barton – Tried To Kill Herself
Mischa Barton is another tragic Disney tale. Back in 2002, the bustling star was the lead in the Disney movie Ring of Endless Light. Looking as if she was going to rocket to stardom, Barton then landed one of the lead roles on the television show The O.C., playing Marissa Cooper. Barton’s talent was undeniable but so was her weakness for the Hollywood party scene. Success came too quick for Barton who got arrested in 2007 for driving under the influence and failing to have a valid driver’s license. She followed that up in 2009 with a trip to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was placed in the psychiatric ward and involuntarily held due to threats she made to kill herself. Barton has since tried to mentally and physically recover and keeps a far lower profile popping up in small film roles these days.
