9. Mischa Barton
While Mischa Barton has taken a bit of a step back from Hollywood lately, in the early 2000s when she was starring in The O.C. as troubled rich girl Marissa Cooper, absolutely everyone was obsessed with the young starlet. She seemed to have come out of nowhere despite several small roles in strong films such as The Sixth Sense. However, Mischa was already comfortable in front of the camera thanks to her childhood modeling career – although she wasn’t the energetic ham that many child models were. Photographer Jade Albert, who worked with Mischa as a child, has stated that the future starlet “was a little reserved. She was a little bit, at the time, more introverted. But she took direction extremely well.”
