I hope the title is ok, decided to go with this since it's a very sweet quote made more special coming from someone like Richard Attenborough.

Some new stuff:

Mischa appears at 0:34 and 2:11.

Arriving by Helicopter to Saint-Barthelemy, French West Indies - January 03, 2012.

I actually think the leopard print leggins don't look that bad, they're alright on her. Wierdly, I've seen quite a few people wearing them

~Search4Truth~ · 01-05-2012, 09:13 AM

Thanks for the new thread and the news!

I just noticed something. Mischa must have gotten hair extensions the latter part of S2 because her hair is really short in some of the Trey episodes and then all of a sudden it's really long with a lot of body and wavy towards the end of S2. I don't think anybody's hair can grow that fast.

~tammy~ · 01-05-2012, 09:23 AM

Your welcome

No that would be impossible growth. I'm pretty certain Mischa got extensions, I think she uses them quite often. Bizzarely they work really well for her, you can hardly tell.

baggirl · 01-05-2012, 09:49 AM

Thanks for the new thread! I love the title

WORD! Her extensions look so natural.. especially the one she had on The OC in late S2. I always love the scene of her and Ryan at The Bait shop and her and her Rapunzel hair and they looked so pretty as a couple.

ugh, I for one wish she would retire those pants lol

"You'reMyLittleSnowAngel" · 01-05-2012, 09:55 AM

TFTTNT!

The title's really sweet. Where's the Richard quote from?

~tammy~ · 01-05-2012, 09:56 AM

They aren't my prefered look for her but idk, it works on her more than it does on most people

You realized that now?

Her hair was pretty long at prom, and it was quite short a few episodes before that so yes she must have used extensions

Tftnt!

I found it here: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Attenborough takes on epic Ring

Quote:

Another of the film's stars is Mischa Barton. Lord Attenborough hadn't come across the OC star before.

"I didn't know at that time of Mischa Barton - the OC was not in my life," he says.

"It was only my grandchildren who said: 'Pappy you can get Mischa Barton then you'll really have a smash success picture.' And she's wonderful. She's as beautiful as anybody you could ever wish to meet and she's an exquisite actress."

This is another very nice interview, where he speaks very fondly about Mischa, I'm glad atleast some people realise her talent

baggirl · 01-06-2012, 12:19 PM

I really agree with what he said which was that Mischa has such 'depth of pain' in her performances and is remarkable in her emotional scenes. This was evident in the OC

**chaos blues** · 01-06-2012, 08:36 PM

woah new pics again!

i'm loving this.

and i love the interview. i agree, she does angst so well.

dcfriends · 01-07-2012, 11:27 AM

TFTNT!

The quotes from Richard Attenborough are really lovely and I'm glad that his grandchildren like Mischa

"You'reMyLittleSnowAngel" · 01-10-2012, 08:06 AM

Thanks Tammy for the link and video! That's really sweet.

~tammy~ · 01-10-2012, 09:53 AM

Your welcome

I found some pictures of Mischa and Jamie Dornan from 2007 and apparently they even dated but idk for sure. I just thought it was interesting since he seems to be doing good now with Once Upon a Time and also, to be rather vain, he's so hot. Mischa should get in touch

baggirl · 01-10-2012, 11:29 AM

Oh he's cute! Amazing research, Tammy lol

Mischa looks good!
