Interesting and kind of mean sounding towards Mischa, they could've worded it way better.

Quote:

Olivia Wilde was nearly Marissa.

Marissa, with her perfect side-bangs and prominent collarbone, was destined to be Ryan’s star-crossed lover from their first encounter in the Cohens' driveway, and their teen romance, though complicated and ultimately tragic, was beautiful. Casting for the female lead was down to Olivia Wilde and Barton, but given the vulnerability of the character, Schwartz decided that Wilde was too empowered to play the broken girl next door. "Olivia Wilde needed no saving," he said.

Savage was a real proponent of Ryan and Marissa's ill-fated romance from the jump. She was a Marissa sympathizer.

"Marissa was so beautiful that she was embarrassed by it," Savage said, recalling the moment she, like Ryan, became enamored with the heartbreaking beautiful girl in the pilot episode. "It evoked so much about this girl and being beautiful at that age. There was more to her than that."
