Mischa Barton Comeback Vehicle De-Railed?
Mischa Barton can’t catch a break recently. (But she sure got a lot of ‘em back in the day!)
Production on her new show, Beautiful Life, has been postponed. Execs claim “unfinished sets” are to blame, and not the fact that the chick’s in a mental institution.
EW.com reports that the show’s producers have begun putting a contingency plan in place to replace Barton, should she be unable to return to the show. While not an outright recasting, the new recurring character closely resembles Barton’s original character. Casting is already under way.
Now that’s a tactic – having to share screen time with a character that exists solely to replace you sounds like a good motivator not to go on (alleged) coke binges that make you (demonstrably) mentally unfit. Perhaps if Friends had introduced a new next-door-neighbor named “Handler” in season three Matthew Perry would have gotten clean right then and there instead of alternately doubling and halving his body weight for the next five years.
