Actor like character?
Marissa Cooper was played by Mischa Barton. A child star who started acting way back in 1997, she has been in the Hollywood spotlight for what seems like an eternity.
Has she even aged?
Following The OC, she hit a bit of a rough patch, partying with the wrong crowd and acting a lot like her character of Marissa. DUIs, drug issues and a stint in rehab; the future didn’t look very promising for the young actress.

But after receiving help, her life is back on track and now, in 2018, she’s healthy and was recently a contestant on Dancing With The Stars.
3) Rachel Bilson
Remember Marissa’s best friend Summer Roberts? Funny and with the best interests at heart, she grew up immensely throughout the show – from party animal to activist, she really did go through it all.
