Mischa Smiles for Canadian Cameras

Mischa Barton is this month's cover girl for Fasion 18, a Canadian fashion magazine. Here is an excerpt from the article:

Who knew that turtles could turn a girl into a superstar? They sure worked for everyone's favourite new teen star Mischa Barton. In case you've been living under a TV rock, Mischa stars as the beautiful but messed-up Marissa Cooper on TV's latest monster hit The O.C. She may play a Prada-clad princess now, but she was discovered as a gawky 8-year old at summer camp while she was performing a monologue about - no joke - turtles. An agent in the audience detected gold, helped her land a role in an off-Broadway play and-ta-dah!-a career was born.
