[15] She appeared in several other Off-Broadway productions, taking a lead role in James Lapine's Twelve Dreams alongside Marisa Tomei at Lincoln Center. Canby again praised Barton, noting that she "has a sweet gravity as the doomed Emma". [13] In 1996 Barton had a supporting role in Catherine Butterfield's Where the Truth Lies which opened at New York's Irish Repertory Theatre. The New York Times also remarked that "the winning child actresses Brittany Boyd and Mischa Barton are already smart enough not to overplay the naivete and precocity of their respective characters." [16] In 1997, she appeared alongside Dianne Wiest at The Public Theater in Naomi Wallace's One Flea Spare . [17] The New York production went on to win the Obie Award for Best Play.

In May 2012, Barton discussed her recent preference for the horror genre, following roles in Homecoming, Apartment 1303 and Sibling "I literally became obsessed with that genre. I can't tell you. Because I never watched it when I was younger; it used to be way too terrifying for me." However Barton added that, "I think I've gone through my little phase, for the moment." [43] In June, Barton appeared in Noel Gallagher's music video for Everybody's on the Run . [44] In July 2012, Barton made her stage return in an Irish production of Steel Magnolias , playing Shelby.

In 2012, Barton opened a short-lived clothes boutique in Spitafields, London, later revealing “Retail is not exactly a cakewalk, so just taking care of the store and dealing with production, quality and employees. Just the whole thing became overwhelming and beyond expensive.” [82] [83]

[84] She was previously in long-term relationships with the oil heir Brandon Davis, musician Cisco Adler, and the Australian model James Abercrombie.

The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz later said that "Mischa was one of the young women stalked by photographers and treated unkindly by online bloggers. Fame hit in a certain way that would have been very hard for anyone to predict". [91] Barton wrote in Harper's Bazaar in 2021 that she felt that she had been "sexualised" in her earlier film roles, even becoming a "strange sex symbol" at 13 in Asia where her movie Pups garnered significant attention.
