This article is about my favourite show The OC and my favourite actress on the show Mischa Barton as Marissa Cooper.
She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Best grades, social chair, cheer leader, the most captivating jock boyfriend, her life was perfect. She was a diva, drop dead gorgeous, referred to as ‘cosmo girl’ only because she was hypnotic. And when Ryan Atwood, a convict and a poor kid from Chino entered her life, everything changed. Her dad became broke and her parents got divorced. Her mom slept with her boyfriend, and she saw herself falling in love with Ryan. She intoxicated herself, with alcohol, drugs and started moving away from what her life was.
However she was still the best friend, best girlfriend and more often than not best daughter to a father she loved very much.

When she and Ryan finally broke up, she intoxicated herself even more, drowned her issues in alcohol but still all she wanted was to see him happy, whether he was with her or not.
And finally, after everything she went through, she died in an accident on the day she was leaving town for good to go and work with her dad. She died in Ryan’s arms.. “You were the first person I met when I got here, I wanted to be the last one to say goodbye” – Ryan. and he was..
