Don’t you worry about little old Mischa Barton – life goes on for the young actress after “The O.C.” Mischa Barton graces the cover of Maxim magazine and dishes on her “O.C.” character Marissa and what is next on her plate.

On Marissa: “Marissa was a nut case. I didn’t have much in common with her. In New York I’d want to go out at 15 or 16, but I got it out of my system.” More about Mischa’s interview and Maxim cover picture after the jump.

On Marissa’s being killed off: “You have no idea how much fun I had doing that [scene]. I was on the set, yelling, “More blood! More blood!” … She needed to go out with a bang.”

Mischa Barton can next be seen in the films “St. Trinian’s,” “Virgin Territory,” and “Closing the Ring.”
