Mischa Barton Is 'Grateful to Be Settled Right Now'

Since the cancellation of her CWTV series The Beautiful Life in 2009, Mischa Barton has been laying low. The former O.C. actress has been concentrating on staying healthy, as she revealed at the recent Reality Rocks Expo in Los Angeles.

In an interview with Zap2it, Barton explained that ...
 she's not in any rush to return to the small screen: "TV is not something that I'm looking at right now for a second, just because I'm really at a restful place in my life. I'm really just taking my downtime. I've seen a lot of other girls who just kept going and kind of spazzed out and I'm just really grateful to be settled right now and not working and not doing anything but working on myself."
"I just feel really blessed with a convergence of really good things going on right now so I'm not in a rush to do a project. I think television is grueling and this year there's been such an uproar with like the Charlie Sheens of actors—well, I think he's amazing—but I just think it's not the time for me to be on television. I'll just wait a second on it, but I do like TV."
In the meantime, Barton stays busy designing for her UK-only handbag line. According to IMDB, she also has roles lined up in films like The Sibling and Into the Darkness
