Mischa Barton has admitted she doesn't like being like being remembered for The OC.
Barton played Marissa Cooper in the hit show from 2003 to 2006. Her character was killed off in the third season finale, before the show ended in 2007.
Speaking to TV Extra, the 28-year-old said: "It makes me really happy that the show had such a cultural impact.
"It made me internationally famous - there's literally nowhere in the world I can go where people haven't seen it."
When asked if it bothered her that she was still remembered for the role 11 years after the show started, she replied: "Yes [it annoys me], but what are you gonna do?'
She added: "There's just so much more to the work I've done."
Barton recently opened up about her breakdown after finding international fame on the Fox show.
The actress was involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric ward in 2009 after blacking out under the influence of a sedative and threatening to kill herself.
"It was always, 'She's too skinny, she must be sick'. Then it was, 'She's too big'. I was never the right weight," she said.
