Washington
(ANI):
Brit-American
actress
Mischa
Barton
is
said
to
fear
her
acting
career
might
be
over
after
her
last
project
The
Beautiful
Life
was
cancelled
after
two
episodes.
Barton,
23,
was
devastated
when
her
new
TV
show
was
cancelled,
and
she
now
fears
she
will
never
find
work
again.
"This
show
was
such
an
ego
boost
for
her
at
a
time
when
she
needed
one.
She
has
been
insecure
about
where
her
career
was
going
and
feels
she
may
be
a
has-been
at
23," Contactmusic
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
"She
hasn't
been
overwhelmed
with
offers
since
'The
O.C.' went
off
the
air.
She
needs
to
feel
she's
still
employable.
Right
now,
that's
her
deepest
fear.
That
no
one
will
hire
her
again.
It's
not
true,
but
that's
how
insecure
she
can
get
sometimes,"
the
source
stated.
Bosses
on
The
Beautiful
Life
were
aware
of
how
fragile
Barton
was
feeling,
and
so
asked
her
mother
Nuala
to
break
the
news
the
show
was
over.
"Mischa
fell
into
her
mother's
arms
and
sobbed," the
source
told
Britain's
Star
magazine."
"Nuala
reminded
her
that
there
will
be
other
opportunities
and
it
wasn't
the
end
of
the
world,
but
Mischa
got
mad
and
screamed
how
she
couldn't
understand.
It
was
rough,
apparently.
She
said
it
wasn't
her
fault
they
didn't
promote
the
show
or
keep
it
running
long
enough
so
people
could
discover
it
on
their
own," the
source
added.
