Mischa Barton plays pregnant prostitute in US cop show
Mischa Barton guest-starred in a US cop show and played a pregnant prostitute whose on-screen traumas made her real-life troubles pale into insignificance.
The actress, who has had a string of well-documented personal problems, appeared in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
In her dramatic debut episode her hooker character Sunshine survived an attack by a serial killer, was kicked out of her home, suffered a seizure and gave birth four months premature.
She was arrested, forcing her to leave her sick baby in hospital while she was dragged off to court to identify her attacker.
The episode ended with Sunshine running away and handing over all legal rights to her critically-ill daughter to one of the cops.
Mischa was infamously arrested for DUI and drug possession in December 2007.
She was hospitalised under a reported involuntary psychiatric hold last summer, admitting she had “hit rock bottom”.
But later she insisted she was on the road to recovery and felt “really in control”.
