London: Television star Mischa Barton has dreams of being a respected actress like Cate Blanchett. According to contactmu-sic.com, Barton has been eager to prove her acting abilities on the big screen. She also hopes to have a long and diverse career like the Oscar winning Blanchett. She said: “I have plenty (of actresses) that I admire, and Cate Blanchett is one of them.”Barton also mentioned her love for the new hippie vibe in fashion to a Hong Kong magazine. Barton's rich party girl character on The OC, Marissa Cooper, was recently killed off in a car accident in the TV show. The 20-year-old actress told Prestige Hong Kong magazine that her latest project was a film called Closing The Ring, directed by Richard Attenborough and also starring Christopher Plummer and Neve Campbell. She said she liked a new hippie-inspired fashion trend in Los Angeles. “The idea of doing beautiful sun dresses and flat sandals and lots of layers of jewelry and accessories,” she reportedly said. “I am not big into the beachwear, sweat-suit look. That is not really my vibe.”
