The Beautiful Life will go on, with or without star Mischa Barton.
Producers of the upcoming CW series The Beautiful Life are reportedly casting a new female character for the series just in case they need to drop troubled actress Mischa Barton from the script.
The 23-year-old actress, who was set to play supermodel Sonja Stone on the show, was placed on involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles last Thursday after reportedly suffering a drug-fueled emotional breakdown.
Multiple sources confirm that producers of the upcoming show are quietly readying a Plan B in case Barton is not able to return to the series. The plan involves the addition of a new female character called Jane to fill the void left by Barton.
Production on The Beautiful Life is scheduled to begin at the end of the month.
