QUICK TAKES - July 18, 2009
Mischa Barton remained hospitalized Friday, two days after Los Angeles police said they escorted her from her home with an undisclosed medical problem.
Her publicist, Craig Schneider, said the 23-year-old actress remained in the hospital under doctor’s orders.
Police said they removed Barton from her home on Wednesday afternoon for a medical problem. The department would not say what it was, nor would Schneider.
The actress rose to fame as a star on Fox’s teen drama “The O.C.” She was arrested in December 2007 and later pleaded no contest to a drunken driving charge.
