[CDAN] This former B+ television actress from a very hit series on this almost network was spending time with rich guys for money but they have started to disappear from her life because of her continued dr*g use. Her money is gone and now she has been reduced to charging by the hour and even ran an ad on Backpage.

Sadly I’m thinking Mischa Barton
Me too.
Shannen Doherty
I do not think it’s Shannen Doherty. She just got married to Kurt Iswarienko in 2011,and plus she has money from Charmed. Plus she has a movie coming out in 2012 title Gretl: Witch Hunter,and a reality series title “Shannen says”
I like your guess. I see her now in those go-to-college-at-home-in-your-pajamas commercials and think “What HAPPENED to you?!”
Mischa Barton
Sounds like Mischa.
Mischa Barton?
Mischa Barton.
Shannen Doherty.
Eliza Dushku
I would love for this to be Heidi Montag but my official guess is Mischa Barton.
Mischa Barton? Or is Fox considered a real network now? As in not “almost” network?
And I don’t mean that as a knock to Fox — I just am old enough to remember when Fox was really low budget and not even considered an “almost” network… more like a non-network!
I remember this too, Cindy, and I can’t bring myself to think of Fox as a “real” network. But I think this is CDAN codespeak for the CW & Barton would fit.
I don’t think FOX is on par with the top 3, but is definitely 4th and not an almost network any longer, like the CW.
Mischa?
blake lively
Misha Barton?
poor misha barrton
There was a very similar blind a few months ago and it sounded like the actress was from Ally McBeal. So not Calista, Portia, Jane, Courtney or Lucy, which leaves… er, what was the African-American roommate’s name? Lisa Nicole Carson.
Your guess made me Google Lisa Nicole Carson…wow. Drug use combined with mental health issues. Her family institutionalized her. Here’s the story: http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2009/08/what-happened-to-lisa-nicole-carson/
P.S. She definitely has the, um, assets for a Backpage ad and as CindyB pointed out above, age might be the main criterion for whether Fox is considered a network or an almost-network. If CDAN is the same age and CindyB and me, then yeah, he might consider Fox still only a network wannabe (also, maybe Fox isn’t carried so widely in Canada, so it might look like less of a network than it does here).
Even though this makes me go “ewww”…Mischa Barton?
Mischa? (why would she lose johns due to drug use? I would think that would be a ‘plus’ – adding more fun to the party)
The woman in question is probably starting or is well on her way to looking used up. Not very appealing to men with money that can buy any type of beautiful woman that sells herself.
She may also be so focused on the drugs that she can’t go for a long time without them so many breaks are taken, her natural personality is masked so that she’s not enjoyable to be around for long, her skill level has decreased considerably because she’s under the influence while spending time with her johns and/or other elements are at play that make her worth much less than she once was.
Definitely NOT Mischa Barton! She is not that low.
According to IMDB Mischa has:
A TV movie this year in the can.
Another film in post.
One filming now.
Another for next year.
Like the Shannon Doherty guess.
She has nothing coming up to film on her page.
The OC was on an actual network– FOX. My thought was Shannon Doherty who I saw on a random commercial for a nursing school the other day.
Beverly Hills, 90210 (remember that?) was on Fox. And it’s not her.
Also, what is Backpage? I am scared to go there lol.
Backpage is the last pages of like the free weekly bigger ciy papers like the Stranger here in Seattle where they post “escort” ads.
It’s like a craigslist. BTW, at least 3 women have turned up dead in Detroit after advertising on Backpage.
Taylor Momsen (sp?)
I think I read once that Mischa Barton comes from a pretty wealthy family. there was a house I can see from my back yard that is a literal mansion and a realtor friend told me her parents owned it and she lived there as well.
would her family let her sink this low?
I could be wrong, but I remember reading that she supported them.
Mischa is not a B+ actress and never was, Seriously?!
No way on the Mischa Barton guess. As someone else mentioned – well off family and her sis is a lawyer in the UK and I heard she has some sort of germ phobia or something – which would nix the paid s*x thing.
Ditto on Shannon Doherty – just doesn’t fit from what I’ve read about her. She has major attitude and I doubt she would let men use her in that way. Plus I’ve never heard she had such a problem with drugs as to be uncontrollable.
This is someone who is literally down in the dumps. Lisa Nicole Carson is a good guess. Also, Topher’s character’s sister on that 70s show is a GREAT guess if that show was on an “almost network” (never watched so don’t know).
And let’s not forget Pam Anderson who seems so desperate lately. Was Baywatch on an “almost network”?
Tara Reid, her last gig was Celebrity Big Brother 2011 in UK. She is looking pretty rough lately, just like a drug addicted would.
Wouldn’t “Almost network” apply to either the UPN or WB networks? (now merged into the still ‘almost’ network — CW?)
Just curious. I have no clue though.
Yasmine Bleeth from Baywatch?
It’s not Mischa Barton, she has 3 films in the can, and 1 in production now, not sounding like someone out of money. Tara Reid does not fit because as best as I can tell, she was not a regular on a hit series, unless you consider 11 appearances on Scrubs enough to qualify as a “B+ actress on a very hit series.”
