Mischa Barton To Join Desperate Housewives?

Mischa Barton is being lined up for a role in Desperate Housewives ? despite apparently quitting The OC to concentrate on making movies.

The stunning star?s character Marissa was killed off at the end of The OC?s third season this year, with Barton reportedly deciding it was time to time to lift her career onto the next level ? a move which angered the show?s many fans.

However, Barton?s set to annoy them even more by putting her big screen dreams on hold for a little longer, to join the cast of another hit TV show.

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry?s spokesperson hints to the Daily Mirror, ?He?s interviewing and auditioning all the time. Mischa would be a welcome asset to the show but who knows what will happen??
