anna, 5"10 is probably minimum. 5"11 seems right to me!!

Just to make one thing clear, Willa Holland is NOT 5'7" or 5'8". I Believe that as much as I believe Nikki Reed is 5'8". If anyone is still watching that show, Willa plays Melinda Clarke's youngest daughter. And if Willa actually is that tall, that means Melinda Clarke and Kelly Rowan must be 5'10" MINIMUM.

Anyway! Mischa is not taller than 178 cm - it is maximum... Claudia Schiffer is around 182 cm.

Anna I looked carefully at the beach photo you sent. What's good about that photo is that they're all bare foot and you could see who has the advantage on who. I find it interesting that you just compared Mischa to Adam but not the other cast members. Rachel Bilson is about eye level to Mischa in that photo, but what's even more interesting is that Rachel's feet level is lower than Mischa's, which means Rachel actually has the DISADVANTAGE. There's also another person I'm interested in that photo and that's Kelly Rowan. Kelly looks close to Mischa's height in that photo. I even took a ruler and measured the two of them, they are close in height. So Anna you're a strongly believer that Mischa is atleast 5'10", so how tall do you reckon Kelly is?

Hey, I believe Mischa is more closely to at least 6 feet tall. I say that because watch The OC from last season. Specifically watch 5ft. 7in Willa Holland alongside Mischa Barton. Notice that Mishca towers over her. That is at least a 5 inch differance between them. Making Mishca closer to 6 feet tall.

The girl to her right is Doutzen Kroes, she's a model.

In that picture she looks a bit shorter, the one I saw had a different perspective, it seems!

the picture is in the book o.c undercover from brittany kent, look at amazon.com maybe you find it there and can search inside, YOU are really obsessed in belivieng she is taller than him, at o.c california she often appears taller but that is television, at charmed holly and alyssa are much smaller than rose, but they appear the same height because the producers want them to look the same height, that is television, nothing is at it seems
ilovesanfrancisco said on 14/Jan/07
there is a photo in a book, named o.c undercover, and on the photo you can see ben, rachel, mischa and adam, mischa stands next to adam and wears high heels, but she is already smaller than him, so she cannot be the same height, she is not 5'11" she is more 5'9"
Cheryl said on 12/Jan/07
No, I always thought that Haide is rather tall and it is no need for him to wear lifts, but if he really does, then Mischa can be taller...
Glenn said on 11/Jan/07
I agree Anna.either way,she was huge.and Sharapova was 6-3 according to my friends.
Cheryl said on 11/Jan/07
Anna in that picture with Sharapova, Misha heels are very big (like 11-12 cm), Masha heels are around 6-7 cm. Also Masha slouches very much, Misha is standing straight. I am sure that Misha is 175 cm - look at this picture!Click Here
Glenn said on 11/Jan/07
6ft in small heels.
carla said on 7/Jan/07
yes anna, she is tall. She tries to look short but she can't. Next to Paris her height isn't that noticable.
Cheryl said on 18/Dec/06
Yes, according to the picture with Hayden Mischa is exactly 175 cm.

Mischa is 5"10, probably. I haven't actually met her yet. I know she doesn't like being tall-very unusual! If I was that tall I'd love it. However, Mischa is NOT 5"7.
Sarah said on 8/Dec/06
I'd say shes easily around 5"9. I know someone said about her legs being so long but I'm around the 5"8-5"9 mark and have l ike a 35inch inside leg which probably looks much longer than somenoe of that height.
Jon said on 4/Dec/06
I don't think the Sharapova photo is particularly useful as her (Sharapova) heel height is not visible. Also Sharapova has everything against her in terms of judging height in this photo; her position in the photo, her posture, the hip-sway, the angle of the shot etc, while Barton is standing perfectly straight on one leg (gaining her around half an inch of actual height), and with her head tilted upwards (adding to her percieved height).
Regarding the photo with Chris Carmack, both he and Barton are leaning on a bar surface and their legs are not visible so we don't know which of the two is losing more height from the lean. Judging from the Baldwin photo Carmak appears to be around the 5'11" mark and in a majority of photos he does appear to have 1.5 - 2" on Barton.
A good photo series to use for comparison (available on Getty Images) is between Barton and MTV presenter Damien Fahey who this site has pegged at 6'2". Fahey appears around 2.5"- 3" taller than Barton (wearing a 3" heel) in all of the full body shots, placing her at around the 5'9" mark.
Josh said on 23/Nov/06
I doubt so John in the sharapova pic both are wearing heels and maybe Mischa´s heels are bigger and also sharapova has a weird posture in that pic shes not standing straight as mischa is standing as straight as posible , also Tate Donovan always had good inches on her in the oc she´s under 5'10 look at the pic with Amani Toomer she gets dwarfed by him shes wearing flats and looking 5'9
I saw that pic posted here not sure it is still there , she really looks 5'9 and the tallest she can look in some pics is 5'9.5 (177cm) no more than that , also Willa Holland looks to be in the 5'6 / 5'7 range also look at the pic with the 5'11 model wicked kid posted that model is taller than Mischa.
Josh said on 20/Nov/06
Chris is shorter than the guy who plays the role of Mischa´s father in the oc I think hes name is Tate Donovan something like that, hes listed at 6'0 so chris is not taller than 5'11 I think, he really doesnt look taller than that and in most episodes of the oc he looked to have 2 inches on mischa.Also when he was in smallville 6'2 Tom Welling had easily 3 to 4 inches on him , he cant be more than 5'11.
ralph said on 16/Nov/06
Look at her legs! She must be 5'10" or more.
Josh said on 15/Nov/06
Jon is right , also in the Oc she was shorter than chris carmack and that guy is obviously not 6'1 as listed in some places he was around brody´s height.
Jon said on 14/Nov/06
I find it difficult to believe anything above 5'9". The barefoot photo on the sand is obviously impossible to judge with any accuracy as it is not an even surface, but you can clearly see that Brody is standing in a ditch relative to Barton losing him a good 2 inches. I think as usual with tallish wirey framed women people will tend to over estimate their height.
Josh said on 13/Nov/06
Are u sure the one in the back is Mischa I thought that was Kelly Rowan the girl in the black dress really seems to be Mischa , the one who seems to be July Cooper is tha one in the left side of the pic also in black dress because shes readhead and considerably shorter than brody take a closer look Mischa is the one in black dress next to Rachel. She still looks 5'9 to me , when shes wearing bi heels she looks around 6'0 if she was 5'11 she would be like 6'2 6'3 with heels she really looks 5'9.
Jessica said on 11/Nov/06
I've met Mischa is Los Angleles before. I'm about 5'6, and she is about an inch or an inch and a half taller than me. So she's about 5'7.
Josh said on 11/Nov/06
If Mischa is the one in the black dress , yeah brody looks taller look at the top of brody´s head hes almost 2 inches taller than her , also she never looks taller than him unless she is in huge hills, the tallest shes ever looked to me is 176cm (5'9) and thats the tallest she looks in that pic if brody is 179-180cm i have even seen 1.77cm listings for him.
Josh said on 6/Nov/06
Is not true Brody looks taller than Mischa in that pic saying Mischa is taller than brody is a joke.
Anonymous said on 29/Oct/06
is Willa Holland really 5'7"-5'8"???????????
Jake W. said on 23/Oct/06
Yeah, 5'7" is understating the truth of 5'8"/5'9".
cati said on 15/Oct/06
wow i looked at the pic of her next to maria and that proves that mischa lies about her height.an i dont know why people do that.
anna said on 14/Oct/06
I would say 5'10"-5'11.5". She is tall and she always, and I mean always, slouches on the OC (or she did). I think the director makes her do that. It annoys me, but whatever. lol She is still taller than Ben Mckenzie and Adam Brody even when she does slouch.
Josh said on 4/Oct/06
I agree with Charlotte she just doesnt have the frame of a 5'10 5'11 girl she can look that in hills but not in flats , Ben is barely 5'8 with his boots his 5'9 and mischa looks around the same or a tiny bit taller than him in flats she´s 5'9 (175cm) 176cm max.
anna said on 29/Sep/06
Definitely agree with you Lila. She is taller than Ben even when he is wearing huge heels and she is as tall or taller than Adam Brody. She needs an upgrade.
Lila said on 29/Sep/06
I really believe that Mischa is 178cm- 180cm. On The OC shes always (most of the time anyway) wearing very thin soled shoes but is always taller than Ben Mackenzie (175 max) and as tall as Adam Brody (180cm max).
anna said on 28/Sep/06
I see why people might think she is shorter because she wears flats all of the time, but I honestly think she is 5'10" plus. And in the picture with Megan Gale, she is about the same height as her, at the most 1/2" shorter and to me Megan looks more like 5'11". There is an episode on the OC and she is taller than Adam Brody who is listed at 5'11". So, I think anything under 5'10" is unreasonable. And in the picture with Maria Sharapova, Maria is slouching, but she is not slouching that much. And Mischa does not look that much shorter than her, I am guessing if both stood up straight there would only be a few inch difference between them and then we need to keep in mind that Maria is apprx. 6'2" (maybe more?) Also, Maria is wearing heels and they are about the same height as Mischa's. So, MIscha can't be under 5'10" can she? Have a great weekend and I hope you have your picture soon Glenn! :)
S said on 25/Sep/06
no, in the picture maria is totally slouching and her heels look shorter then mischa's. u can't really tell from that angle, they kind of look like flats to me. plus micha is standing up much straighter. i really don't think she's over 5"9, if that. but 5"9 seems accurate enough. she has a slim figure which adds to her height.
Charlotte said on 24/Sep/06
Mischa's 5'9". The girl isn't insanely tall, she loves her heels. She'd be closer to 5'8" than 5'10", so 5'9" is pretty accurate.

Megan Gale is 5'10.5" or so, and Mischa is a fair bit shorter than her.
anna said on 22/Sep/06
Mischa is most definetely 5'10"+(most likely 5'10.5" or 5'11")...upgrade Rob? or at least tell us your opinion??
ally said on 21/Sep/06
i'm not so sure about the angle with the maria mischa pic.. but yeah, Mischa must be 5'9 or above... atleast i think so.
anna said on 16/Sep/06
I would say she is 5'10" or 5'11". In that picture with Maria Sharapova she definteley looks 5'11" or taller. If Maria is 6'2""-6'3" and they are both wearing pretty equal footwear, Mischa has to be 5'11". Maybe you should upgrade Mischa to 5'10" (or more) Rob? It seems like people agree.
paige said on 16/Sep/06
mischa is atleast 5'9. im 14 and have a shoe size 7/8 im quite tall to. id love to be smaller. what size shoe do you think mischa is?!
Jangstrom said on 15/Sep/06
To me she always looked like a 5'11 girl,but she's so slim and that's probably why she looks taller.I don't think she's shorter than 5'9 though and in the picture Wicked posted she seems to be 5'11.
wicked said on 12/Sep/06
Here's the photo of Mischa next to Sharapova:

Glenn said on 12/Sep/06
I think I saw her looking 5-7 awhile ago in flats.last night looking 6ft in small heels! so yeah,closer to 5-10.
cluedin said on 11/Sep/06
just saw barton AND sharapova at the marc jacobs show, took a pic w/ maria and walked out right behind both of them. I thought Mischa was more 5-8, but she's definitely AT Least 5'9, maybe 5'10. Sharapova is a giant. just joking, she's gorgeous. i didn't see her heels, but she was about 3 inches taller than mischa. mischa was wearing huge heels, but so was i and she towered.
anna said on 10/Sep/06
I saw a picture of Mischa and Adam in pretty equal footwear and Mischa was, surprisingly, as tall or taller than Adam. ??
Josh said on 6/Sep/06
Oh Okay I respect your opinion but she really does look 5'9 is not that 5'11 is crazy tall for a girl but Mischa doesnt look taller than 5'9 .
anna said on 4/Sep/06
5'11" is tall for a girl, but I don't think it is crazy tall. Maria Sharapova is crazy tall, Mischa Barton is normal tall. It's not that we want her to be taller either (at least me) I just think she looks this tall.
anna said on 27/Aug/06
Yeah I am not really sure about the whole foot size thing...it is hard to tell from that angle. Yeah and I would say 178cm to 80cm for Mischa sounds reasonable seeing that megan is a strong 181cm. Does anyone else think Rob should upgrade her?
Clyde said on 26/Aug/06
I'm just curious to know if megan really has bigger feet than mischa...can you see the difference in the picture? anna, what do you think? megan is 1.81 for sure, mischa not shorter than 1.78
Clyde said on 25/Aug/06
I'm just curious to know if Megan Gale really has bigger feet than Mischa...can you see the difference in the picture? anna, what do you think? Megan gale is 1.81 for sure
anna said on 25/Aug/06
Also, Mischa cannot be as small as 5'7" because of her height compared with others' on the OC. We know that she wears thin soled shoes while Ben wears huge soled shoes, but Mischa still looks taller than him by at least 1/2", sometimes even as much as an inch. Also, there are some scenes when 5'7" Melinda Clark wears heels and Mischa is in her flats, but Mischa is still taller by at least an inch or two. And Melinda's heels are not small. Then Mischa is taller than Peter Gallagher when he is in dress shoes and she is barefoot. And Mischa does not look that much shorter than Adam Brody. I think they would be around the same height barefoot.
anna said on 24/Aug/06
Are you kidding? She looks massive. Sorry to sound like a jerk, but she does look 5'10"+. I will try to find some pictures, etc. but a good one to start with is the pictures with Megan Gale. From what I am hearing Megan is 5'11" and Mischa looks almost as tall as her with slightly smaller (?) heels... I would say 5'10"-5'11" is reasonable for Mischa. Ben Mckenize, however, may be more in teh 5'7" range.
Anonymous said on 24/Aug/06
5'7".
She is only about an inch taller than Vanessa Minillo on TRL. Vanessa is 5'5" (check her with Nick). Mischa is only 5'7" MAX.
I urge you to do objective research and find anything that can dispute this. Nothing points to 5'9".
anna said on 18/Aug/06
I do think that Megan Gale is about 5'11". She does look it and Mischa does not look that much shorter than her. I am guessing they are around the same height. But with the feet thing Clyde, I have not idea what size shoe either of them have... I am guessing you are just curious, but I would like to point out that shoe size is not a good way to determine a person's height because I know many tall people with smaller feet and many shorter people with large feet. Does anyone else feel the same way? And I feel that 5'7" is realitvley tall, but not tall tall, lol if you know what I mean. 5'4" is the average height in the world (I think) so it is 3 inches above the average, but it is not like you are taller than everyone. I would say that if you are a girl and over 5'8" you are going to be one of the tallest wherever you go. I defintely would consider Mischa a tall girl. I am pretty sure she is either 5'10" or 5'11".
messedaroundchic said on 18/Aug/06
5"7 isn't short if 5"4 is meant to be tall because a lot of people think it is then surely 5"7 is quite tall im just over 5"3 but i feel tall by the way mischa is 5"9
Clyde said on 18/Aug/06
Megan Gale is 1.81 tall!!! And she has much bigger feet than Mischa(look at the picture) anyone knows her shoe size?
sianna said on 18/Aug/06
hey grace..u r soooo lucky to have seen her @ David Jones!! i wanted to go but my mum wouldnt let me take the day off school :(...i REALLY suprised that u guys think 5'7 is tall! like all my friends are easily over 5'6!! most are 5'7-5'11! and im only 5'3..which is a tad below the 'apparant' average and i feel like 4ft next to everyone! either my height is weirdly short or the girls my age are ridiculously tall...another thing, Megan Gale is 5'10..not 5'11...she is an aussie supermodel for those who dont no :)
katy said on 17/Aug/06
i believe shes heaps taller than 5'7, she also does have an extreamly long torso which also makes her look heaps tall. by the way 5'7 is very short, dont forget she was a runway model.
anna said on 15/Aug/06
Natalie, it is hard to tell becasue we do not see the whole picture, but from what I can see it looks as if she is slouching considerably. As for your comment Grace, I do think she is 5'10" or more. I am not trying to start a fight, lol, but I think it is hard to judge the actors heights on the show because they wear such werid footwear to hide heights. For example, Ben Mckenzie wears huge shoes and Mischa wears ballet slippers with basically no height. That may be why the height difference between Kaitlin and MIscha may seem smaller than it usually is. When both are in similar footwear it could be more like 3-4 inches. haha long post but I think it answers some questions... cheers everyone!
Grace said on 15/Aug/06
To Anna, she looked much taller than me, but in pictures she does not look as tall as 5'10", and on The OC, she looks about 2 and half inches taller than Kaitlin, who is 5'7". Her slimness makes her look much taller than she is. And yeah, it was so awesome seeing her lol!
Natalie said on 15/Aug/06
Please explaines this... Click Here
Jesse is 5'9" and mischa isn't much taller then him.. Look at this pictures what kind of heels have she on (23") Click Here
anna said on 14/Aug/06
Yeah I would say Mischa is 5'10"-5'11". She looks about .5"-1" shorter than Megan Gale and is wearing slightly smaller heels. So, if they were in equal footwear I am guessing they would be the same height or very close. And then Grace that is so cool that you saw her! lol but anyways you say she looked much taller than you, but is 1/2" really a big height difference? I never thought it was...are you sure she wasn't more like 5'10" or 5'11"?
Boubles said on 14/Aug/06
The girl next to Mischa is Megan Gale,she's 5'11"
Grace said on 13/Aug/06
I am 5'9" and saw Mischa in California a while ago, and she looked much taller than me, but I don't think she is any taller than 5'10". And to Melissa, 5'7" really isn't that tall at all, it's a good height. My sisters are 5'7" and 5'11", and Rachel (who is 5'7") is tiny compared to me and Hails. I would love to be 5'7", as I am only 16 and could still grow (My mom and grandmother grew very tall when they hit 16/17).
I would say Mischa is 5'9.5".
wicked said on 12/Aug/06
Hey! I've foung a pic of Mischa standing next to a taller girl! I have no idea who she is, though.

ds said on 11/Aug/06
I think Mischa is taller than 5'7" b/c lst year I was 5'7" and I was among the tallest but like I wasn't towering over everyone. 5'8" is also tall, but it's nothing to be ashamed of.
Melissa_From_Australia said on 11/Aug/06
I met Mischa yesterday @ The David Jones store in Melbourne Australia i am 170am tall and she was exactly the same height as me. She is really thin though & has really good bone structure & the bluest eyes ever!!
anna said on 11/Aug/06
Yeah, seeing Mischa on talk shows and stuff I would say she is easily 5'10"+. In heels she is taller than David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel...
anna said on 4/Aug/06
Mischa is one of the few really tall girls in Hollywood. I really think she is 5'10"+ considering she is almost as tall as Adam Brody on the OC. She is also taller than Peter Gallagher when she is barefoot and he is wearing shoes.
anna said on 4/Aug/06
Wow, Amanda Righetti, who plays Hailey on the OC is 5'8.5". There is a still from the first season where both are wearing flats and Mischa is literally 2-3 inches taller.
anna said on 1/Aug/06
I read somewhere that when she met Adrien Grenier and was taller than him. It is not exactly an incredibley reliable source, but here it is. Click Here He is 5'11" according to this site and I have heard things from 5'10" to 6'0". NO matter his height, if Mischa is taller than him she has to be at least 5'10". For the link scroll down to where it says 9:02 and read. :)
chloe said on 30/Jul/06
yeah well im also from australia and every ones about 5'8 and thats not tall at all
Lisa _ said on 29/Jul/06
aye i'm from australia so i don't really know how much 5'7'' is but i think that mischa looks very VERY tall .. i'm about 160cm myself .. how much is that in feet ?
anna said on 25/Jul/06
I think Mischa is probably more around 5'10". As said in the description, she wears thin soled shoes to make her look shorter than Ben in the OC, but Mischa still looks taller than him. I have also heard that Ben wears really chunky shoes to make him look taller, so 5'10" sounds like her height. She also looks taller than/the same height as Peter Gallagher even when he wears dress shoes, so I am pretty sure she is 5'10". Could this be possible?
messedaroundchic said on 17/Jun/06
does anyone know what the average height is in england? mischa is taller than 5"8 shes taller than Ben McKenzie & tall people are skinny because they grow tall & narrow Adam Brody isn't much taller than her shes up to his shoulders she is no less than 5"9 & 4 inches
Blanca said on 14/Jun/06
redchilli...I'm from Switzerland and there the average height is 5'6 or something like that. I'm 1.71 m tall, have shoe size 37 and I'm still growing. You see..it's possible to be "tall" and to have little feet;-). I think Mischa is 5'8..and that's a good height:-)
messedaroundchic said on 6/Jun/06
nicole said on vh1 it showed mischa standing next to bill gates who is listed at 5'10 and she looked at least an inch taller then him she must be 5"10 Benjamin McKenzie is 5"7 or maybe 5"7 & a half shes really tall she is almost as tall as Adam Brody shes just up to his shoulders so shes 5"10 she is no way under 5"9 shes so tall
Anonymous said on 4/Jun/06
You people should stop complaining about height, I'm a 17 year old girl and I'm about 5'10 if not 5'10.5, 5'8 is not that tall. It's average where I live. (That is the Netherlands, home to the tall people lol) Just be proud of your height, you can't change it anyway.
sianna said on 3/Jun/06
yer the more i think of it she should be dowmgraded to 5'8..she just doesnt seem this tall...i agree with LAAnonyme with her slimness giving her a height advantage..i was shocked when i discovered that hilary duff is barely 5'2 and lindsay lohan only 5'5..i thought all these thin girls were more lyk 5'7!
LAAnonyme said on 24/May/06
She is 5'8". Her thinness makes her appear taller, but she's the same height as Heather Graham.
aerii said on 23/May/06
thanks sianna, but i gotta deal with being taller than guys all the time. not great lol, and im 17 too..what if i grow? ahh haha
MeLiSsA said on 23/May/06
Yea aerii i feel like that too. Im almost 5'7 without shoes and i wish i was shorter. But with heels its even worse cuz i luv them but then i feel like a giant.
Anonymous said on 23/May/06
it states she is 5foot9 on her official myspace.

Click Here

to be honest i think shes .5 taller so 5foot9.5.
wicked said on 22/May/06
She looks pretty tall in the show, but I also think Ben McKenzie is shorter than the 5'8.5" he is listed.. I dunno.

@aerii: I'm 5'8.5" and I have no problem with heels, I love them! I don't think 5'8" is too tall, so don't worry about wearing heels, they look great on girls like us, cause we aren't extremely tall, so we can either wear flats and still be fairly tall, or heels without towering over guys.
sianna said on 19/May/06
5'11 for mischa...i dont no..that may be a little too tall for her...that pic with her n karolina kurkova who is 5'11 showed that mishca was a good 2-3 inches shorter...and Mischa is taller than Adam wen in heels...i just dont think shed downgrade herself by 3 inches..it would be too obvious
anna said on 16/May/06
mischa is 5"11 shes taller than Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood) shes the same height as Adam Brody she never stands up straight so if she looks shorter than Adam its because shes leaning forward or her legs her bent or she has not got her chin up as shes ashamed of her height its why she said she was 5"8
nicole said on 10/May/06
on vh1 it showed mischa standing next to bill gates who is listed at 5'10 and she looked at least an inch taller then him.

@messedaroundchic - 5'3" is a great height for a girl!

It's not too tall so don't worry about it ever again.
To tall? said on 6/May/06
I'm 5ft 9. I'm also a size 2, which adds to my height. Do you guys think that's to tall? Do guys find that hot?
messedaroundchic said on 6/May/06
im 5,3 thats not too tall is it i fink its average height is that a nice height
sianna said on 1/May/06
u no the girl who plays kaitlyn cooper on the oc, well in heels (2.5-3 inches) she is just under mischa's height..and she is listed as being 5'7. so either mishca is more lyk 5'10, or that girl is shorter than 5'7

hanna: It depends where you live and who you are around with most of the time. My sister is 13 and she is 169cm and is still growing. She will reach about 174cm, but if you haven't grown in the last 5 months maybe you have finished or have only a couple of centimetres left.
Averige? said on 30/Apr/06
Pretty funny actually...Anonymous says that she's tall, but I'm about the same height and I'm just averige (of course, because I'm a guy)!
Hanna said on 26/Apr/06
I have only just turned thirteen a few days ago and I'm 171cm tall.
I haven't grown anything in the past five months.
Should I count myself as tall or medium?

I think she is lying about being 174 cm, I myself am 178 and she seems taller than me and if you look at profiles of the other characters on the show e.g Ryan Donowho, it says there he is 184, now on the show she wears flat shoes and does she seem 10 cm shorter than johnny, I don't think so! shes the same as him or even 2 cm shorter than him,
anna said on 26/Apr/06
shes 5"10 shes taller than Benjamin McKenzie & half an inch shorter than Adam Broady so shes around that height no shorter than 5"9
sianna said on 24/Apr/06
her site has her @ 5'8...and usually celebs official sites add on a couple of inches...but 5'8 seems right
Charlotte said on 21/Apr/06
I think she's 5'8.5".
To Anonymous -About 3.5".So that puts her at 5'7.5"? She's grown a bit since then.She looks absolutely stunning in that photo by the way.

she has a different bone type, that's why she looks taller than those woman who is taller as her. she is too skinny, that makes her look taller too but it's not the whole reason. I'm also 5'8'' but I do not seem like her.:( :P

In an US Weekly issue, they compared Mischa to other "5'9 celebs" (Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz, Tyra Banks..)

how much height are those heels giving her?
she is slightly shorter than Brody who is 5'11
bella said on 9/Apr/06
She does seem quite tall. She has really good proportions though. I think on some pictures she looks really skinny and on others she looks a little healthier, but i guess it might just be the angle.

Leah: That rule doesn't apply when you're as short as 5'2"
dave said on 30/Mar/06
she seems at least 5'9.5" more likely 5'10". There is no way she is 5'7"...that is crazy!!!!!!! lol
Leah said on 28/Mar/06
Funny how people say the skinnier you are, the taller you look. Because I'm 5'2" or 5'2" 1/2 and I always feel shorter and more petite when I lose weight and when I'm on the skinny side. Hmm..

Nam said on 26/Mar/06
Melisa : She looked about 5'10" to me, but I'm not sure - I think she is very skinny, which makes her seem very tall - she is probably only 5'8", definitely not 5'7". As for the ugly part - just my opinion, this way she looks like a real model though I personally prefer girls around 5'3" since I'm 5'8" :)
Fern said on 23/Mar/06
I am 5`9 and had flats on next to mischa. She is taller. I would guess at 5`10 minimum .Very pretty close up but ackward like bambi or a baby giraffe!!!.She should be taught correct posture then she would be 6 foot.
bikagyura said on 22/Mar/06
hey, medico.. are you a girl or a guy?
I think Mischa is 5' 9 at least.. I'd say 5' 9 up to 5' 9½ or something (wouldn't exactly surprise me if she turned out to be 5' 10 either though)
BTW: Gosh... This must be the most popular height on the site :)
Cube432 said on 22/Mar/06
Proof that Mischa Barton is taller than 5'9"

See the photos of her standing with the 5'9" 1/2 (both by her official website and her agency’s stats) Molly Sims.

Click Here


If you enlarge the photos (unfortunately you have pay for that...I'm unable to reproduce it here), you clearly see that in the bigger (facial) photo, she (Mischa) is bending her neck. Molly's neck is straight. Secondly, Molly is wearing astronomically high heels, that stand up her feet, as if on her tippy toes. Although Mischa's dress covers her shoes, you can catch a glimpse of the front of them, which start out flat. So, they wouldn't be any higher than Molly's heals. So that makes Mischa at the minimum 5'9 1/2, but more likely 5'10.
Nam said on 20/Mar/06
i saw her once (i think it was her... :P ) she is very tall and absolutely stunning, her height completely compliments her and she would have been ugly had she been under 5'7"

i met her a couple of times. i'm 5'11, and she is about one
maybe two inches shorter then me.

medico: "there are good looking short guys, there are ugly looking short guys, there are good looking tall guys and there are ugly looking short ones. there, that should about sum it up." - so you're pretty much saying that you prefer tall guys huh? hehehe
J-Dog. said on 16/Mar/06
It should never even be a question whether short women are just as pretty as tall women, I don't think any men ever ask themselves that question. The only guys who would care at all are the guys here who want to be taller and thus want a taller girl out of insecurity. I don't ever even think about a woman's height, unless she is in the 6'4" range. It doesn't even matter to what a man would find appealing.
Jade said on 16/Mar/06
you guys , I just found out that i'm just 156 cm. since i'm a thai girl. I know i'm really really short and small but somehow i don't like wearing boots or heels at all because it's hard for me to walk directly. So I just always wear flats or normal sport shoes...and that makes me still small as I am.
MeLiSsA said on 15/Mar/06
Kate Moss is 5'6 so she's really not THAT short. Maybe 5'5 at the very least. The minimum runway model is 5'8 w/ exceptions, but for other kinds of modeling, it can be less. What they really like to see is a 5'10 model.
Jessica said on 13/Mar/06
Of course short people can be pretty Sianna height really makes no differeence for a woman i'm close to 5'5" so I'm in the middle. Elizabeth Taylor- the most beautiful woman in the world- was around your height just like vivien leigh, Alyssa Milano Rachel Bilson Rose McGowan Natalie Portman, Scarlett johansson Jane Seymour Bo Derek I could go on. . . . . . . . . . In short some of the most gorgeous woman in the world have been small
sianna said on 12/Mar/06
i just wanna say that just coz mischa LOOKS 5'9 doesnt mean that she is. i used to wish that i was that tall (me being only 5'3.5), but now im kinda used to being 'petite'. i would lyk to be around 5'7-5'8 but i doubt that it would happen (im gunna b 16 soon lol). so all i wanna say is short ppl can be pretty lyk tall ppl 2 lol
nic_w said on 10/Mar/06
i'm 5'9 and i really hate being this tall, it also makes you look thinner than you really are it's really awkward having to go somewhere and have to wear formal shoes as i don't wanna be taller than i am. i think the ideal height for a girl is about 5'6. i would really love to be around 2inches shorter. i don't feel as feminine as i wanna as i'm so tall!!
anonymouse said on 4/Mar/06
but 5'9 isn't that tall either, i mean not really... unless the reporter was short, like 5'4 or something... 5'11 or 6 ft is tall, but there no way she's that tall. i always feel taller when i see her.
Lexii said on 3/Mar/06
She is around 5'9'' becvause on tv (101 hottest celebs) she is described as "beautiully tall" and if she was 5'7" I dont think they emphasize the word "tall". She would have to be an out of the ordinary tall. So I would say she is around 5'9"
MeLiSsA said on 3/Mar/06
Actually Kats you're wrong. What Pippa was saying can be true because it's not like average is one exact height, it's a range of heights. Usually 5'8 and over is considered tall and 5'4 and under is short(or maybe under 5'4).

But if you consider 5'7 to be 3 1/2--4 1/2 inches above average then you are saying that average is 5'2 3/4 to 5'3 1/2 which everyone knows is below average. Average is supposedly 5'4 or 5'4.5, but really I think it's more like 5'5. At least with teenage or twenty something girls as opposed to older people.
Kats said on 3/Mar/06
The picture below with Lindsay Lohan looks like Mischa is actually closer to 5 inches taller. Lindsay is slouched a little but I think she would come up to Mischa's eyes... which is about 5 inches. That would match with Mischa being 5'9 and Lindsay being 5'4. I've wondered it Lindsay is less than 5'4 though. Mischa is at least 5'8. I'll give 5'8 1/2 for now.

The model comparison (of Ines Rivero) discussed below is interesting. Wish there was a picture to go with it.

By the way Pippa, 5'7 is not average height! It's 3 1/2--4 1/4 inches above average! Quite tall! Not gigantic but definitely noticibly tall. The problem is some females will say 5'7 when they are really around 5'5, deluting the height. (I know from personal experience--it's done with a lot of heights, but 5'7 tends to be a favorite I've noticed when it comes to near average females wanting to bump themselves up.)
A said on 2/Mar/06
I totally agree with emma. I'm 5'5" and that's a pretty good height to be but my body is quite curvy and so I appear shorter than I am. There are some short girls out there who appear taller like Sarah Jessica Parker and Eva Longoria.
Pippa said on 26/Feb/06
5'7" too tall?! Are you kidding? That's average height! The rest of the OC cast must be soooo short then!! I'm 6" and even I'm not considered that tall anymore!
Anonymous said on 25/Feb/06
I don't get why people lie about their height. I think it's a stupid thing to do. If you're short, you're short. I'm a guy and am 165cm tall. If people have a problem with that, that's their problem. I think you should just be honest because eventually people are gonna find out.
sianna said on 24/Feb/06
in that picture of mischa nd lindsay, u can see that lidsya is leaning, or has a leg bent. that would make her 2-3 inches shorter than if she were standing straight like mischa. so i think mischa is 5'8. i doubt she ould lie about her height by 2 inches.

Everyone is a different height. You have to live with what you are given and appreciated it too. If you are short, you'll grow to love it, as well as if you are tall. There's is nothing wrong with either.
Some people made comments saying, "I'm so and so feet tall, though i wish i were shorter." Im 14, and 5'11...and PROUD OF IT! Who care if I'm taller than most of the guys my age, i get to date a tall football player in highschool!
ds said on 20/Feb/06
Ok well I was looking at some gossip magazine and there was this supermodel and Mischa Barton and they had the same dress on and it was that who wore it better section. The super model I looked up was Ines Rivero, and she's 5'11", and she looked so much taller than Mischa. Mischa doesn't look tall enough to be 5'10", I think the old listing of 174 cm was most accurate. Maybe 173cm is better. She's now always listed at 5'8". 5'10" is ridiculous. I agree with 'What', she always says 5'8" in flats, but I def. don't think she's 5'7", she's taller than that. I also agree about the most people don't know their own height. Everyone swears I'm taller than I am, so I will tell people I'm 174cm, but really I am 172 cm. Most of my friends are imo atleast an inch shorter than thy claim, I mean some are their heights, but most aren't. why don't you just take her word. Because that pics of her being towered over by that 6'3" guy, says that she can't be 5'9", because she didn't even reach his chine, and 6 inches especially on someone so tall would be a bit over the chin, just under the mouth.
anonymouse said on 14/Feb/06
5"9 is hardly towering over, i don't know many hot guys who aren't at least 5"10. plus i rather be tall then look fat.
anonymouse said on 11/Feb/06
i'm a model and a bit taller then 5"9. i've also met mischa a coupleof times at parties in ny. i would say she's my height or maybe half an inch shorter. but she told me she loves to wear heels, but on the show she's not aloud to because "it wouldn't be sexy to be taller then ben". i love my height and since i've always been naturally lean and tall, 110 pounds at my heaviest, i've been able to break out in the bussiness. mischa is so confident i highly doubt she's insecure about her heigth, since she once told me she loves her body and the wau clothes fit her. i'm the same way, plus the skinnier you are the taller you look. and vice versa, so y would you want to be short?
michael said on 10/Feb/06
if you look at the episode in which they discover that luke's dad is gay (season 1), you'll see that at the end they are all toghether standing in the same row and: mischa is 1.5 inch shorter then adam, while ben is 0.5 inch shorter then mischa but he has his "magic boots" so to me they are: adam 5.10, mischa 5.9, ben 5.7/5.8...

So... you see, Anonymous, you're not right. Thanks to Ujane, Moscow I have learned another thing. Adn I can be there again for one of my special comments: My sports trainer/ teacher (he's kinda like a friend to me because we're very sports interested) is 6' or 6'1''... has been 5'10'' when he was 22. And now he's over 50. I didn't know that, now I do. I felt kinda... I don't know. Talking to a guy for years who's over 50 and I'd said 45 or something...

Mischa looks tall. And you know another thing: When teenies grow they can look skinny. I've eaten a lot of things lately and I'm 5'9''. I didn't grow for as few months I guess, perhaps a few mm. And I still don't weigh much. Sure I love sports but I didn't do that much lately.
I think Mischa is kinda the same.
Remember, 2002 in Fastlane they said she's 5'8''. Looked 5'8''. Age? I don't know.

Ugh, do I have to make a 3rd statement? I should have read everything and roled it into one. Oh well... last comment for the day. Promise. Lucy, not "all" supermodels are really tall. Most yes. Some 5'6-5'7. Some high fashion models, who aren't necessarily supermodel, but still make a good living as a model are even under 5'6. EXCEPTIONS.
Kats said on 4/Feb/06
Actually Anonymous, really really special cases can grow a little past 25. Very rare. And I would say 18 is the typical end of height for females. Some consider 16-17, so I won't argue with you there.

And to another Anonymous, 5'9 is usually considered average for a caucasian male. Some studies stay almost exactly 5'9, some say 5'9 1/2. Some even 5'10. But most consider 5'9 as average.
Anonymous said on 1/Feb/06

EH melissa 2 inches is a Big difference it's almost a quarter of a foot,and by the way 5 ft 7 nowdays REALLY ISN"T THAT TALL so you should be fine with that height,I'm a girl to and 1cm cm from 6 ft and i'm happy with being that height!! But height really isn't anyhing but how far the top of your head is from the ground,Really not a big deal!
MeLiSsA said on 31/Jan/06
I know most ppl want to be taller, like Lucy said. But I think in my opinion, being short is more feminine because your always shorter than the guys. I'm 5'7, the average guy is 5'9 so that's not that much of a difference. I'd KILL to feel tiny next to a guy, not like a big monster. I have very low self esteem because of my height...Otherwise I'd be perfect.

I'm 172cm and 3 of my friends claim I'm 175 cm. But I'm not I'm 172. There's nothing that embarassing about 5'9", I understand if you're maybe 5'10" cuz that's above the average male. But Ben McKenzie is my height. I haven't met Mischa yet. but when I do, I'll tell you. I think she's like 172-173 cm...not 175 she's never been listed as that. why would they underestimate, no one in hollywood does that unless you're above 5'11" as a girl...
jasna said on 30/Jan/06

I downplay my height. I'm almost 5'7, like 5'6 and 3/4 but i feel sooo tall. I say that im 5'6 because for some reason that sounds a lot better, more feminine. I would love to be 5'4 or less, though. I can tell Mischa is taller than me and she probably feels the same way I do and wants to be shorter.

On the other hand, girls are out-grown wy before guys are but it's different for everybody.
Mischa looks... 5'9'' if not taller. Look at newer pics. She looks at least 5'9'' OR 5'10''... Ben won't grow anymore... oh oh ...
Caity said on 29/Jan/06
I heard that she is actually 5'10 but everyone claims she is 5'7 to downplay the fact that she is taller than co star Benjamin MacKenzie. I'm not saying this is true but I did hear it from someone who works in the business and has been to a lot of parties thats been to. Also, bear in mind that she does slouch a fair bit and nearly always wears flats - whereas Paris Hilton nearly always wears heels so keep that in mind when comparing the two. You can tell just from pictures, looking at her build and proporions that she is tall - I personally would say 5'9 - 5'10.
I'm not sure why there's this thing of wanting to appear shorter than you are. I always thought it was good to be tall, like a supermodel. Loads of actresses these days are tall - Charlize Theron, Uma Thurman, Brooke Shields etc. I'm 5'10 and still wear heels - they make my legs look even longer! I'm very proud of being tall and I don't understand why people think it's something to be ashamed of.

Editor Rob
downplaying height does happen on occasion. Actually, back in 40's some heights would change for a lady depending on the leading man!
sammy said on 29/Jan/06
i think mischa looks taller than 5'8". She looks to me about 5'9"ish. I am 13 and 5'7". Ive been told by my doctor i will be 5'10ish so to find out mischa slouches and hates her height is quite upsetting. But i luv being tall. Most of my friends are 4'9" to 5'3". I feel like i have so much more power over them i love it so much i wanna be taller coz they seem to slowly be catching up!! NOOOO!!!!! lol.

I don't say she's 5'11'', I don't say she lies I just say she probably doesn't knopw her recent height, so she's 5'9''. She was reported 5'8'' a year ago.

175, we don't care. Mischa is listed at 5'7", sais she's 5'7", the tallest she's been reported at is 5'8". She is not 5'9".
175cm16andgrowing said on 7/Jan/06
Yes... I know that... When was 13 I said I was 5'5'' but was 5'4''... then i gthe summer of 2004 I said was still 5'6'' but I was 5'7''... 2005 in summer I thought I was still 5'8'' but I was 5'9''... I'm still 5'9''... crap :D.

But you're right, Anonymous. Like I said a friend of mine claims to be 5'10'' but he's 6' or 6'1''. Last year when I was 5'8'' (July or something) a friend didn't believe me, he claimed to be 5'9''... then I said: Well, you think you're just 5'9''... fine... I'm 5'8''. He didn't believe me so we measured us... he's 5'11'' and 15, I'm nearly 17 and 5'9''.

And I think Mischa is 5'9''... she looks it... 5'9'' and 120lbs in recent pics.

Mischa is definitely taller than the 5' 8" she says; she's probably on or very close to the 5' 9" mark nowadays. But she's not growing any more; she'll be 20 next month (24/Jan/06).

i am 13 and 5 ft 7(170cm) which i no is very tall for my age but i dont think mischa looks my height i would say she is no more than 5 foot 9 but no less than five foot eight. i sometimes dont like being my height coz everyone in my year is so much shorter than me. i always feel uncomfortable around them but then i sumtimes love it. my sis is older than me and always complains about my height as she is a lot shorter than me. i like being tall but i hate being compared with other people i bet people who are always being compared feel the same. everyone body wants to be average height and average weight but then you have to ask yourself whats average?
Mick-Vick said on 6/Dec/05
Spot on Rob, you are doing a fantastic job. I don't think Mischa is any less than five nine, and we shouldn't take her word for being five eight in the interviews either. I notice that taller girls tend to downplay their height - my five seven sister always claims she is 5'5"! I don't understand it, I would rather add on inches rather than subtract any day ;) and especially being an utterly gorgeous celebrity like mischa it seems strange. My friend too claimed that, while she was on the set of the OC, she often saw ben mckenzie wearing large shoes and mischa wearing flats and that rachel bilson is very short indeed.

I think she is 5´8 because she said so and why would she lie and say she´s shorter than she really is? Also I dont get why you´re discussing it because normally you have to guess a celebrities height from pictures which is a very innacurate way of doing it and finally a celebrity actually says there height and you go and say that shes a different height? if she says shes 5´8 then she is
anonymous said on 23/Nov/05
Judging from recent pictures I think she is probably 5'7 1/2 to 5'8 inches tall.

She look taller. Maybe 177cm.
ds said on 12/Nov/05
actually it would make the most sense to say Mischa is 171-172, because she said she was 5'8" in flats, and flats aren't an inch more like a cm or 2. But no way is she 5'9", no site has ever listed her as 5'9'.

Ok the one with Lala isn't a good pic, the angle kind of sets us off and I think that they appear about the same height and Lala is wearing heels!! When Beyonce and Co were on the show wearing heels they were all around the same height as lala and Beyonce was a tad shorter then her meaning Lala is probably around 5'7ish, meaning wearing heels next to Mischa and not standing an inch taller then her! Mischa is in flats she has to be at least 5'9!
ds said on 11/Nov/05
Chloee, you could have easily been measured wrong lol. I get measured at several places and the differences in measurements can range to 2 inches! But Mischa is not 5'9". 5'8", she's listed as that in every site, sometimes even 5'7", but most likely 5'8". People can be measured wrong, sometimes they take the measurement too quickly, before you can stand up straight.

I think that everyone should bear in mind that some people look taller then they really are. Especially if you are fairly straight - which Mischa is. She has a straight body (no real curves) and very long legs. I've searched and she claims to be 5'7 and that is possible with her body frame. I thought I would add that Angelina Jolie is too 5'7 but looks much taller. If you take a note, both girls have a long body - very long straight legs!
Robinz said on 8/Nov/05
She continually says 5'8" (Vogue said "5 ft. 8 in. in flats") . That's how tall she is. She wouldn't under-state her height. It's weird that people think she's taller than she says.
anonomous said on 8/Nov/05
mischa barton is tall, but not extremely tall. i hav a friend who is 15 and around 173-175, and im 163. and there isnt that much diiference. on the other hand i hav a friend who is 189, and thats tall! so i think her height is over-exagiratied
glow said on 7/Nov/05
oh well at least i tried... it was a really long, difficult process sifting through all those photos to find something even remotely close to what we're looking for... i think you guys should give it a go now!
anonymous said on 4/Nov/05
I think that from looking at pictures of her next to people she is probably 5'7 or 5'8. She has never claimed to be taller than 5'8. I think she should be given the benefit of the doubt.
What said on 3/Nov/05
Hi, I am friends with Ben McKenzie. He is 5'7" and Mischa is 5'7". They put her in flats and him in boots on the O.C. When they briefly dated, we all hung out and she is not 5'9". She is very honest about her height at 5'7", which is rare for Hollywood actors. She is also really weirded out by people saying she is taller and celebrities lying so that she feels like she has to lie and say she's taller. She will tell people "I'm 5'8" in flats" to appease it. She is a really sweet girl and a lot more outgoing than you would think.
tybor said on 2/Nov/05
In that pic nate just posted mischa seems to be seriously slouching as if to look the same height as melinda. If you look closely her knees are bent awkwardly and her shoulders are really slumped forward. Its so unattractive when tall girls slouch like that.
Leite said on 1/Nov/05
I think mischa is more than 5'10 becouse she's the tallest woman in every picture, she totally dwarfs the other women. I've never seen Mischa with a taller woman. DOES ANYBODY HAVE SEEN MISCHA SHORTER THAN A WOMAN?
ara said on 1/Nov/05
I think Mischa's height is probably around 5'9.75(1.77m) according to all the pictures I've seen.
Lucio said on 31/Oct/05
If Rachel Bilson is 5'2 Mischa will be 5'10 or more...I think she's taller than Nicole Kidman! Anonymous, have you ever seen mischa next to a taller woman?
Danny said on 29/Oct/05
Mischa is at least 5'9.25 176cm without doubt she's always in flats
- said on 18/Oct/05
Yeah i think 5'8 is about right for her!She always says she thinks shes too tall but if she was that paranoyed she woundnt ever were 4 inch heels,which shes spotted in regualry.Iam 5'8 too and feel thats a bit too tall to were 4in heels thought also tell ppl iam 5'7 to give the ilsusion am achuly not that tall in heels.I dont really care much now as being tall is bad for all the small guys but great for the atention.I think Mischa should be honest and says yeah am tall and be proud.Bettr than being a migdet :P !!
Anonymous said on 15/Oct/05
lookin at mischa in soo many magazines on the red carpet i think her height is round 5ft8half (1.74cm) no not 5ft10 that would be too tall for her body proportions because being 5ft10 myself I can tell by the length of her body and arms i do reckon her body is longer than her legs and she is ultra slim so she would give off being taller.
Danny said on 14/Oct/05
Don't be ridiculous zephyr you probably are intimidated because she a tall girl but 5'8 is just to small for her she at least 175 or slightly above but she definitely not 180
zephyr said on 11/Oct/05
I really think shes around 5'8" maybe a bit taller but no more than 5'9". Her thin body is what throws u off. I remember when I saw Paris Hilton on T.V. I thought she was like 5'10" but she's 5'8". In both Paris's and Mischa's case, it's their super lean bodies which make them look taller than they are. And, in her case, it also helps to look taller when you have co-stars like Rachel Bilson and Ben Mckenzie.
Catherine said on 8/Oct/05
She looks 5'8.Plus she looks like the same height as Paris Hilton.Her lankiness throws you off.Plus as a kid growing up she was probably tall for her age.I am so used to slouching because at 9 I was 5'6 and taller than my teacher,so you get used to slouching cause you feel so self-conscious ,so you keep the tall girl syndrome forever even when you aren't super tall anymore.I am now 5'8 and still slouch.Plus look at her she is always wearing heels when she is not on the OC (it is extremely clear that Ben is very short,probably even shorter than Tom Cruise,plus Ben is always wearing boots).When I see her on tv or in mags wearing heels she looks tall but not very tall.5'8 is considered tall but not extremely tall.It is tall enough to model.She has a long torso but not long legs.Long torso can give the appearance of being very tall.I would give her 5'8.5 tops she is definitely no 5'10.Considering Rachel Bilson is like 5'1-5'2(tops) and always wearing 3 inch heels or wedges Mischa wearing flats will still be considerably taller than her. 5'8.5(tops) is suited for her and Terri Hatcher 5'5(on Louis and Clark she was quite short looking and I doubt she had a growth spurt at her age).Mischa is tall enough to model but she is not very tall like 5'10.She is not taller than Katie Holmes from looking at her on OC and walking around normally and awards stuff 5'10 or 5'9 is too much for her to me.5'8.5 seems fitting.
Kat said on 2/Oct/05
In reply to gillian_leigh13, I have a pair of shoes similar to Jessie's and they have at least a one inch heel. A poster on Jesse's board thought that Jesse and Mischa would be very close in height if they weren't wearing shoes. I would agree. I think the height difference would be within one and a half inches. But I could'nt say for sure whether Mischa would be shorter, taller, or about the same height as Jesse.

However,I read somewhere that her publicist gave her height as 5'8 a poster here said that she said her height was 5'8 in May. And she looks around 5'8 to me. Given that I still think she is around 5'8.
~Nate~ said on 2/Oct/05
Ok the more I look at pics of Mischa and see her looking eye to eye with Jay Leno the more I think she's taller then 5'9! And in that Jesse pic did anyone notice she was bending down? Shes at least 5'9.5 I say!
gillian_leigh13 said on 2/Oct/05
I think she isn't lying about her height.. she's 5'7! Because in those pics compared to Jesse McCartney at the TCA, if u took 3 inches off her for her heels she would be about two inches shorter than Jesse there.. and Jesse is 5'9.
Also the shoes Jesse wore wouldn't have made him much taller at all.. mabye a cm taller... not a whole inch!
anonymous said on 23/Sep/05
I don't think she is as tall as 5'9 or but there was a few moments on the O.C. last night where she appeared as tall or taller than Ben and she wasn't wearing heels. However, there seems to be a general consensus on Ben's thread that he is shorter than his official height.
... said on 23/Sep/05
mischa barton is taller then ben how can you not see that ? she is ALWAYS wearing flats unless they go to some special occasion with their parents or something . she is probly 5'9 or 5'10
Kat said on 18/Sep/05
She doesn't look as short as 5'7 to me but she doesn't look as tall as 5'9. So I think she is probably around 5'8.
~Nate~ said on 17/Sep/05
Ok Mischa is NEVER in heels on the OC the only time when she is is at times where they are at a wedding which has been twice the whole two seasons. And Mischa is a bit taller then Ben even when they are both wearing shoes you can tell. I say Mischa is about a 5'9 girl, no less then 5'9.
Kathryn said on 15/Sep/05
One thing I am certainly is that Mischa isn't 5ft7in (170cm) as she said when asked. Just by seeing her on T.V.(TheOC) u can see she is significantly taller than 170cm, as comparing with the other actresses that we know is 170cm like Charisma Carpenter.If she really had 5ft7in she wouldn't think she is too tall, as someone here wrote and she has bad posture probably consequence of being shy of being taller than lots of people(specially than men). She probably said she is 5ft7in, because she is SOMEWHERE close to this perfect hight for woman, which she WISHED she had. Anyway... Let's do something else than entering this sites and specially writing this things. Go do something usefull, like being volunteer for something good!!
mcfan said on 4/Sep/05
She sure doesn't look 5'9...more like 5'8.
blah said on 17/Aug/05
in a magazine it says shes 5'8 and she probalby is.. she just looks really tall cuz shes so skinny and bersides why would she lie about her height? the taller you are the more she would look like a model..
Mr. Awesome said on 12/Aug/05
maybe so, Me...I bet she is downbplaying her height from all that I have been able to gather and all that's been presented here....as a male who's a hair shy of 5'8'', I'd be glad to take a couple of your extra inches for ya heh
Me said on 12/Aug/05
It is difficult to tell...it is likely that she is playing down her height. I'm a 16 year old girl who is 5ft 10 nearly 5ft 11 and still growing...all my friends are short and this can make you really uncomfortable especially when people make a big deal about it! No wonder she has bad posture, she could just be self-conscious. I've been teased for years about my excessively long legs.
J. said on 30/Jul/05
She's pretty tall. I think she plays down her height in order to make her shortish male "OC" co-stars seem bigger.
Danny said on 17/Jul/05
Either Mischa or Ben M. is not being truthful about their real height. He lists himself I Believe at about 5’9 and Mischa says she is around 5’8. On the “OC”, she is noticeably taller than him, and she is usually wearing flat shoes, while he has on boots. I would say she is a good 2-3 inches taller than him. My guess is she is probably around 5’8, and maybe he is only about 5’6
Di said on 9/Jul/05
There actually is no minimum height for modeling. For the CATWALK, you have to be at least 5'8"-5'9", but I've heard of fashion models going all the way down to 5'3" and petite models are sometimes even shorter.
glow said on 7/Jul/05
for some reason i'm pretty sure it was in 2001 that she said she was 5'7. she would have been about 15 by then. can she really have grown 2-3 inches after that age? 1-1.5 inches maybe, any more seems a little unrealistic for a teenage girl.
Mr. X said on 6/Jul/05
Does anyone know when was Mischa measured at 5'7"? That photo with Teri Hatcher is compelling, but we would probably need a wider shot of the same photo, or another picture of those two again to know for sure. She could be 5'9" or 5'10", but I'm not sure. She was shorter than Jessica Pare in that 2001 movie Lost and Delirious, and Jessica gets listed as 5'9". Plus she looks about an inch taller than both Melinda Clarke and Olivia Wilder on O.C., both of which gets listed as 5'7".
Gigy said on 21/Jun/05
I will admit, that having bad posture does shorten ones heights, and Mischa Barton is a clear case of that! So I am willing to admit that she could be somewhere near 5'10, the last end of 5'9, but that is realy hard to tell, cos she does have bad posture! You can see it from that picture with Tery Hatcher!
Gigy! said on 20/Jun/05
I would say she is 5'8 feet, either 172 or 173 cm! She is clearly shorter than Ben McKenzie, whom I am placing between 174 and 175 cm!
And she does wear high healls, more often than flats in fact, and due to her slender looks, she does look higher than her height, and as ´Smoke´ said, she is tall, but not super tall by any stretch!
Plus the reason Ben has to wear boots, when tanding next to M. Barton, is because, and as old fashioned as this sounds it is still true, guys should be shorter looking the girls! They sould at least be 5 cm taller! So when they are around the same height you create the illusion as if the guy is taller! And that´s why Ben has to wear boots!
charmed said on 8/Jun/05
i think mischa is definitely no less than 174cm, she's always wearing flats on the oc, i dont think ive seen her in heels on that show! she must be the same height or slightly taller than ben, who definitely wears high heeled boots!! i think she's gorgeous and should not be ashamed of her height!
lookalike said on 22/May/05
exactly! kath is so right.. ben ALWAYS wears boots and is still shorter than mischa when she is wearing flats! i think mischa is absolutely beautiful and shouldnt be ashamed of her height! lots of people would kill for her appearance!
bigman said on 15/May/05
adam brody from the oc is 177cm
Living Shoe Lift said on 18/Mar/05
Actually, 5'8 is the minimum height for modelling (in America at least). Have you noticed that she wears these flat-heeled footwear resembling ballet shoes in the O.C.?
gossipgirl said on 6/Mar/05
I'm 5,10 (178cm) and I know that you have to be at least 175cm to be a model (5,9) I know Mischa did modelling therfore I guess she is at least 5,9 (175cm) even possibly taller! Yay I'm as tall as her! LOL
