Mischa Barton hospitalized under psych hold
Police reportedly respond to star’s L.A. home to assist with ‘medical issue’
A rep for Mischa Barton confirmed to Access Hollywood that the actress will not attend the world premiere of her new film, “Homecoming,” Thursday night in New York.
July 16, 2009
LOS ANGELES - Mischa Barton was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold (also known as a 5150) by the Los Angeles Police Department and transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday evening, a source close to the situation claimed to Access Hollywood.
On Wednesday, Access broke the news that authorities had responded to the Los Angeles home of the starlet after receiving a non-911 call from her residence around 3 p.m. A patrol car responded to the scene and began assisting Barton with a “medical issue,” a spokesperson for the LAPD confirmed to Access on Wednesday evening.
The source claimed that Barton was placed under Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code by police and transported to Cedars-Sinai.
According to the code, authorities can hold a person involuntarily if they present a danger to themselves or others, are gravely disabled or suffer from a mental disorder. This same code was used to hold Britney Spears twice in Los Angeles in January 2008.

That candid above, no real make up, freckles showing, I like it. She's got a nice smile.
Nope. In Missouri just south of KC.
Any young actor that wants to learn to study "The Bard" and act in his plays, is committed to their craft.

Same here.
I like to consider myself reasonably up-to-speed on Hollywood and that sort of stuff - but I’ve never heard of her.
More than likely, a suicide attempt or threat of one.
ring on index finger is a sure sign of trouble...
Not bad at all!
She was on some show ... can’t remember name ... like Bev Hills 90210 only some other hollywood reference.
She was excruciatingly thin for a while ... probably anorexic.
Doesn’t look bad in the swimsuit pic though.
Okay, I’ll bite; what does a ring on the index (does it matter which one?) finger mean?
it has been my observation (in toooo damn many cases) that people who wear rings on their thumb and or index finger are extremely high maintenance and unstable personality types...
