Mischa Barton is glad that her character in The O.C. was killed off instead of doing some kind of "lame farewell".
Barton's character, Marissa Cooper, dies in the arms of her boyfriend Ryan Atwood after he drives his sports utility vehicle off the road. The third season's closer aired in America earlier this week.
Barton told Newsweek magazine about her reaction to Marissa's departure from the show: "Well, I was really excited that I get to die, to be honest. I've done pretty much everything else with the character. It was better than one of those lame farewells."
Although rumours have been flying that Barton was ready to quit the show and move on, Mischa maintains that the decision to kill Marissa was taken by the show's producers.
"But I really think it's best to do movies now," said Barton, who co-stars with Hayden Christensen in Guilty Pleasures slated for release next year.
She also has other plans for her future career: "I was also thinking of spending a month in London, living there and taking a course in acting. Sometimes it's nice to go back to your roots."
