MISCHA BARTON TO BECOME PRODUCER

Mischa Barton wants to become a film producer like Drew Barrymore - so she can take the best roles. The 21-year-old beauty is fed-up with the lack of "great female roles" in Hollywood, and plans to emulate her idol Drew by making her own movies. Mischa said: "Producing is something I might see as a necessity because great film roles are difficult to come by. "I admire a lot of women like Drew Barrymore who produce themselves and put together great projects. It's certainly the best way of making sure you get top roles on movies that interest you." Drew, 32, set up Flower Films with friend Nancy Juvonen in 1995. They have since produced a series of hits including 'Charlie's Angels', 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle', '50 First Dates' and 'Music and Lyrics', all of which Drew starred in herself. Mischa can soon be seen playing feisty schoolgirl JJ French alongside British stars Colin Firth and Rupert Everett in 'St. Trinian's', due out next month. Next year, she will appear as young lesbian Lana Starkova in 'You and I (finding t.A.T.u)', in which she finds love at a t.A.T.u pop concert and gets swept into a dangerous world of violence and drugs.
