Actress Mischa Barton was seen spotted looking healthy and smiling when arriving at JFK Airport with her dog Ziggy. This is her first public appearance since she was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles earlier this month.

Mischa, who was released from the hospital this weekend, is in New York to start filming her new TV show, which was created by fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, titled “The Beautiful Life”. The 23 year-old actress will play a catwalk beauty addicted to pills – in this case, we hope art does not imitate life!
