Words are, the cast and crew of 'Law and Order: Special Victims Unit' have lost their patience with the Marissa Cooper of 'The O.C.' because she kept messing up her lines during filming.

Mischa Barton has drawn criticism for her "unprofessionalism" on the set of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". Radar Online reported that a source has claimed the 23-year-old actress annoyed the cast and crew of the NBC crime show when shooting her guest-starring part on Tuesday, January 19.

The Marissa Cooper of "The O.C." reportedly has turned the filming of one scene into a 10-hour day because she kept on messing her lines. "She only had seven lines, seven!" the source told Radar. "Each time she would mess up she would forget her lines and Mariska [Hargitay] kept prompting her and saying 'it's your line Mischa'."

Although the source further noted that Mischa did apologize for every time she made the mistake, the crew only managed to get one scene shot for the entire day of filming. Still, the source added that the star of "The Beautiful Life: TBL" who brought her little dog to the set looked pretty and "happy when she was playing with the dog".

Mischa Barton has been revealed as a guest star on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" in early January. In an episode to be aired in March 3 after the Winter Olympics, she will take on the role of a hooker named Gladys. TV Guide reported that "Mischa's character is hiding a secret that will prove complicating for Mariska Hargitay's Benson."
