Shortly after her stint in a Los Angeles mental ward, Barton headed to New York to film A Beautiful Life. The surgery was to take out all four of her wisdom teeth.
"I've never had surgery before — it all went wrong and I had to have a second surgery and it almost delayed shooting."

Barton also admitted to bouts of depression: "I was down in the dumps about everything there for a while. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom about things and have to get the most stressed-out just to feel better again. I got completely stressed-out and couldn’t handle everything, and now I feel really in control."
