Barton has accepted a role in the series A Beautiful Life, being produced by Ashton Kutcher.
"Ashton developed it about his life growing up as a model from Iowa, so it’s about the whole fashion world that he was in, and obviously I have a lot of friends in the fashion world, so I’m used to being around a lot of people in that," Barton told People magazine.
The star will play a supermodel struggling to stay on top.
