The OC 20: Kirsten Cohen

Movie Friends ·

2023/08/24

We're just gonna say it: Without Kirsten Cohen there is no season one of The OC. She might not be the flashiest character, but her choices and relationships are integral to how things move forward and she does it all her own, Kirsten way. Portrayed by the wonderful Kelly Rowan, Kirsten was a mother and wife character for a new generation of television.
