Barton received good reviews for portraying the lead role of Devon Stockard, a rich 10-year-old girl who befriends a lawn boy (played by Sam Rockwell), in John Duigan's Lawn Dogs (1997). She then became Cameron Van Hoy's girlfriend in Ash's Pups (1999). Barton closed the end of the decade with supporting roles in two blockbusters, playing the ghost of a poisoned girl in M Night Shyamalan's thriller The Sixth Sense (starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment) and as a 12-year-old actress in Roger Michell's romantic comedy Notting Hill (starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant).
