Biography
Marie Osmond was born Olive Marie Osmond on October 13, 1959, in Ogden, Utah. She is the eighth of nine siblings and the only female child of Olive May and George Virl Osmond. Her brothers, Virl, Tom, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, and Jimmy, constituted the famous Osmond Brothers singing group. Virl and Tom were born with hearing impairments. The family nurtured their children in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Marie’s brothers gained fame on The Andy Williams Show in the 1960s, prompting the family to relocate to Los Angeles.
Marie debuted on television in The Andy Williams Show when she was four years old. Growing up in a musically inclined household, she frequently sang and harmonized with her brothers. As a child, she shared a special bond with Donny, referring to them as “energetic playmates.” Marie began recording country music at 13. Her 1973 rendition of “Paper Roses” became a number-one country smash, making her the youngest female artist to lead the chart.
In the 1970s, Marie and Donny co-hosted their own variety series, Donny & Marie (1976–1979), which became hugely popular. The Osmond family lost a significant portion of their wealth in the early 1980s due to poor investments. Marie pursued a solo variety show, Marie (1980–1981), but it was short-lived. She returned to country music and signed with Capitol Records in 1985. Between 1985 and 1990, she achieved three number-one country singles and released hit albums like There’s No Stopping Your Heart (1985).
In the 1990s, Marie launched a successful line of collectible dolls sold on QVC. She made her Broadway debut in The King and I in 1994. She also rekindled her partnership with Donny for the talk show Donny & Marie (1998–2000). During this time, Marie candidly discussed her postpartum depression after the birth of her son Matthew and subsequently authored the book Behind the Smile: My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression (2001).
Marie and Donny performed together in a Las Vegas residency at the Flamingo Hotel from 2008 to 2019. She released solo albums including I Can Do This (2010), Music Is Medicine (2016), and Unexpected (2021), which is a classical crossover album. Marie co-hosted The Talk (2019–2020) and took part in Lifetime TV movies such as The Christmas Edition (2020). She has openly addressed personal struggles, including postpartum depression, childhood sexual abuse (detailed in her 2001 book), and the 2010 suicide of her adopted son Michael.
