Marie Osmond was born on October 13, 1959, in Ogden, Utah. As the only girl among nine children, she was introduced to show business at a young age. Her brothers were already performing on national television, and she quickly joined them. In 1962, The Osmonds became regulars on The Andy Williams Show, and a few years later, a young Marie joined them. Her mother believed that she, too, should pursue a music career, inspired by her brother Donny’s success. At just 12 years old, she embarked on her first recording session, describing it as a terrifying experience. Her debut single, «Paper Roses,» released when she was 14, became a massive success, reaching the top of the US country charts and the Top 5 on the Billboard pop chart.
Marie Osmond’s talent on stage eventually led her to star alongside her brother Donny, with the two hosting the successful TV show «Donny & Marie.» The show, which began in 1975, featured the siblings singing, co-hosting, and concluded with their iconic song «May Tomorrow Be a Perfect Day.» The show also welcomed guest stars such as Chuck Berry, Paul Anka, Sonny & Cher, and Olivia Newton-John.
After their successful TV run, Donny and Marie later reunited for an 11-year stint in Las Vegas, singing and dancing at the Flamingo Resort, concluding in 2019. Marie Osmond’s career continued to thrive, making her an international star in the music industry. She achieved multiple platinum and gold-selling records and won awards from prestigious organizations like the Country Music Association (CMA).
