The only daughter of George and Olive Osmond and the 7th of their 9 children, Marie has released many albums and appeared on television for over 40 years. She has had hits as a solo singer and with her brother, Donny Osmond.
In October, 1999 she disclosed her treatment for severe bout of postpartum depression, following the birth of her child, Matthew. She became so despondent that she left her husband and kids, planning never to return. She reconsidered later when her husband reached her by cell phone.
A regular on QVC, where her "Marie Osmond Fine Porcelain Collector Dolls" is the shopping network's top-selling doll line, she has 8 children (5 adopted). Perhaps the only dent in her squeaky-clean image is her divorce; she has admitted to a not-always smooth relationship with her current husband, a producer.
Marie is the co-founder of Children's Miracle Network with actor John Schneider.
