Marie Osmond

Marie Osmond was part of a performing family, but she eventually decided to pursue a solo career in the ’70s. Her first solo hit was Paper Roses, which became extremely successful. A lot of people don’t know this, but she is also an amazing businesswoman and author. Unfortunately, she went through some difficulties in her personal life when she experienced postpartum depression due to a bad reaction to a medication she was taking. In 2010, she also had to hire a lawyer to help her get rid of media scrutiny following her son passed away.

Osmond was born to a family of nine children in Ogden, Utah, and she was the eighth and the only daughter of Olive May and George Virl Osmond. Her brothers maintained a career in showbiz from an early age. They performed on national TV and achieved widespread success. Osmond’s mother persuaded the then young Marie to try her hand at singing, too, and as luck would have it, she was a natural.
