Marie Osmond has spent more than six decades entertaining millions worldwide through her work in music, television, Broadway, film, authorship, entrepreneurship, and public speaking.
The only daughter in the iconic Osmond family, Marie made her debut at age three on The Andy Williams Show, introduced humorously as "the youngest Osmond brother." At age 12, she recorded her debut solo album, Paper Roses, which launched her into international stardom and made her the youngest female artist to reach No. 1 on two Billboard charts-a record she still holds today.
Marie also became the youngest female to co-host a network television show with the global success Donny & Marie, which aired worldwide and was dubbed into 17 languages. It was during this era that she coined the now-iconic phrase, "I'm a little bit country," a line that became a hallmark of the show and her career.
Since 1973, she has released chart-topping, gold, and platinum albums across multiple genres. Her most recent album, Unexpected, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical Crossover chart and repeatedly returned to the Top 10.
A three-time New York Times best-selling author, Marie gained national attention with her first book, Behind the Smile, which broke new ground in openly discussing severe postpartum depression.
For 17 years, she served as a spokesperson for Nutrisystem, inspiring millions to pursue healthier living.
As a philanthropist, Marie co-founded the Children's Miracle Network, which has raised over $9.5 billion to date and helps more than 17 million children each year.
Mattel selected Marie as the first celebrity to be immortalized as a Barbie doll. She later launched her own line of collectible porcelain dolls, selling millions over the course of 25 years and earning numerous awards as a designer and sculptor.
For her decades of service performing for U.S. troops with the USO and Bob Hope, Marie received the prestigious Secretary of Defense Medal for Outstanding Public Service-the highest honor the Pentagon awards to a civilian.
From 2008 to 2019, she and her brother headlined an 11-year Las Vegas residency, voted the city's No. 1 show. They were recognized by Caesars Entertainment for surpassing the combined total performance of Elvis and Celine, and were awarded both the key to the Las Vegas Strip and a star on the Walk of Stars.
In 2011, Marie remarried her first husband, Stephen Craig, the love of her life. She is the proud mother of eight children and grandmother of nine-roles she considers her greatest achievements.
