Marie is a woman who can hold her own—she's the only girl in a family with eight brothers! Marie was just 3 years old when she danced her way into America's hearts on The Andy Williams Show. At 13, Marie was the first female artist to debut on the country charts at number one with her song "Paper Roses." As a teenager, she was already a Grammy-nominated star.

Aside from her two eldest brothers, who were hearing imparied, Marie was soon the only family member not involved in the music business. After the initial success of The Osmonds in 1970, Marie's older brother Donny Osmond was gaining success as a solo artist on the Pop Music charts and was becoming a teen idol.The Osmonds' management convinced Marie to try her hand as well. She signed with the family's record label, MGM Records and began making concert appearances with The Osmonds. Her style was more directed towards country music, in contrast with her brothers' pop music.

George Osmond, patriarch to the Osmond family's singing group, The Osmond Brothers, died Tuesday at age 90. Family spokesman Kevin Sasaki said Osmond died at his home in Provo, Utah. Because he had not been ill, he likely died from natural causes incident to his age, Sasaki said.
