She is known for her [[girl next door|girl-next-door]] image and her decades-long career in many different areas. Her musical career, primarily focused on [[country music]], included a large number of chart singles with four reaching number one on the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot Country Songs]] charts. Her 1973 cover of "[[Paper Roses]]," released when she was 14, made her the youngest female act with a number-one country single. Between 1985 and 1986, she also had number-one country singles with "[[Meet Me in Montana]]," "[[There's No Stopping Your Heart (song)|There's No Stopping Your Heart]],", and "[[You're Still New to Me]]." As a television personality, she has been a host of [[Donny & Marie (1976 TV series)|''Donny & Marie'']] (alongside brother [[Donny Osmond]]) and on [[The Talk (talk show)|''The Talk'']]. Her acting career includes appearances in television films and [[Broadway theatre|Broadway musicals]]; she has also written several books and helped found the [[Children's Miracle Network]].
The eighth of nine children in the [[Osmond family]], she made her television debut on ''[[The Andy Williams Show]]''. At age 13, she established a career as a country recording artist. She began recording alongside her brother Donny, leading to the creation of their own syndicated variety show, which aired through 1979. In the early 1980s, the Osmond family lost most of its fortune, and Marie performed alongside her siblings. She also attempted to launch an acting career, experimenting with the variety show ''[[Marie (1980 TV series)|Marie]]''. She then refocused her attention on the country genre and signed a contract with [[Capitol Records]] in 1985. Between 1985 and 1990, she had three number-one singles and released several albums, including ''[[There's No Stopping Your Heart]]'' (1985).
In the 1990s, Osmond established her own collection of dolls, which the [[QVC]] network sold. She made her Broadway debut in ''[[The King and I]]'' in 1994. Between 1998 and 2000, she reunited professionally with Donny for the network talk show ''[[Donny & Marie (1998 TV series)|Donny & Marie]]''. During this period, she publicly spoke about her struggles with [[postpartum depression]], later the focus of her book ''Behind the Smile: My Journey Out of Postpartum Depression''. In 2004, she hosted her own radio series, entitled ''Marie & Friends'' and, in 2007, appeared in a season of ''[[Dancing with the Stars]]''.
She and Donny reunited their act between 2008 and 2019 for a residency at the [[Flamingo Las Vegas|Flamingo hotel]] in [[Las Vegas]]. The show later produced an album of their duets in 2009. In 2010, she returned with the solo studio album ''[[I Can Do This]]''. In 2016, her country album ''[[Music Is Medicine]]'' followed and then, in 2021, came her [[Classical music|classical]] album, ''Unexpected''. Osmond also co-hosted ''The Talk'' between 2019 and 2020. And she appeared in several [[Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime]] television films, such as ''The Christmas Edition'' in 2020.
