  • The true story of the Osmond Family. I have been blessed in my lifetime to have personally known Mr. George Virl Osmond and Mrs. Olive Davis Osmond, and to have been an honored guests in their home. I have also been blessed to meet Alan, Wayne, Merril, Jay, and Jimmy Osmond, as well as, 6 of Alan's boys - Michael, David, Scott, Jon, Alex, and Tyler.
    I purchased this video from Mrs. Osmond several years ago and share it here as entertainment for all to enjoy and as a tribute to two of the greatest parents that I have ever know besides my own.

    This is by far one of the best TV movies about the Osmonds I have ever seen! And Marie portrayal of her mother was absolutely amazing and gorgeous!

      "Kelleymarie Jones" I don't know enough about how the real Olive Osmond was in real life but Marie Osmond's portrayal is embellished and Marie was made to have more a glamorous and dainty look .Mrs. Osmond was actually a woman of the 1940s and had a rugged and robust country woman look to her.

      ​​@@obscurelyvaguebut even rugged robust women of the 40s didn't go out in public without their "go to town" clothes, hair do & lipstick! My Mom & grandma were those woman! One of my grandma's grew up & had her brood in 1 room cabins, made the bread & meals, then we all went fishing!❤ But she was also the towns Avon lady & fixed up for "going to town" or dealing with the public! So Marie showing her Mom put together was a part of how they lived! Often regardless of income or class! They didn't waste time watch TV all night & having their face in screens all day! They actually worked & cared about their appearance! ❤ MY Mom can hunt, butcher the deer & cook it up, sew the most breathtaking wedding gowns & clothes, raise the babies, & still look put together! Frankly I don't know how they did it! Raising my brood I felt I often looked a mess with my hair flying! But Mom would say, where is your lipstick? 😂😂❤

    My sister Mary had the “One Bad Apple” album when she was about 13 or 14. Around that time her best friend was moving to a different state and since they both loved Donny so much, my sister gave her friend the album as a keepsake to remember her by.
    Mary passed away last January with dementia at age 57. Up until the end she still loved Donny, and still remembered giving her album away.
    Rest In Peace my sweet sister. I miss you sooo much! ❤️🙏

    I met and had a great night with the Osmonds when they were at the Hotel Diplomat in Hollywood , Fla. Marie and Mr & Mrs Osmond by the front desk in the Cafe where the guys sang. Got a picture signed for my cousin. Mrs Osmond was kind enough to talk with me all evening . She took my address and phone number. Some weeks later she called...I was not home. BUT...Grandma said they had a wonderful long conversation. Said they traded a few good recipes. Said it was nice to talk to someone from the 'Old School' . That was one of two times I met the Osmonds. The Miami concert I met Mrs Osmond . I was pushed into the metal gate and got a bruise on my temple. Mrs O came right over and had to make sure I was ok. Grandma was there and said simply, "Once a Mom...always a Mom. Does not matter who's child it is."

      1:14:42 It seems useless to me that the dad made his boys apologize to each other.
      Unless it is within each of their hearts then they only did as they were told because they had to.
      They will only continue to feel the same resentment toward each other inside.
      I once had an argument with a doorman in the building where I work. He was rude to me. I told the doorman's supervisor about it who then said that he spoke with the doorman but he wants me and the doorman to shake hands and apologize to each other. I refused. I only agreed to avoid the doorman as much as possible so as to avoid conflict. The supervisor said that whoever refuses to shake hands and make up is the true coward and the person whose fault everything is. Heck I am far from being a juvenile and I must be 2 times the age of the doorman and I saw no reason to pretend when the doorman would only go back to being rude to me.
      Apologizing has to be heart felt, not some ritual so someone else can check a box and say the problem is solved.

    Feb 7, 2020: Thanks for sharing this movie! I've watched it several times; a sweet story! My first boyfriend and the true love of my life, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, was killed in an auto accident on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Returning to Albuquerque from a long work week at the Farmington mines, he tragically rolled his 240Z Datsun. Manuel trained as a Marine at Camp Pendleton (radio operator), served a year in Okinawa and was a member of the VFW, Catholic Church & Carpenters Union. Still in high school, we exchanged letters often. By the time I graduated, I knew I had fallen in love with him. My mother never approved. Then....he was gone. Manuel graduated from West Mesa High School in 1970 and participated in track & field. Manuel's shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and strong work ethic were endearing traits to those of us who loved him. KATRINA

I really liked the TV series that Marie did called maybe this time very enjoyable. When the Osmonds came onto the scene I was busy being a youth and the Beatles for the big thing at that time of my life. But now that I’m older I am thoroughly enjoying anything The Osmonds have done

    I know that Mrs. Osmond loved all her children equally, but I have to imagine her thrill to finally get one little girl out of all the boys ! And did not know there were so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren ! Has it ever been documented online the ratio of girls to boys in the grands and great-grands ??

      @@scootergurl48 Mormons are not Christians. They are considered a cult because they follow the Book of Mormon: another Testament of Jesus Christ, which contains the teachings of their founder, Joseph Smith. He claimed that an angel named Moroni appeared to him and gave him a new revelation, which the Mormons believe ranks higher than the Bible. Their Book of Mormon has been rewritten and altered many times from the original so-called "revelation." It contains some very strange teachings, including that Jesus and Satan (Lucifer) are brothers (both sons of God) from the planet Kolab. True Christians believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God and our only authority. The Bible teaches that all humans are born into this world as sinners (enemies of God) and in need of a Savior from God's just punishment that we deserve. We cannot save ourselves by good works. Salvation is a gift given by God's grace alone though faith in Jesus Christ for God's glory.

      Mumsie Thank you for your interesting information. Much of what you said I already knew, but there were some things that you mentioned that I did not know, things that are very important in following Christianity and not some cult. I once had a boyfriend who was LDS and he took me to some of their Friday night dances. They were the nicest, most honest, and decent people you could ever know. Saddens me that this is their faith. The Osmonds are also good, kind, decent folks who, sadly, follow in this cult. A crying shame, isn't it? Joseph Smith's claims would not be something that would make me convert. Three Mormon young men came to my door once and asked me about my beliefs. I asked if they had a Book of Mormon that I could read and they left me one. I read it for about 5 minutes and thought what nonsense and never read it again.

    While it's a stretch to compare George Osmond to Joe Jackson (to the point that Donny was unwilling to do so, mainly out of respect for his own father), there are a fair share of similarities between the two.
    -Neither had much of a childhood.
    -Both married a woman who was born on May 4. (Olive Osmond was born on May 4, 1925, and Katherine Jackson was born on May 4, 1930)
    -Both wanted their children to be more successful then they were, thus pushing them very hard, and being fiercely critical.
    -Both raised their children and managed their music group with a severe sense of discipline and long hours of rehearsal. (Although one specific difference between the two, was George Osmond's discipline was more of a military type that occasionally became physical, while Joe's discipline was notorious physical/mental abuse).
    -Both fathers objected to their older sons marrying young, fearing its impact on the group, but were forced to relent.
    -They both (well Joe mostly) saw the other group as rivals, but they maintained civil terms with each other.
    -The most famous of the sons, were the 7th son of each (Donny/Michael), who ultimately became buddies with each other, in the 1970's, and when they both became fathers, they both were desperate to let their kids have the childhood they both missed out on.
    The main difference between the two fathers was George focused on family first, while Joe focused on business first.
