Is Marie Osmond still a Mormon?

She seems awfully laid back for one. Maybe her show business experience has mellowed her because I just can't imagine her wearing magic underwear and judging gays or gentiles considering her background.

by Anonymousreply 103March 25, 2019 8:54 PM

She still considers herself a Moron - I mean Morman. She also has a gay daughter and she had a hard time accepting that.

Did you know she was the first choice to play Sandy for GREASE? But she refused to dress up like a skank for the last scene, so she turned down the part.

I have it on good authority that she is far more liberal than one might think. She has to play that down a mite bit in public because of her faith and also because Donny is far more conservative than she is and they are currently working together. One day she will actually think for herself and maybe be more open about her own personal system of beliefs. But as things are as of right now, she has to tow the family line because she is bailing Donny (and by association her other brothers as well) out with a thing or two even though she has no personal financial need to work with him. Remember. The Osmond's father screwed up their finances ages ago. Marie bounced back like a son of a bitch but her brothers never really did. Still! Whatever.

George Osmond was convinced that by building their own TV and recording studios, they would not only save money on production but could then MAKE money from renting out the facilities to others. He sank an enormous amount of money into it and the project became a huge money pit that was jokingly referred to as "Osmondia". When it became obvious that the money had been badly invested, Daddy Osmond had to confess to the family that their fortune was largely depleted.

Mormons are all about the money and the heterosex.

The Osmond family has probably financed a gazillion missionaries to third world skank holes.

It is all about being worthy (rich enough) to be afforded your own universe.

It's like spiritual monkey pile with money.

by Anonymousreply 20August 16, 2011 8:11 PM

I thought it was Alan Osmond and one of the other brothers who had the bright idea to sink all their money into that studio venture. I've read that two of the brothers (I think Wayne and Jay) were very skeptical of the whole idea. And from what I remember of Donny's autobiography, their dad was also skeptical but eventually gave in.%0D %0D

I thought she was supportive of her lessie daughter? Seems that way

"In an interview with Los Angeles radio station KOST 103.5 on Monday, Marie Osmond confirmed that her oldest daughter Jessica is a lesbian %E2%80%94 calling her a "magnificent woman" and stating that she supports her daughter and believes in equal rights for gays and lesbians under the law.

Osmond%E2%80%99s public support of her daughter is significant, because Osmond is the highest profile Mormon thus far to come out in support of marriage equality %E2%80%94 or at least giving gay and lesbian couples the same rights afforded to heterosexual couples."

Kinda cool considering.

George Osmond had to pay $Millions$ to an Osmond crew member in Provo. George was caught molesting one of his sons. The investment story was concocted to cover up what was an open secret in Provo.

r9 -- she and her first husband were re-married in the Salt Lake temple recently, so her bishop must have certified her observance as a Mormon. But the LDS church has given the Osmond clan a waiver for years (none of them served as a missionary.) The public reason was that they serve as a living example of the faith, but certainly the poster who mentioned all the missionaries they must have supported (and donations to BYU) helped, as did tithing from their incomes.

The story at the time was that the father lost all their assets in bad investments, altho the info about one or more of the brothers actually having mae the decision is interesting (one of them is deaf and the parents may have gone along with the decision to shore up his self-image.) Donny had to work his butt off performing to get the family back on its feet (maybe Marie was starting her family at the time.)

Marie's oldest son is married now. Marie and her husband Steve remarried in the Las Vegas Temple. They first got married in the Salt Lake Temple.

Jay and Wayne did not want to invest in the Orem, Utah studios. The others wanted to return to Utah. The Osmonds thought Hollywood would come to Utah to film, but they didn't. The studios went belly up. The Osmonds also made other bad investments like walnut orchards. Jimmy is the smart entrepreneur. He invested in Branson and got the others to join him to perform.

The Osmonds had a huge 50th Anniversary tour a few years back. I assume they raked in a lot of money to keep the other brothers solvent now.

The other half of the pair, Marie, is a versatile goddess.

only to the extent to get publicity; the church doesn't seem to reprimand her for the way she dresses, which the temple garments wouldn't allow her to wear; they are a guide for modesty' if you wear certain clothes they would show, so you are supposed to wear clothes that will not disclose the garments(certain length skirts, dresses, shorts and certain types of shirts etc.), but as we all have seen, Marie dresses like an old whore; far too much make-up and wigs and those tight dresses, sometimes showing cleavage and the church allows it because she buys herself into the temple membership; so yes, she is a "Mormon" to fit her purposes and she does not wear her temple garments always as we are told to wear.

Some of these posts really had me laughing. Some of the things said about Marie are true but I still like her and Donny. I saw them in Vegas a couple of years ago and they really put on a good show. All talent, no special effects necessary to fill in for limited or no real talent. They may be from the 70's but they are truly talented. Not like todays "singers" who need to swing from the ceiling or appear from an explosion on stage to distract you and keep you entertained because they really cannot carry a live show on talent alone. Donny and Marie have been in this industry a long time. They know all that goes on in the entertainment industry. Donny does a special tribute to Michael Jackson which I thought was heartfelt and paying honor the the musical genius. Its nice that they still can put on a great performance and give their audience what they paid for.

When he killed himself she would only say that he wasn't gay (a total cop out).

Donny came out against marriage equality & supported the amendment to the US Constitution that dumbass W supported back in 2004. Marie said nothing.
