Hey there, friends. Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes with one of America’s most beloved entertainers? On Monday, April 20, Marie Osmond, the legendary singer and TV host, gave us a peek into her world during an episode of The Talk. And guess what? She’s not just a singer, TV personality, or author—she’s also an antique doll collector. Yes, you heard that right. Marie has an extensive collection of dolls that she’s designed over the years, and it’s nothing short of spectacular. So, let’s dive in and explore this fascinating side of her life.
Marie’s Doll Collection: A Journey Through Time
At 60 years young, Marie took her cohosts on a delightful tour of her curio cabinet filled with antique figurines. “Here are some of the dolls I designed through the years,” she explained, her voice brimming with pride. “I’ve been designing dolls for 25 years now.” As she pointed to her shelves, she shared a little history lesson. “Up here, there’s some fun memorabilia—most of it’s in Vegas—but I have on the top shelf, can you see this?” She paused, letting the anticipation build. Her collection isn’t just about dolls; it’s a treasure trove of memories from her illustrious career.

As Sharon Osbourne, Carrie Ann Inaba, Sheryl Underwood, and Eve sat in awe, Marie showcased her impressive collection. She pointed out each piece with excitement, like a proud parent showing off their child’s artwork. “There’s the Donny & Marie stuff,” she said, gesturing to the shelves. “I was a puppet… there’s that terrible black and white book… there’s the camera, the modeling doll… can you see this? There’s Donny and Marie—I had Donny & Marie doll patterns… one of my favorites was I was a little golden book.” Her passion for her collection was palpable, and the co-hosts couldn’t help but be swept up in her enthusiasm.
