Lalaine

For six months Lalaine's song "You Wish", written for the movie of the same name, was in the Top 30 Radio Disney songs. She is the co-founder of Children's Miracle Network with actor John Schneider. She has been working with Radio Disney, performing her songs all over Southern California, and went to Hawaii with Disney's Imagineers. Currently, Marie hosts her own radio show, Marie and Friends, a nationally syndicated program. Lalaine wrote six songs on the album herself, including "Life is good","Can't Stop", and "Save Myself". The film was produced by Jimmy Osmond. On July 8, 2003, Lalaine released her new independent album,"Lalaine: Inside Story". She appeared as herself in the 2001 TV movie Inside the Osmonds, which showed how the brothers' egos, their father's fiscal mismanagement, and the family's quest to build a multi-media empire led to their downfall.

In addition to her acting career, Lalaine is involved in many charity events, such as the AIDS benefit concert and NSYNC's challenge for the youth. She returned to television with brother Donny in 1998 to cohost the Donny and Marie Show, a talk/entertainment show that lasted two seasons. Lalaine also portrayed "Chloe", a young Slayer-In-Training who commits suicide, on the hit TV-Series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She garnered rave reviews as Anna in "The King and I" and Maria in "The Sound of Music" in the mid 90s, taking a break from her country music success. She starred alongside AJ Trauth in the Disney Channel original movie You Wish as "Abby". She also starred in the TV movies "The Gift of Love" and "I Married Wyatt Earp". She also played orphan "Kate" in the Disney Channel version of the movie Annie. Marie played her mother in the TV movie Side by Side: The True Story of the Osmond Family.

Lalaine's voice has been used for many movies, including Inspector Gadget and Lolita. She has also admitted to a not-always smooth relationship with her current husband. She also participated in a theater play in her home state, called Brundibar. Perhaps the only dent in her squeaky-clean image is her divorce after 2 years of marriage (her religion, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints discourages divorce; her older brother, Tom, divorced his first wife). When Lalaine returned to California, she was able to act in several television commercials, including some of those for Microsoft and Burger King. A regular on QVC, where her "Marie Osmond Fine Porcelain Collector Dolls" is its top-selling line, she has 8 children (5 adopted). In it, she played Eponine, a character that has also been played by Debbie Gibson among others. Her husband eventually reached her by cell phone, and convinced her to come home.

Lalaine's road to stardom began when she was she was hanging out with Nikki Alberto and she found a job at the Broadway production of Les Miserables. She became so despondent, she left her family, planning never to return. She is a Eurasian of three quarters Filipino and one quarter Spanish descent. In October 1999, she disclosed she suffered from severe postpartum depression following the birth of her son. Lalaine grew up in California. She and Donny also had a hit variety show, Donny & Marie (1976-1979). Lalaine played "Miranda Isabella Sanchez" on Disney Channel's highly-rated show, Lizzie McGuire, alongside Hilary Duff. She has charted with her brother Donny ("I'm Leaving It All Up To You"; "Deep Purple"), Dan Seals ("Meet Me in Montana"), and Paul Davis ("I Only Wanted You").
