Overview

Donny Osmond made his television debut at age 5, performing "You Are My Sunshine" on the Andy William's Show, while Marie was introduced at age 3 under the spotlight of her brothers' fame. They joined their 7 siblings, The Osmond Brothers, one of the top pop numbers of the '70's, and performed world-wide. In 1974, Donny and Marie became TV's most famous siblings when they landed their own television program, "The Donny and Marie Show." But after 68 episodes, they went their separate ways, pursuing individual career paths. Donny discusses his music career, family and his struggle with "social phobia," an anxiety disorder, and Marie talks about her divorce, getting- re-married and how she is now the proud mother of seven children. The two have joined forces again, hosting their talk show, the "Donny and Marie Show"-- still striving to dazzle audiences throughout the world. Includes interviews with Donny and Marie Osmond, their family and friends.
