About
Often thought of as a Caucasian version of the Jackson 5, the Osmonds are a Mormon family of Colgate-polished smiles who took over bubblegum pop music in the early '70s, with youngest singer Donny as the main attraction (as was Michael of the Jacksons). After the family's popularity began to wane and pages of Tiger Beat magazine began to yellow, Donnie and his younger sister Marie enjoyed a few seasons of hosting their own variety show on prime time television. Other members of the family have gone on to pursue careers in country music.
