Like many stars that have come out of her era, Marie Osmond has seen tragedy. Her adopted son Michael has struggled mightily with depression and substance abuse and was checked into a rehab center in 2007. Unfortunately, the rehab center proved not enough.
In 2010, at only eighteen years old, Michael took his own life when he jumped from a building. He left a note detailing his struggle with depression. The Osmond family was deeply affected, and Marie stayed out of the public eye for some time.
Robby Benson
Throw a dart at a big sheet of movies from the seventies, and you're likely to hit Robby Benson. Let's see, he's been in "Jory," "Jeremy," "Ode to Billy Joe," "Wait Until Dark," "The Rothschilds," "Death Be Not Proud," "Lucky Lady," "One on One," "The Death of Richie," "The End," "Ice Castles," "Die Laughing," "Tribute," and "The Chosen." He was also in "Search for Tomorrow," a show running 71-72.
You almost certainly know Benson for the voice-work he did for Disney's "Beauty and the Beast." What character was he? Why the Beast himself! He's also written a bestselling novel, "Who Stole the Funny?: A Novel of Hollywood," which came out in 2007.
Marie Osmond
While the single Osmond sister was never part of the band, Marie found fame of her own just by relation. She would gain her own true success when she began to release country-pop songs and had a huge hit with “Paper Roses.” She was also known for her popular variety show with brother Donny.
Marie still performs music and appears on television. She's been very candid about her struggle with postpartum depression and has also written a book about it. Marie has seven children, so we imagine she has plenty to say about it. She publicly supports LGBTQ rights.
Did Marie Osmond Have Plastic Surgery?
I'm sorry, I thought this was about child stars, not tabloid chatter. Well, whatever. Many people think that Marie Osmond has gotten plastic surgeries, like a facelift, botox, lip fillers, and “various other facial fillers.”
She, of course, has never spoken about it, and her brother Donny maintains his good looks with ease, which leads some people to surmise it's just good genetics, whatever that means. The lady just wants to look pretty, people. Nothing wrong with that.
Clint Howard
The little brother to actor and director Ron Howard, Clint also got his start as a child star and even starred in five episodes of "The Andy Griffith Show." He's continued acting into his adult years and is well-known as a character actor.
Clint is also an avid gamer and loves the MMORPG World of Warcraft. He plays under the name “Extras” in the guild “Thrust” on the Dark Iron realm. Another hobby of his is golfing, although he doesn't do it as frequently as he used to before he had his hip replaced.
