"Marie will truly reflect my personality," said Osmond "optimistic, humorous, adaptable, inquisitive, concerned and rarely predictable. It feels like the right time, the right partners and everyone involved. I've had the great fortune of meeting hundreds of thousands of women around the world throughout my career. I've listened to them, learned from them and laughed with them. I feel identify strongly with me through our shared experiences: working, raising kids, active in our communities, as well as the headaches, the heartbreaks, and the hilarious moments that are a part of making the best of this life we've been given."

Marie is now performing five shows a week to sold-out audiences, sharing the Flamingo Showroom stage in Las Vegas, with her brother Donny. Even in current tough economic times, their successful show has been extended through 2010, a testament to four amazing decades in entertaining.

New American Library is, currently publishing Marie's new book Might As Well Laugh About it Now, the highly anticipated second book for this New York Times bestselling author, with a release date of April 7, 2009.

In the past year, Marie has hosted Miss USA 2008 and America's Favorite Mom on NBC, performed worldwide in the Osmond's 50th Anniversary Tour, acted as spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, launched an extensive NutriSystem campaign, and has appeared almost nightly on ET, Access Hollywood, Extra, The Insider, The Tonight Show, Larry King and more.

In 2007, Marie Osmond danced her way into the hearts of millions on the hit television show Dancing with the Stars, and the Osmond family's November appearance on Oprah was the #1-rated episode of the season. A proven force in television, audiences first fell in love with Marie on the legendary ABC television variety program, The Donny & Marie Show and tuned-in to the popular daytime entertainment/talk show Donny & Marie, which earned Emmy nominations in 1999 and 2000.

In addition to being an international celebrity, Marie is also a savvy businesswoman. In 1991, she launched the "Marie Osmond Fine Porcelain Collector Dolls" line on QVC and at Disney theme parks. It has become QVC's top selling doll line, was nominated for Trendsetter of the Year in the collectibles industry and has moved into the retail and direct response markets.

Most significant to Marie is that she's a proud mother of eight children, who she considers to be her greatest lifelong achievement.

An international icon, Marie is as comfortable talking with high-profile celebrities as she is with homemakers, as happy to be getting advice from another single mom as she is to speak with the expert on any issue - always connecting with real women with real lives.

Marie is packaged by the William Morris Agency.
