Marie Osmond's Leap Back Into Acting
Marie Osmond, the iconic singer and actress, has worn countless hats throughout her illustrious career, but that doesn’t stop her from feeling a little nervous when stepping back into the world of acting. The beloved star, known for her work on The Talk, recently opened up about the challenges of returning to the screen after her debut in The Christmas Edition. It turns out, even the most seasoned performers can get a touch of stage fright.
Now 61, Marie shared her thoughts in a heartfelt Instagram post following the movie premiere on November 15, 2020. "Someone asked me why I wanted to do movies, and I joked, 'You know, I’ve been me for so long, it’s time to be someone else for a change!'" she wrote, adding a playful touch to her serious decision. It’s clear that Marie sees acting as more than just a job—it’s an opportunity to explore new facets of herself.
Facing Fears and Stepping Outside the Comfort Zone
Marie admits that acting can be intimidating, but she’s all about pushing herself out of her comfort zone. "Acting is pretty scary, but I like challenging myself," she explained in her post. "If we don’t start crossing things off our bucket lists soon, we may never do them!" It’s this mindset that keeps Marie moving forward, even when fear tries to hold her back.

In her latest Lifetime movie, The Christmas Edition, Marie plays the role of Melanie alongside a talented cast, including Carly Hughes, Rob Mayes, and Aloma Wright.

"She said she didn’t sing for 26 years because she was afraid to disappoint people," Marie revealed. This revelation struck a chord with her, reminding her that fear is one of our greatest adversaries. But instead of letting it control her, Marie chose to confront it head-on.
Embracing Courage and Passion

Marie’s journey back into acting is just one chapter in her storied career. Over the years, she’s tackled various roles, from starring alongside her brother Donny Osmond in their hit variety series Donny & Marie to gracing the stage in Las Vegas. But her work extends beyond entertainment—she’s also a successful singer, TV host, and author.
