By quantriweb2023 In a heartwarming episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Marie Osmond took viewers on a nostalgic and emotional journey through some of the most defining moments of her life and career. During a special segment called “Memory Bank,” Drew invited Marie to reflect on old photos that captured her incredible evolution as an entertainer, sister, and woman who has spent decades in the spotlight — yet remains as genuine and gracious as ever.
The first memory brought fans back to where it all began — the Paper Roses album. Marie shared how she recorded the song in Nashville at just twelve years old, surrounded by the legendary Jordanaires, who had also worked with Elvis Presley. With a live 60-piece orchestra behind her, that moment marked the start of a lifetime in music. She laughed as she pointed out a charming detail: she was wearing the same style of eyelashes in that album photo as she still wears today.
Next came a snapshot of showbiz royalty — Donny and Marie alongside Sonny and Cher. Marie reminisced about the unforgettable days of The Donny & Marie Show and The Sonny & Cher Show, revealing that the two families often shared guests, laughter, and even costumes designed by the iconic Bob Mackie. With a smile, she recalled how Cher once taught her a glitter lip trick that she still uses before stepping on stage — a small but meaningful reminder of the sisterhood that often exists between women in entertainment.
The memories continued with a photo from The Love Boat, the beloved TV series where Marie appeared alongside legends like Ernest Borgnine and Shelley Winters. She fondly described filming across Europe — from Rome and Monaco to Capri and Venice — joking that while she got to see the world, her brother Donny filmed his episode back home in Los Angeles. It was a lighthearted reminder of the adventures and opportunities her career has brought her way.
Finally, the most emotional moment arrived — a photo of Marie receiving her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With tears in her eyes, she revealed that unlike most celebrities whose stars are funded by studios or management, hers was paid for entirely by fans from around the world. That overwhelming gesture of love and support moved her deeply, reminding her of the powerful bond she shares with those who have followed her journey for decades.
Marie also spoke tenderly of her mother, who had suffered a stroke and was unable to attend the ceremony but was overjoyed to see her daughter honored in such a meaningful way. Drew Barrymore closed the segment by calling Marie a “timeless icon,” celebrating not only her achievements but also her humility, grace, and enduring connection to her audience.
In just a few minutes, Marie Osmond reminded everyone why she remains one of America’s most beloved entertainers — not just for her voice and talent, but for her heart, humor, and the authenticity that continues to shine as brightly as her star on Hollywood Boulevard.
