Marie Osmonds Bold Bucket List Adventures and Soapy Secrets!

Publish date: 2024-04-19

Marie Osmond, the 64-year-old entertainment queen, recently crossed something exciting off her bucket list.

The iconic actress revealed in an interview with Fox News Digital that she is living her wildest dreams, including an exciting stint on the popular soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful.” 

Marie’s obsession with soap operas dates back to her childhood. She recalls a long-ago conversation with Brad Bell, the soap opera’s executive producer and writer, during which the possibility of a role on the show was first discussed.

“Oh my goodness, that would be incredible,” she thought. However, life had other plans for her, and an 11-year Las Vegas residency with her brother, Donny Osmond, took center stage.

However, once the Vegas curtains fell, it was time for Marie to conquer her bucket list. “Unexpected,” her latest album, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts.

It was a remarkable moment for her, and she couldn’t help but notice the number 29 appearing frequently on the charts. “29 – my age,” she playfully joked. 

Her album’s success was the spark she needed to chase her wildest dreams, starting with the sky. She jumped out of an airplane, despite her fear of heights, and her adventures didn’t stop there.

Bucket List Unleashed

Marie Osmond embarked on a wild adventure tour, checking off items one by one. She climbed Mount Sinai with her son, explored the stunning landscapes of Iceland with her husband, and even braved a 300-foot zip line over a waterfall.

While some may find jumping out of an airplane exhilarating, for Marie, it was “the worst.” She vividly recalls the moment she was shoved off the edge. It’s safe to say that acting in “The Bold and the Beautiful” was a lot less daunting than that!

Marie and her husband, Steve Craig, remarried in 2011, decades after their initial marriage and subsequent divorce in 1985.

When asked about the secret to their successful marriage, Marie couldn’t help but chuckle. “Take 25 years off in between,” she playfully suggested.

In reality, they’re best friends who cherish each other for who they are, and they’re living their best lives now that the kids are out of the house.
