Marie Osmond was inspired by Lucille Ball

Marie Osmond has admitted that one of her biggest inspirations was Lucille Ball. She got the chance to meet Lucille when she performed on an episode of Donny & Marie. While appearing on the show, Marie learned some valuable lessons from Lucille. They even hung out and played Scrabble together!

Marie shared, “She was beautiful and funny — and I love funny. She was not afraid to put herself out there. I learned at a very young age you should be able (to) just laugh. Laugh at yourself, don’t take things so seriously.”
