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.”
