Editorial Reviews

Marie Osmond was a has-been at 19. When the much-loved and much-parodied Donny & Marie show closed its three-year television stint in 1979, Marie had already decided her brief "run in the sun" was over. Obviously it wasn't. In Might as Well Laugh About It Now, she describes the twists, turns, mishaps, mistakes, surprises, and blessings of her first half century. Uplifting candor; winning resilience.
