Thanks for hat tip. Sounds like her mom and brother were real pieces of work. That’s the reality of showbiz, though. Many of the stars were seriously damaged long before they became famous.
I don’t know that Donnie and Marie did anything at all but I remember a comedy show doing a parody of them long ago. This is when Marie was married to that other guy (Brian Blosil) and had just become pregnant. In the comedy show she and Donny were doing a duet and she was 9 months pregnant when while singing they started holding and making out with each other.
Does not matter what religion you are when you are in the public eye comedy shows are going to poke fun at you. They may be just funning Donny and Marie but sometimes I wonder as with Michael Jackson, they may be telling us the truth in a way the general public could handle it.
