Osmonds Gather to Honor Family Patriarch | Donny Osmond, Marie Osmond, Oprah Winfrey
More than 100 members of the Osmond family had long been scheduled to gather on Oprah Winfrey's show. But now the special episode – which was taped Thursday to air Friday – will also serve as a tribute to family patriarch George Osmond, who died Tuesday, at age 90.

"My dad is my hero," Marie Osmond, 48, tells Winfrey. "And I will miss that the most because he was my rock. He was my strength." Adds Donny Osmond, 49: "Isn't it interesting how two people can raise a family in show business – nine children – and we still love each other." – Tim Nudd
