In October 2006, Marie Osmond debuted the Baby Donny limited-edition porcelain doll that was sculpted by artist and friend Karen Scott, to appear in the likeness of Marie’s own brother Donny as a child.
The Baby Donny doll had been in the works for years, with the goal of its introduction to commemorate Marie’s 15th year of doll making.
In Marie’s opinion, sculpting male dolls in general is a difficult undertaking. “Boy dolls … don’t sell as well, because I don’t think they really look like boys,” she explains. “They look more like cute, feminine faces that they put boy hair on and clothes. So to do a really good boy doll you have to really sculpt it right.” This particular sculpture for the Baby Donny doll took over a year to complete in order to make it look just right.
