Marie Osmond was first, goldarnit

From the Palm Beach Post, this quote from Marie Osmond:
"I was truly the first celebrity to come out with (having postpartum depression publicly), leading to people like Brooke Shields," she says. "I will never regret writing that book [Behind the Smile, about PPD]. Part of loving people is being honest enough to help. A lot of women have suffered in silence. I bet I still receive 100 emails on a daily basis from people about this. I met a woman at a doll signing whose daughter took her own life because of (PPD). She asked 'Why couldn't you have written that book five years sooner?' Now there's a lot of awareness."
Okay, let the record stand corrected. Marie, then Brooke. Either way, I think it's depressing to be into dolls. I don't know why, but I just have a sense it's a sad hobby.

100 e-mails a day? marie, those are spam.
