Early Life And Education
Sharon Rachel Levy, also known as Sharon Osbourne, is a TV personality and music manager who was born in London, United Kingdom, on October 9, 1952.
Sharon Osbourne is the daughter of music promoter and rock and roll entrepreneur Don Arden (born Harry Levy) (1926–2007) and his wife, Hope (née Shaw, 1916–1999). She has a brother named David Arden.
Sharon Osbourne attended the Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts but dropped out at 15. Her ethnicity is mixed, with her father being Ashkenazi Jewish and her mother being of Irish descent. She practises Christianity.
Career
Osbourne is credited with reviving her husband’s heavy metal career by founding the summer Ozzfest tour, which is held almost annually between 1996 and 2018. In 1996, Osbourne created the Ozzfest summer touring festival.
It became a regular rock occasion and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006. By 2007, the ticket prices had reached £76, and Osbourne announced that the tickets would be free to allow more people to attend the concert.
Before the founding of Ozzfest, Osbourne approached Lollapalooza, another rock/pop festival, to request that Ozzy play at that year’s festival, only to be rejected and told that Ozzy was “uncool” and too drugged up.
In light of her success managing her husband, Osbourne branched out into managing other acts by creating Sharon Osbourne Management. The new company, with Osbourne as its sole employee, managed artists such as Gary Moore, Motörhead, Lita Ford, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Coal Chambers.
Osbourne gained celebrity status as one of the stars of MTV’s reality show, The Osbournes, which followed her family’s daily life and had a national audience.
In January 2003, Osbourne and the rest of her family hosted the 30th Annual American Music Awards. The night was marked with constant “bleeping” due to some of the lewd and raunchy remarks made by both Osbourne and Ozzy.
Additionally, the night was controversial, as critics panned their hosting and presenter Patricia Heaton walked out midway in disgust. She has co-hosted one of the Royal Variety Performances with Jonathan Ross.
Osbourne appeared in Days of Our Lives, It’s a Boy Girl Thing. On Friday, June 15 2007, Osbourne guest hosted The Friday Night Project with Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr.
Osbourne also appeared in an episode of the science fiction series Doctor Who on June 23, 2007. In 2016, she appeared in two videos for PETA, explaining why she gave up wearing fur and encouraging others to do the same.
The famous British comedy Dead Ringers features and spoofs Osbourne (played by Jan Ravens) quite prominently alongside her husband (played by Jon Culshaw).
Impressionist Ronni Ancona spoofed her on Alistair McGowan’s Big Impression and featured her in the comedy 2DTV. On Saturday Night Live, Amy Poehler played her on the “Celebrity Jeopardy!” skit on May 14, 2005.
Osbourne has a recurring voice role as Mama Hook in the animated television series Jake and the Never Land Pirates broadcast in 2012.
She hosted her own talk show, “The Sharon Osbourne Show,” was a co-host on the popular daytime talk show The Talk, and judged talent shows like “America’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor.”
