The Osbourne’s Adopt Robert Marcato
There is a lot about The Osbourne’s that people don’t know or that gets over looked, but their generosity and kindness knows no bounds. As Sharon Osbourne was in the midst of fighting her own cancer battle the family took in a boy who was facing the loss of his own mother to the terrible disease. Robert Marcato was an 18 year old that the family helped. He was the friend of the Osbourne’s daughters. Sharon Osbourne got close to Reagan Marcato through Kelly and Aimee who were friends of Robert’s.
Sharon even arranged private nursing care for Reagan as she faced her final days. Robert Marcato wanted to study at drama school so Sharon arranged to send him to the best drama school available. Robert was featured in some of the episodes of the Osbourne’s.
Robert’s mother Reagan Erin Marcato was a single mother who was a very successful food manager at the well liked 1950’s diner on Sunset Boulevard. Reagan Marcato’s life was focussed on her son Robert and she fought for her son to have a special education program because of his dyslexia. Robert Marcato met Aimee and Kelly in school and formed a strong friendship with them.
Sadly Reagan died of cancer on July 30th, 2002 at the young age of 36. The Osbourne’s had grown close to Robert and his mother and Ozzy had promised Reagan that they would look after her son if she died. The Osbourne’s kept to their word and adopted him in the true sense of the word. Sharon Osbourne refers to him as Baby Osbourne.
Sharon Osbourne has said, “When I look at somebody like Reagan, who didn’t have the resources I
had, what have I got to complain about?” Sharon said. “She was the most amazing woman and was such a brilliant and strong woman. She left home when she was 18, put her baby in the car and drove from one end of the country to another.”
Reagan was a special woman who fought for her life. Doctors had said that Reagan only had a few hours left, but she lived for 9 days longer and defied all the doctors. This proves what a strong courageous woman Reagan was.Reagan Erin Marcato, was a beautiful young woman who died of colon cancer in July 2002 at the age of 36. Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne
