Ozzy's First Wife & Children...

[Master of Insanity]

Are there ever any pictures of her? What happened to her? Is she still living?

I know the two kids had a bit part on the documentary, "God Bless Ozzy Osbourne".. and there was a picture shown of her in the film, I believe. She was very pretty lady.

Ozzy seems to be very unattached to his first family. I wonder why this is?

[62_SG]

If I had to guess, based on his book and the documentary Ozzy wasn't very good to that family and was abusive towards them. My memory on this subject is hazy but last I heard Ozzy doesn't get along with his daughter but his son is still a part of his life.

Jesus, Ozzy was so depressed he opened a wine bar? Guess he wasn't kidding when he said he figured he'd spend the rest of his life as a bartender...

Wow, lovely gal!

[Master of Insanity]

Thanks for the pictures! I've never seen many of those before.

It seems once Sharon came onto the picture- Ozzy's old life was conveniently smudged out... lol

Wow, lovely gal!

Yes, she is.

I have always believed that Thelma is much prettier than Sharon.

Today Sharon has got her by a long shot though. As Thelma looks 65.
But Sharon of course has the celebraty and the surgeries and so on to keep a younger look.

Some people also me now know that Thelma made Ozzy's outfits back in the day. Even into the Blizzard of Ozz era.

For that matter, the last deuce I dropped is prettier than that evil hag Sharon!

I believe Ozzy's song You Know Pt. 1 off of Down to Earth is about his daughter Jessica from his first marriage.

I wonder why myself, you never forget your kids, they are always a part of you, no matter the differences between you and your ex.

Sad to say this about my hero but Ozzy was in his 20s with Money, Drugs and the world in the palm of his hand. He simply didn't have time for his family. He regrets that now and speaks about it in his book. I recall him saying in it somewhere that if he could do anything over again he would have treated Thelma better. He said she didn't deserve to be treated the way he treated her. And to this day she calls him John. Very few people call him John.

[Billy Underdog]

And to this day she calls him John. Very few people call him John.

Probably only his sisters and brother.

Wow, Thelma in '71-'72 really look alot like Jessica in God Bless O. O.

If i interpreted his book right, this wasn't a very well thought trough marriage. It was more like "i've gone from being a dirt-poor nobody to a wealthy rock-star, and now i can have the prettiest girl in the class"-kinda thing...

Though Ozzy wasn't the best father when he was still around, i think it really hurt him that he lost touch with the kids after the divorce. But back in the early 80's it was still pretty usual for the man to loose all contact with the family under such circumstances

I met Jessica backstage at the Brixton Academy (London) in '92 when Ozzy did a gig there. I can't remember much about it to be honest, as it was all a haze. I was invited side stage by Sharon while the gig was going on. That would have been the first time I met Sharon. I was then ushered into a limo after the gig. Surreal times. My memory is that shit for that day that I can't remember whether I met Louis or not. Or at least introduced to him. I may have been.

Here's a link about his old wine bar.

That's Louis crying on Am I Going Insane also.

Thelma is beautiful, I never saw pictures of her before.

[Deuce Frehley]

Did you read the clip about the wine bar? It said that Ozzy was in the "Wizard of Oz pop group". HAAAAA!

[VirtuaMuser]

Classy lady I must say! love her smile

[hipster doofus]

Wow, those are some great photos. What a seriously beautiful family. There's something about looking at pictures from back then that seem so authentic. As nice as our 20 megapixel, 1080p cameras look these days, it all seems so sterile.

[David86]

Indeed. I think we sorta take pics for granted now. You can shoot a thousand pictures, have them in huge sizes on our drives, and probably choose a few to print. Back then you had to consider the prize of the film and developing. It is so easy these days.

cheers

My sister is young enough that she doesn't remember a time before digital cameras. When I see her snapping a pic of herself or her surroundings every 30 seconds sometimes I tell her that when I was a kid you could take just twenty pictures at a time, taking each one cost money and you had to pay someone and wait an hour to see what they looked like. She just can't comprehend it.

Try explaining to her what life was like before the internet...

Here is an out-take from the Diary of a Madman cover shoot. That's Louis on the cover, and most likely, it is Thelma on the back cover dressed as "Madman Ozzy", slumped over the table.

I think Ozzy and Thelma split before Diary Of A Madman... so I doubt that's Thelm on the back cover... did you mean Jessica? I remember Ozzy referring to Thelma in an interview back in the 70's as "my private Princess Thelma..." Ozzy's doing good, Tony's been married 4 times! Geez I think just once and still...

[tojoro]

As I understand it, Thelma made the costumes Ozzy wore for the shoot. That appears to be her in the photo of the link I posted above. Ozzy, Thelma and the kids were living together in Staffordshire during Diary's making, while Sharon was a 'bit on the side'. Apparently, Randy had to act as though Sharon was with him if and when Thelma came by Ridge Farm Studios.
