William Louis Hudson (born October 17, 1949) is an American musician and actor. He is best known for his role as a vocalist in the band The Hudson Brothers, which he formed in 1965 with his two younger brothers, Brett and Mark. He later had a brief acting career, appearing in supporting roles in Zero to Sixty (1978), Hysterical (1983), and Big Shots (1987). He also appeared in a recurring guest role on the series Doogie Howser, M.D..

Hudson was born and raised in Portland, Oregon, the eldest of three sons (Brett and Mark are his two younger brothers) born to Eleanor (née Salerno) and William Louis Hudson. His mother was Italian American (his maternal grandfather came from Carlentini, Province of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy). He and his brothers were nephews (by marriage) of actor Keenan Wynn. Hudson's father left his family when he was six (famously saying he was going out for a pack of cigarettes), and he stated that his mother had to use welfare to support him and his brothers during their upbringing. He was raised Roman Catholic.

As an actor, Hudson appeared in the film Big Shots (1987), and three episodes of the television series Doogie Howser, M.D. from 1989 to 1992.


Hudson released his memoir, Two Versions: The Other Side of Fame and Family, in December 2011.

Hudson married actress Goldie Hawn in 1976. Hudson filed for divorce in 1980 and it was finalized two years later. They have two children, Oliver Hudson (b 1976) and Kate Hudson (b 1979), who were raised by Hawn and Kurt Russell. Hudson would later accuse Hawn of "willfully alienating" him from their children.

Hudson married Cindy Williams of Laverne and Shirley in 1982 and they had two children before divorcing in 2000. He also has a daughter born in 2006 to a long-term girlfriend.

In 2018, Hudson's son Oliver told Larry King that he and his father had begun speaking again after being estranged for many years.

Hudson campaigned for Democratic politician Michael Dukakis' presidential bid in 1988.
