The Story Behind the 70s Sitcom Hit Laverne & Shirley

In 1982, Cindy Williams married musician and actor Bill Hudson. The marriage connected the actress to another well-known entertainment family, as Hudson had previously been part of the musical group The Hudson Brothers.

The couple soon started a family together, eventually welcoming two children, Zak and Emily Hudson. At the time of the marriage, Williams was still appearing on Laverne & Shirley, meaning major personal milestones were happening alongside the growing behind-the-scenes changes affecting the show.
