Biography
Hugh Hudson (born 25 August 1936) is an English film director who became famous after he directed the 1981 multiple Academy Award-winning film Chariots of Fire.
His famous great-grandfather and heir to the family fortune was Charles Donaldson-Hudson, who became a one-time member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
Hugh Hudson was born at 27 Welbeck Street, London, the second son of Jacynth (Ellerton) Donaldson-Hudson, his father's second wife.
He was sent to boarding school in 1942 at the age of 6, and thereafter was educated at Eton College.
He began his National Service in the Royal Armoured Corps from 28 January 1956, reaching the rank of second lieutenant and remained as a lieutenant in the Army Reserve of Officers until he was discharged on 16 January 1960.
Hudson's first marriage on 25 August 1977, was with painter Susan Michie, born 8 December 1946, the daughter of Alastair Milne Michie, with whom he had a son, born in 1978.
In November 2003, he married actress Maryam d'Abo, who played Kara Milovy in The Living Daylights (1987).
