If you love thriller series, you must have watched the enduring cult classic 'Ghostbusters,' and if you have watched it, you are no new to Winston Zeddemore, in real life, known as Ernie Hudson.

The heebie-jeebies of Ernie Hudson for second marriage:
Despite his success in the entertainment industry, Ernie Hudson thinks "blacks are usually an afterthought." But unfortunately, it seemed that this understanding was somewhat overshadowed before his second marriage.
Talking about his personal life, he has a blissful life with his wife, Linda Kingsberg, a former flight attendant, and his kids. Hudson first met his wife, Linda Kingsberg, when he was working in a Minneapolis production of The Great White Hope.
Hudson, in an interview, shared his feeling about going back to the memory lane. He said he was disinclined to commit for the second time; on top of that, Linda is white. That scenario made him nervous about their prospects as an interracial couple.

That was the chief problem that gave rise to many 'ifs and buts.' Hudson mentioned,
“I knew there would be problems,”
Well! At that point in time, he was right too. Further, Linda said how people were not willing to show them the property, and also, they were giving them suggestions not to have children. Linda divulged,
“And people told us not to have children because the children would be confused,”
But disregarding all those facts and moving on, they tied a knot in 1985. The two share two children, Andrew (b. 1988) and Ross (b. 1990).
