BiographyYvonne Hudson (born July 9, 1955) is an American television actress and comedian who is best known for being the first African-American female cast member on Saturday Night Live. She joined the cast as a featured player in the show's 1980–1981 season (the first black female repertory player was Danitra Vance). She is also the third African-American to become an SNL cast member following Garrett Morris and Eddie Murphy, who started one week ahead of her. Hudson first appeared on the show in 1978 as an uncredited extra in many episodes.

Hudson was the front desk receptionist for the show, prior to being made a featured player. She rarely had a role of significance in any sketches and was fired along with most of the cast at the end of the troubled season. However, she continued to appear occasionally in uncredited small roles until her final appearance on the show in 1984. Apart from her stint on SNL, Hudson has not appeared in any other television or film role.

Ludwig

When John ‘Ludwig' Taylor's identical twin, DCI James Taylor, disappears off the face of the earth, John takes over his brother's identity in a quest to discover his whereabouts.

Without a computer, mobile phone or even a television, he lives in quiet solitude, designing puzzles for a living, under the nom-de-plume of ‘Ludwig'.

This genre bending detective series follows full-time luddite, John 'Ludwig' Taylor, as he assumes the identity of his missing twin brother in a bid to track him down and bring him home. However, filling the shoes of your identical twin is one thing - when your twin also happens to be a successful DCI leading Cambridge's busy inner-city major crimes team the stakes are much higher. John may be a master of all things cryptic, but can he crack the biggest puzzle of his life?
