Biography / Administrative History

Annette Starr Bruce Hudson (1920-2002) was born on March 16, 1920 to Elmer G. and Marguerite Starr in Oakland, California. After the death of her mother at age 7, she was largely raised by her grandmother, Mary A. Starr in Oakland, California. She attended Golden Gate Junior High School and University High School graduating in 1939. She worked as a waitress during the Golden Gate Exposition in 1939 before eventually teaching charm and etiquette classes at DeFremery Recreation Center in West Oakland beginning in 1950. After graduating from the Merle Norman Institute in 1953, she opened a Merle Norman Studio selling cosmetics and perfumes. In 1954, she opened a charm and modeling studio, Annette's Studio of Transformation, in Berkeley, California, which trained hundreds of graduates each year in personality development, voice and diction, wardrobe, modeling, makeup, hairstyling, figure control, visual poise, and social grace. In the 1950s, Hudson also wrote the social event column, People!, Places!, and Things!, for the African American newspaper The California Voice.
In 1960, Hudson moved to Los Angeles where she worked as a Public Relations officer at the performing arts center, Studio West, and then served as the Regional Executive Director of the American Cancer Society, Los Angeles County Branch. She married funeral director Luther Hudson in 1970 and remained active in civic and community organizations, including the Church of Christian Fellowship and the NAACP and until her death in 2002.
