Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, 90 km northwest of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, to Carol, a waitress, and Barry Anderson, a furnace repairman. Her great-grandfather, Juho Hyytiäinen, was Finnish, a native of Saarijärvi, and left Finland in 1908. Hyytiäinen changed his name to Anderson, because he wanted a Scandinavian name easier to pronounce for Americans.

The newborn Anderson won fame as the nation’s “Centennial Baby”, as she was thought, incorrectly, to have been the first baby born on Canada’s Centennial Day (she was born at 4:08 in the morning). However, the Campbell River Upper Islander of July 5, 1967 reported a baby born two hours earlier on the same Canada Day. After her birth, her parents, Barry and Carol, and her brother, Gerry Anderson, moved to the town of Comox with Pamela.

Hudson has described her mother as “the woman that I’ve learned the most from, and who I look up to, who has conducted her life in a way that I can look up to”. She has three half-siblings, Emily and Zachary Hudson, from her biological father’s subsequent marriage to actress Cindy Williams, and Wyatt, from her mother’s relationship with Kurt Russell.
