Personal life
William Hopkins was born in Greenville, South Carolina. He was adopted by a couple who were unable to reproduce at the age of nine months. "Billy" was his nickname as he grew up. In Taylors, South Carolina, his adoptive father worked in a mill. He died of a heart attack on the porch of the family's house when his father was 39. Billy and his mother were killed in Billy's death. Unable to stay in their house, the two of them moved to a new home in Ware Shoals, where his grandfather and uncles worked in another mill. Davis' father remarried a man whose last name was Davis. Hopkins didn't get along with his new stepfather, and the two became involved in a slew of arguments, some serious. After running away from home a few times, he was taken to live with his grandparents, but it was discovered that he had been adopted because his adoptive mother did not have children. In Lockhart, another small mill town in South Carolina, he met his birth mother who lived with his half-sisters and a half-brother at age 12.
Billy lived a difficult life as a youth, with multiple cases of truancy, minor offences, and a stay in a reform academy. He dropped out of school before his 17th birthday and joined the United States Army, where he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. He was based in Fort Jackson, Fort Gordon, and Fort Pope, before being moved to Korea, where he spent nine months. William "Billy" Hopkins began dating Norma Woodle, whom he married at the age of 21, and they had a child in July 1960.
Hopkins was interested in studying acting but his wife was disapproving of it, and she left him shortly after, carrying their daughter with her. He was granted a scholarship to study acting and stage design at the Pioneer Playhouse in Kentucky, where he later moved. While there, he started dating a girl who had previously held the name Miss Mississippi. He came from Kentucky to New York City to appear in several stage plays. He and his cousin's boyfriend, who wanted to be a stuntman, went to Hollywood after New York. When attending the Actors Studio, where one of his classmates was future Oscar-winning Martin Landau, he earned a living parking lot in Hollywood.
In a 2012 magazine interview, he discussed how he got his first name, "Bo."
Hopkins was married to Sian Eleanor Green from 1989 to his death; they had a son in 1995. Hopkins returned to acting, reading scripts, and writing his autobiography after six years of inactivity.
