ROBIN AND ZELDA WILLIAMS

While attending Julliard, Robin Williams was encouraged by a professor to shift his focus away from drama onto standup comedy. With that in mind, he began to hit the comedy scene around New York. People quickly fell in love with his quick one-liners until Hollywood came calling, and the rest is history.

His daughter, Zelda, was born in 1989. At age 5, Zelda showed an interest in acting. She appeared in the 2004 film House of D alongside her famous dad when she was 15. As an adult, she wrote and directed the short film called Shrimp and later entered into a deal to develop it into a half-hour series. Zelda describes herself as an avid athlete and a fan of her namesake, The Legend of Zelda video game series. She’s now in her early 30s and continues her investment planning in show business.
