Robin Williams’ Daughter is All Grown Up—And You’ll Be Shocked at How Much She Resembles Her Dad
The beloved actor Robin Williams, who passed away several years ago, left behind three children. Among them is his daughter, who once shared how her father inspired her to follow her passion and pursue the career she loves today.
Robin, best known for his iconic role in Mrs. Doubtfire, wasn’t just a legendary entertainer—he was also a devoted father to two sons and one daughter. Fans often comment on how much his daughter resembles him, both in looks and spirit.
Robin’s personal life was as dynamic as his career. He married three times, each relationship marking a different chapter in his life. His first marriage, to Valerie Velardi in 1978, lasted 10 years. Valerie, an artist and performer, was the mother of his first child, Zak.
In 1989, Robin married Marsha Garces, a film producer and philanthropist. Their marriage lasted over 20 years and brought two more children into his life, Zelda and Cody. Robin married for the third time in 2011 to Susan Schneider, a graphic designer, who was with him until his tragic passing.
Despite his busy career, Robin deeply valued fatherhood. In a 2006 interview, he expressed how much joy his children brought him, even in moments of mischief. “If I had a choice to erase anything, I’d keep all my memories of my children—even when they misbehave, because it’s still extraordinary,” he said.
Three years later, he admitted he wasn’t a perfect dad but said, “I’m so proud of them in different ways. Have they always been cherubs? No, but that’s part of the process.”
Robin’s first child, Zak, was born in 1983 during his marriage to Valerie. Zak cherished his childhood memories with his dad, recalling their walks and shared excitement over simple joys.
After Robin’s death, Zak faced a tough battle with depression and turned to alcohol. However, he sought help and turned his life around. Now a mental health advocate, Zak co-founded PYM (Prepare Your Mind) to support others in their healing journeys. He is also a proud husband and father, naming his son Mickey in honor of Robin’s middle name.
Cody, born in 1991 during Robin’s marriage to Marsha, pursued a career behind the camera. As a director and assistant director, he has worked on major films like Black Panther and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Cody leads a private life but had a special moment in 2019 when he married Maria Flores at his childhood home on what would have been Robin’s 68th birthday.
Robin’s only daughter, Zelda, was born in 1989. She grew up visiting her father on film sets, which inspired her love for acting and directing. Zelda began her career at age 5, appearing as Robin’s on-screen daughter in In Search of Dr. Seuss.
She has since starred in TV shows like The Legend of Korra and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In 2024, she made her directorial debut with the zombie rom-com Lisa Frankenstein. Zelda has also been vocal about protecting artistic integrity, criticizing the use of AI to replicate her father’s voice.
Zelda fondly remembers family traditions, like cooking together, despite Robin’s busy schedule. She often reflects on the importance of spending time together, even during short breaks from work.
Fans often point out how much Zelda resembles her father, not just in appearance but in her expressions and sense of humor. Observers have commented that she’s like a “female version” of Robin, a comparison that brings admiration and nostalgia.
Robin’s sudden passing in 2014 at the age of 63 shocked the world. According to his publicist, he had been battling severe depression. His loss remains a source of sorrow for many, but his legacy lives on through his children. They continue to honor him in their unique ways, keeping his memory alive while forging their own paths.
