The legacy of Robin Williams is almost as rich as the nuances of laughter that those who see him in movies and television experience. There are Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and The Birdcage (1996), but we must not forget the dramas Dead Poets Society (1990) and Good Will Hunting (1997), for which he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Soon, it will be 12 years since his tragic death, which for many of his colleagues meant the end of an era in comedy.
When he passed away, he was married to his third wife, graphic designer Susan Schneider, with whom he did not have children. He did have children with his two previous wives. With actress Valerie Velardi, whom Robin met while working as a waiter in a tavern in San Francisco, he had Zak (43), who has worked as an actor and producer.
Today, the eldest son is a notable advocate for mental health, entrepreneur, and investor who frequently honors his father's legacy through public and promotional tributes. In 2020, he co-founded with his wife, actress Olivia June, the wellness brand PYM (Prepare Your Mind) aimed at reducing the stigma of mental health and increasing patient access to centers and therapies.
They married in Los Angeles on October 10, 2020, Mental Health Day, as they wanted to honor the advocacy for mental health. A year before the wedding, they had McLaurin Clement, and in 2021, their little sister Zola June was born.
From Williams' second marriage to Marsha Garces, he had two children. A few months after their 1988 wedding, Zelda was born, who inherited from her father a passion for the performing arts as an actress and filmmaker. "I didn't go into acting with any preconceived idea of where it would take me. It might sound pessimistic, but I knew I would never be like my father, so I did it because I'm passionate about it," Zelda said in an interview with People magazine in 2017.
She has also mentioned on different occasions that her father's work prevented them from celebrating various holidays as a family, such as Christmas, so when they were all at home, they would gather in the kitchen to chat "and cook together; it was an important moment."
The youngest son of the Hollywood star is Cody Alan (34), about whom very little is known because he has always preferred to stay away from the spotlight. In 2019, he married Maria Flores, on the same day his father would have turned years old, they have no children, and he mainly works in the entertainment industry as a television and theater producer.
