Robin Williams’ Children Mark His 75th Birthday With Tributes and Advocacy

Public posts from his children are being used to promote kindness and draw attention to mental-health work and Lewy body dementia awareness.

Overview

  • Zak Williams posted a heartfelt social-media tribute this week remembering his father’s “weirdness” and urged followers to “do something kind,” asking people to make someone laugh and put more good into the world.
  • Zelda Williams shared throwback Instagram Stories on the milestone that mixed personal memories with blunt commentary about how she wants her father’s likeness treated online.
  • Multiple outlets reported that Zak and his wife Olivia, who have two children, are expecting a third child as the family marked the anniversary.
  • Cody Williams has continued to keep a lower public profile, with previous private tributes — including a 2019 wedding that honored lost family members — cited as his preferred way to remember their father.
  • The family’s remembrance comes with ongoing advocacy: Zak has publicly linked his grief to founding PYM (Prepare Your Mind) for mental-health outreach, and Robin’s widow, Susan Schneider Williams, has pushed for greater Lewy body dementia awareness since his 2014 death.
