Zelda Williams

Zelda Rae Williams was romantically involved with actor Jackson Heywood from 2013 to 2016. She has also dated actor Colin Donnell in the past.

She has always admitted her love for video games. ‘The Legend of Zelda’ is one of her favorite video games.

Zelda is bisexual, and she openly admits it on public platforms.

Zelda Rae Williams was born in New York City, on July 31, 1989, to Robin and Marsha Williams. Her father was a legendary Hollywood actor and was recognized all over the world. She was his second child and his first daughter. She has an older stepbrother named Zachary, from Robin’s first marriage, and a younger brother named Cody.

Robin once stated that he had named his daughter “Zelda” after “Princess Zelda,” the lead character of his favorite video game, ‘The Legend of Zelda.’

Zelda grew up in a high-profile film family. Thus, the world of films was not new to her. She also accompanied her father to many of his film sets. Although she later became confused about her true passion, she kept herself attached with the American entertainment industry.

Although Robin primarily worked in Los Angeles, he wanted his children to be away from the limelight for as long as possible. Thus, Zelda spent most of her childhood in San Francisco.

She developed an interest in acting at a very early age. By 5, she had already started facing the camera. During the first few years of her career, she was not too interested in acting. While in college, she was still in the process of finding her true passion.

Zelda Williams appeared on screen for the first time at the age of 5, when she played a small role in the 1994 TV film ‘In Search of Dr. Seuss.’ The fantasy–drama film was loved by the audiences. Thus, Zelda started her acting career with significant critical and commercial success.

By 1995, she had also made her big-screen debut with a small role in the film ‘Nine Months.’ The film featured her as a little girl in a ballet class. Over the next decade, she refrained from appearing in films and TV and concentrated on her education instead.

Following a break of nine years, she made her comeback with the film ‘House of D’ in 2004. It was a coming-of-age comedy–drama film that was screened at the well-respected ‘Tribeca Film Festival.’ The film featured her as ‘Melissa.’ However, it could not attain enough critical and commercial response.

She took another break of four years before making another comeback with the film ‘Were the World Mine’ in 2008. The film featured her as ‘Frankie.’ The romantic musical–fantasy film earned significant success at various film festivals and ended up becoming a critical and commercial success upon its theatrical release. However, the independent nature of the film prevented it from receiving a wide release.

Although she could have been part of a number of major projects, she continued to explore her artistic side and chose to be part of a few small-budget experimental films instead. In 2009, she appeared in an independent feature film named ‘Don’t Look Up.’ She then appeared in two short films named ‘See You on the Other Side’ and ‘Jezuz Loves Chaztity’ in 2010.
