While Williams, 26, has followed in her late father's footsteps through acting, she also told ET that she wants to learn from his kindness. "A lot of what I try to do is interact with the world the way he did," Zelda revealed in an exclusive sit-down. "He didn't care who someone was, he did a lot of work with the homeless, he did a lot of work with people in prison, as my mom does now, and he was always kind. It meant a lot to him, so I kind of hope to, if nothing else, be that."
