The daughter of the late, great actor Robin Williams (BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO), Zelda Williams, recently revealed how easy it is for her to keep her father's memory alive.

"For me it's easy to continue remembering someone that is impossible to forget," she told reporters at the Noble Awards in Beverly Hills this weekend.

Zelda also spoke about having to move back into the public limelight following her father's death- an occurence that has in THE PAST been rare, "It's not difficult, it's just a strange feeling. It's okay, it's going to be okay, but it is a transition," said Zelda. "It's acknowledging that you have to stop feeling that the outside world does not exist, because for a short while it doesn't."
