Zelda also noted that if her dad were still alive, he would have stood in solidarity with the Writer’s Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild during their ongoing strikes, as he was an ardent supporter of the organizations. “Happy birthday to Poppo,” she tweeted while posting a snap of Williams during a 2007 strike holding up a sign with the words, ‘WGA ON STRIKE,’ “who definitely would’ve been out there fighting the good fight for art and artists today and always.”
