Last June, an article was published in FashionWillis explained that during this tumultuous experience, she chose to act like an archaeologist and investigate her famous father’s life to recover as many memories as possible. This is what she wrote:
“Every time I visit my father’s house, I take a lot of photos – of everything I see, of the state of things. I’m like an archaeologist looking for treasure in things I never paid attention to.
