Kim, strategically styled in a pink satin gown by Lanvin, beamed with pride as the group honored her late father, who skyrocketed to fame after reading a letter penned by his friend O.J. Simpson hours before the former football star's low-speed chase that's become a staple of American pop culture some 21 years later. Robert Sr. went on to join Simpson's "Dream Team" of attorneys, a group which also included the late Johnnie Cochran, and courtroom icons Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey and Alan Dershowitz.

Kim posted this pre-fame family shot to honor the anniversary of her father's birthday this year. Khloe, who was returning to Los Angeles from a Hawaiian trip, was not on hand, though she's publicly maintained for years that the late lawyer was her biological father. But it was a different story in private, as a source told Radar that Khloe told ex Lamar Odom "that she knew that she didn't have the same dad as her sisters."

Always fondly remembered by his children as a caring and involved father, Robert posed with a then-19-year-old Kourtney at an AIDS benefit in Brentwood, the well-heeled California community that was the epicenter of the Simpson saga.

Simpson and Kardashian had a major falling-out prior to the lawyer's 2003 death, as the former Buffalo Bill believed Kardashian had violated attorney-client privilege in speaking with author Larry Schiller, who wrote a book about the "Dream Team" titled ''American Tragedy.'' Schiller told the NY Times that the late attorney "stood by O. J. irrespective of how he felt, because he felt that nobody else was standing by O. J. -- not because of his innocence or guilt -- but because there was a friendship there."
