It was very sweet of Rebecca to want to respond to her fans. Sometimes celebrities just can't win. If you don't return a letter you can also risk that fan getting upset with you and acting on that frustration.
So extremely sad, she was so beautiful and seemed so genuinely nice. The pain her parents must still feel to this day, for losing their one and only daughter :´( . May she rest in peace !
Fake address on DL? No name on the mailbox? Keep "fan mail" a one- way thing? Those things seem very simple and logical to adults. It shows how young and naive she really was.
Eww never noticed how creepy that, My sister Sam song was til now. “Everything starts like a knock at the door. You don’t know what it is, but you know who it’s for”🙁
I remember this. We were about the same age. I just couldn't understand why someone would do that. I'm in a relationship with someone that has a certain amount of notoriety and there are so many things I can't say that I hardly say anything at all. Fame is not all it's cracked up to be and I certainly don't wish it on anyone.
It looked like rebecca was so naive and complacent, she ignored the advices / warnings given by her seniors. So tragic that she paid the cruel hidden price of stardom.. R.I.P cute girl ... 😥😥😥
You do realize it isn't her fault. The person who hurt her, that person is to blame. Not the young woman for wanting to be kind. Put the blame where it lies, with the perpetrator of the crime. None of this is her fault. Not even for a second.
it true it his fault, but is different in N America bands, in the UK answer fan mail, they do not give their address and you even see them in Pubs or Restaurants and fans will not bother them at Pubs or Restaurants so sad she had to pay the ultimate price this is sad it is making me cry.
I don't think the person was saying it's her fault. Of course it's not and everybody would agree. That said, in this complicated world, we need to be alerted especially with strangers, don't take anything for granted, there are evil ppl everywhere, it's just life
Very Sad. Rebecca seemed like such a nice person. And, she was gorgeous 😍. I feel really bad for her mom and dad they lost a child. Because she was So naive and she should have signed her name on a picture. And, That's it no special message or advice. That should have been enough for the common fan. I've never sent a Hollywood celebrity a letter and asking them to write me back when they have time to do so. Because, I don't think people in general are that important. I believe to treat a person as if you yourself would like to be treated.
They’re not blaming her, they were given her advice, because she may not have realized how important that advice was. as a major celebrity, your address should be protected and kept secret.
It feels kind of weird to see the real Rebecca in that interview.She's been gone so long and there isn't enough video or pictures out there.The whole interview should be posted.....
I see a lot of Kristen Stewart in her! So crazy. I’ve actually never heard of this young girl before. She was taken away about a month before I was born. Such a heartbreaking story.
It’s sad that she didn’t have a steady parent or manager who looked out for her. I know people gave her advice but she was already used to being independent that she thought she knew everything.
The sadness is what happened to Rebecca was a one in a billion tragedy. Most celebs aren't gunned down by fans. I can think of just 3 off the top of my head. Who believes that someone you wrote a little postcard response to is going to show up at your door and shoot you dead? Her parents are fine people, to even suggest that this is their fault is ridiculous.
You doing too much this was definitely the '80s and things were different back then. I heard so many celebrities from back then who were teenagers in the 80s who moved across States and everything else. Back then people didn't know that fans would become super obsessed and crazy and harm people. Her case is really what changed the laws about stalking and what really makes celebrities be more cautious of the way they do things. Do not blame her mother and father who lost their only child due to a deranged man. Please blame the derange man who took that young lady's life. I hate when y'all started victim blaming people who lost their children
I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often to be honest, celebrities are out there on the screen all the time etc and there's a lot of nutcases about, it must be scary, I'd hate it or at least hire 24/7 security to go everywhere with me
She wrote and directed the film ‘Waitress’, it’s since been made into a musical too. She was killed in New York with her death originally thought to be a suicide.
Ok I'm sorry I'm off topic but theyre Playing DayBreaks by Private Parties at 5:05 and I screamed so hard because I've only heard that song once and it's so hard to find online besides YT
I actually remember watching that Thanksgiving Parade from November of 1986 hosted by Rebecca Schaeffer and David Rappaport when it was live on television! I was seven and a half years old at the time and I was already familiar with David Rappaport from the adventure series he starred in at the time called "The Wizard". However, I never watched that show. I only watched commercial promos for it at the time and remembered seeing him and realizing he was a midget. I wasn't familiar with Rebecca Schaeffer at the time, but I just remembered her hosting that parade with David Rappaport. Sadly on July 18 1989, Rebecca would be murdered by Robert Bardo and less than a year later on May 2 1990, David Rappaport took his own life. It's really sad. They both seemed like such wonderful, down to earth people in general! Rest In Peace David Rappaport! - November 23 1951 - May 2 1990 Rest In Peace Rebecca Schaeffer! - November 6 1967 - July 18 1989 ~Dutch
@@tynicole88 I have read several times on these threads people thinking that and I am going what for Kristen to me has a dull serious face and she has that blah expression whereas Rebecca is so beautiful and effervescent and radiates sweetness.
There is no one that could play her in a movie. She was as real as anyone could be, there was nothing fake about her. Rebecca was completely herself. She was very mature for her age and very aware of things. She had a lot of inner strength and courage to do the things she did at her age. Her life, as short as it was, should be an inspiration to others to pursue there dreams and ambitions. She was very thoughtful of others, maybe too thoughtful and kind.. But that was Rebecca. She once said that life is not a movie, she was right. She also once said, that she thought love will always prevail. I like to think she was right.
Did you not hear how it happened and again I have to say you're very I'm thinking to say something like that that could be harmful to the parents you disgust me you should take the post down
It was the person working at the DMV office. That's why the DMV made it so no matter what they won't give out anyone's address. Because of Rebecca Schaeffer murder.
Lifetime They Should Do A Biopic Movie Story About Rebecca Schaefer If They Do A Biopic Movie Story About Rebecca Schaefer Too Be Honest With You I Think That Actor Victoria Justice Would Be A Good Choice Too Play Rebecca Schaefer I Hope That Do Happen Some Day Victoria Justice Play Rebecca Schaefer On Biopic Movie Story About Rebecca Schaefer
Kinda sad her costar was watching out more for her than her actual parents who let her just leave home at 16 on her own. Kid actors parents either care too much or not enough. It’s sad.
If you've ever seen E True Hollywood Story on Rebecca, her manager Sue Cameron talked about how they had "Another Mother's club" with Sue and a couple of other women. They would watch out for Rebecca, take her out to dinner, the movies and check up on her.
Pretty insensitive to the parents Steph.... She was being looked after by her modeling agent until she was old enough to live on her own... Don't blame the parents for this.
Don Chonealyo The O'NEAL what parent would let their child move to New York at the age of 16??? Yes! That’s irresponsibility on their behalf! Practically unheard of in this day and age!
Why on Earth would you bring that up now her parents don't need to be reminded of that it's just senseless of you to say something like that you really should be ashamed and you're the only one that can take that comment down I think you should
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the woman (I think it's her mom) who expressed concern about Rebecca answering fan mail with anything more than a signed photograph....isn't she the same woman that allowed Rebecca to go to New York ALONE at SIXTEEN years of age? It seems as if she's embellishing the story about her concern about fan mail. I can't imagine that a woman who allows her SIXTEEN year old daughter to go to New York ALONE would actually be concerned about her answering fan mail with more than a signed photo.
Pam especially is boring. She got lucky with Mork and Mindy. I have never understood her appeal. She was not a good lead in My Sister Sam. The rest of the cast was good but she lacked what a lead needs. She was not funny and had no charisma.
What do I care. I got the same amount as I did in 1986. I get the same amount, no matter what. Title or no title, still within top 10 in 2019, I speculate, I guess. I'll decide, the final discussion...
Its sad how people on tv are worshipped like gods. In other countries the top tv/movie actors have their names listed in the phone book and are very normal in public. In my only fan letter I ever wrote to a Czech actor in his performance in the Oscar winning movie Musime si Pomahat he responded and I later met him at a local restaurant where I was staying. He drove me home with the tuxedo he would wear for a tv special hanging over the back seat. Everything seemed so normal. In America that would never happen.
Now I understand why celebs need to create boundaries, people are nuts!
and to let other people know that there inferior
Especially trump supporters!!!
@@cardinalsfan8182You need to capitalize "Trump". Edit your comment and re-post it so "Trump" is capitalized.

She was naturally pretty and had a real, unpretentious personality.
That clearly goes without saying!

I remember all of this. Rebecca was such a beautiful soul. Miss her talent
A shining star was taken away too soon. #RIP 😟
That’s good Pam had her own experience so that she could warn and advise Rebecca.

That fact that somebody warned her and she still didn’t think it made sense is scary in itself
You are missed Rebecca Schaeffer.
Ms. Cameron said to Rebecca Schaeffer, "They are not your friends." How right she was. (7:19)
This is just so heartbreaking . . .
My bad/badd Pam Daenerys, other (s) had /did warn her!!!!
Error I meant Pam Dawber, others had warned Rebecca Shaffer !!!!!!
She was so cute.
Why doesn't TV play re-runs of this show, i remember liking it when i was a teenager...
Good question. This and "My Two Dads."
I remember when USA cable was showing this show after Rebecca's murder.

She was basically the Christina Grimmie of that 80s generation.
Very sweet lady bless her heart
Very pretty young woman,Rest in peace Rebecca
I remember it in the news. Such a tragedy for such a young woman.
Shannonm75 you do? Unfortunately I was born in ‘88. You’re blessed to have lived in the 80’s.
That little TV guide that you got at the supermarket, had some damn good articles... short, but good...
It was ruined when they enlarged the magazine.
Rebecca Schaeffer reminded me so much of Brittany Murphy, when she first started. Both actresses died tragic deaths very young.
It’s so sad to see how these grate actors died. 😭

Wonder if this drove Pam into retirement and became a stay at home mom.
I read Pam said she wanted to be there while her children grew up, but I bet this was a factor also in her not doing much acting in the last 30 years.
I hate how they are blaming her basically. “I told her not to but she did anyway.” Umm how about actually blame the sick person?
They’re not blaming her, they were given her advice, because she may not have realized how important that advice was. as a major celebrity, your address should be protected and kept secret.

TV Guide was the number 1 magazine in America in the 80's LOL
It was a good mag with wonderful articles. I stopped reading it when they enlarged it. lol
Yeah, it wasn't just TV listings. It had various articles and crossword puzzles.

No. Not at all.
why weren’t her parents out there with her :( They really needed to be looking out for her.
They both had their careers in Portland Oregon and she was of age. Even if they had been with her I doubt it would have saved her.
