Rebecca Schaeffer began modeling at the age of 16, going off to New York on her own to begin her career. Four months later, she found herself in Japan, modeling. Eventually, she landed a co-starring role on My Sister Sam (1986), for which she is now best known. In 1989 she also became a spokesperson for Thursday's Child, a charity for at-risk teens.
In April of that same year, having missed a signing due to filming, she reluctantly went to a girls' shelter to sign autographs. "No one will recognize me", she insisted, "or want my autograph," but as it turned out all of them did. In fact, the girls were so in awe that they invited her to the Renaissance Fair in May; Rebecca accepted.
Only two months later, she lay dead on the pavement in front of her new apartment in West Hollywood, having been shot to death by a paranoid schizophrenic fan around her age, Robert John Bardo, who came to her apartment asking for an autograph. She obliged, even though she was busy rehearsing in her apartment for the most important role of her short career. He later said he felt rejected by her because she didn't spend more time with him at her door.
He returned a few minutes later, pressed the buzzer, and when she again opened the door for him, he shot her once in the chest, placing the bullet directly into her heart. Rebecca screamed out, "Why?" then fell backward in the doorway, and was pronounced dead at Cedars-Sinai hospital within minutes of arriving there by ambulance after the shooting.
The killer fled to Tucson, AZ, and the next morning the previously diagnosed "psychiatric patient" was found walking blindly, appearing to be hoping to be hit and killed by a car or truck on a major highway. He was subsequently arrested, transferred back to Los Angeles, and plea-bargained for a life sentence without the possibility of parole, with a then-young assistant district attorney named Marcia Clark, who later became famous for her failed attempt to convict O.J. Simpson of murder. There was a trial by Judge that lasted a month, because the obsessed fan changed his mind about the plea bargain agreement, and pleaded an 'insanity defense'. He was found guilty, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
She was buried at Ahavai Sholom Cemetery in Portland.

She was so young and so beautiful, truly horrific what happened to her!! My Sister Sam was such a great show for it's time. Thanks so much for letting me come along at the end while you were in Portland. I still can't believe that little tile I painted and put on her grave in 2018 was still on her grave today!! RIP Rebecca.
It really is amazing that the tile you painted was still on the grave. Very kind of you to leave it & great job in the video.
@@nickyinflorida Thank you! Yeah, I was so amazed to see it was still on the grave. Bummer the painted heart had faded away from the tile but now I know for the future and will look into a stronger longer lasting sealer top coating for them.
Respectfully asking, what is the significance of leaving a stone behind on the grave and is that part of tradition at Jewish cemeteries or all graves?
Her story is absolutely devastating. She was denied all the success she was destined to have by a delusional fan apparently in denial of reality altogether. It's only right for In the end he too was denied a life of success.
I remember when this happened. It really scared Hollywood and others into realizing how scary so called fans could be. They started seeing more clearly about "Stalking " but it still took years for other states to catch up about how dangerous this behavior is. Rest easy Rebbeca❤🙏
It's really sad that her death made people take stalking laws very seriously.
Scott you are the man. The world needs more ppl like you!!!! Don’t change!
It meant a lot to me when he did a live stream one time and I said a couple things and he responded back. Some TH-camrs won’t even do that, like Scott is actually interested in what people have to say. I said something about Burlington my town I live in and he was like oh I was just there. I’d love to shake Scott’s hand and maybe go on an adventure somewhere with him. Such a cool guy and so nice and friendly. Very very likeable fella
Amen to that!!
@@Stewieboy1995 i remember that !
@@Stewieboy1995 yes Scott replies to us and cares for his subscribers. I will always support his work!
I wholeheartedly agree ❤😊
I remember this. It was a cute show. She had her whole life ahead of her with lots of success. RIP Rebecca. Thank you Scott for all you do ❤
My gf and I lived in the same area and once we heard the news, we walked over out of curiosity. I wish we hadn't, seeing the broken glass and police tape was traumatic. I still recall the chilling feeling.
Rebecca’s death was heartbreaking. And I remember how shook Hollywood became after it happened. She was a bright light that was extinguished too soon! ❤
Scott thank you for telling Rebecca's story. How heartbreaking 💔😢Robert seems like he had a lot of mental problems. Glad he's still in jail.
seems?? awww he did lol
I remember this so well because I had dance mates that were roommates with Rebecca in New York the year before she got My Sister Sam. They were devastated as expected because they all stayed in touch with her. They say she was a sweet girl and a great friend. I loved that show…it was a horror story to say the least. Thanks for posting
It's so easy these days to get someone's address, court records are public and so is home tax assessments there is no privacy, great video per usual Scott
I remember hearing about Rebecca Schaeffer's murder as a teenager. My Sister Sam was a great show & she really was on the brink of become a huge star. I always remember seeing her in all the teen magazines, especially Seventeen. It's just so tragic her life was taken. As you mentioned, it was very similar to what happened to Dominique Dunne. Also, was unaware of the murderer using the U2 song, Exit, as part of his defense. But, it was very common for many criminals in the 1980's to say that certain songs, books, or movies were responsible for their actions, which is just absurd. Hello and thank you to Marie for the additional information & it is just amazing that tile that she left is still on the grave. The cemetery is truly beautiful. Scott, appreciate the way you recount a story and alway grateful we get to join along. Take care.
Scott - you do such a good job - you are descriptive and respectful - it’s hard to believe how much time has passed since this took place.
I’m a big fan of your channel. Keep up the great content!
Thank you Jay !
Like alot of other comments, I remember when this happened. I think I was around 11 years old. Used to watch My Sister Sam. I thought Rebecca Schaffer was so pretty. I wanted to be like her. It's so crazy to think now that at that time you could get access to celebrities that easily! Such a tragedy. But, as always, you do a great job covering it 🙂
A superb video as always Scott, and yet another tragic Hollywood tale! I went past Rebecca's former home back in 2007, while on Scott Michael's Dearly Departed Tour, and it really sent a shiver down my spine. Such a senseless loss of a shining star, with so much more to give. Bless ya...
I remember the show , and when she was murdered. I didn’t know all of the details though. I just knew that she was shot by a stalker as she opened the door for him. Thanks for filling in the gaps, Scott, and for allowing us to pay our respects through your videos.
Scott’s videos are always so respectful…RIP 😔
Love that you did this!
Such a sad story, i remember when this happened..i was a senior in high school, I loved My Sister Sam!
Anyways, Thank you for another terrific video..
I really like how compassionate you are about the victims.
You should have your own TV show!!
Aww this was so sad 😞 who knew where her career could’ve gone such a shame. RIP Rebecca ❤️🙏🏻✝️❤️
Very tastefully done as always, Scott. Editing and finding suitable music I know takes a lot (married to a video editor), so I believe this deserves thanks to what is such a sad story.
Thank u Scott…. So sad to hear. Stay cool out in the heat. Love from Socal.
I remember being sad when I saw that she was killed. I never saw her in anything but the fact that she was so young and had her life and careeer ahead of her and someone took that away. Glad to see someone thinks along the same lines as I do Scott. I don't believe in the death penalty. Not because it's killing someone but because I don't think they should just die....there's no suffering for them. Besides, it take 20, 30, 40 years for them to be killed. I want a torture chamber for the rest of their lives. That fresh grave next to Rebecca's is her mother's who died in 2022.
According to TMHGOD ALMIGHTY'S HOLY WORDS: There Is No Rest For The Wicked and Hell and Heaven Are Real Dwelling Places. Hell is the Complete Opposite of Heaven. If You Actually Respectfully Ask the HOLY GHOST to Reveal The TRUTH to U, and U Actually Read and Study the HOLY BIBLE...You Will Learn Just How the Dammed Souls Are Tortured For Eternity in Hell Fire. That's Only Part of the Eternal Punishment. Giant Demons and Devils Beat, Torture and Drag the Unrighteous Souls to the Gates of Hell before they Even Get Thrown Inside of the Actual Levels Hell. Also, Each Soul That DIES w/o True Repentance, By Forfeited and Blasphemy The HOLY GHOST/SPIRIT ( THE 1 UNFORGIVABLE SIN) Will Be Tortured Day and Night With Whatever Sins They Partook In While Alive On Earth.

Scott, I love your channel...you always know all the correct facts ,wondering how much research do you do for each video. Thank you for always being so respectful visiting the graves, that is so important! ❤❤❤
I have not yet seen any of the work that Rebecca Schaeffer did. However, sadly I am familiar with her murder. You have done a great job once again telling the story of a promising star who's light was faded out way too soon.
My sister sam was my all time favorite show back then. I've never forgotten Rebecca. Sweet, sweet, incredibly talented young woman. RIP Rebecca ❤❤❤🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊
I remember when this murder case took place back in 1989. I had been familiar with Rebecca Schaeffer by seeing her act in the series, "My Sister Sam" back in 1986/1987. When her murder happened, it was a complete shock. But as a 9 year old kid, I thought Rebecca was just randomly killed. It wasn't until adulthood that I did some serious research on this case and found out how and why Rebecca was killed. All I can say is that this case is both sad and scary. And I have been to the apartment building where the murder took place a few times in the past. At night, the building looks eerie. But during the day, it looks normal.
I remember when this happened too I was 8 years old smh
As kids it seems like we look at all murders as random. I know I did. Too young to understand why someone would do such a thing.
Such a good job as you usually do on stories like this. Scott Michaels of Dearly Departed has also done a great job of covering this tragedy as well
Rebecca was so pretty. I watched My Sister Sam and read magazine articles about her, she really had a bright future ahead of her. Needless to say I was shocked by her murder like everyone else. When I first saw photos of Bardo, I thought wtf, so freakish looking.😱 Thanks Scott and Marie. RIP Rebecca 💖🌻🌈🕊️
It's terrible what he did to her. and indeed I hope he suffers too. Than😢you Scott for sharing this video. May Rebecca rest in peace 💞
Beautiful girl sad story 💔 just Terrible !! Scott my man great work as always. H45 this year ???
Scott you tell stories very well and I love how your compassionate about them please don’t ever change
This case hit me at heart, no sense at all to do a crime like this. I visited her grave and paid my respects. Thank for this video, I can only imagine how big a star she could've been. RIP Rebecca
Rip Rebecca
That is pretty crazy your friends stone has stayed there for that long. It's always sad to hear of these deranged fan stories RIP Rebecca
Great to see Marie again. As always, Scott, we are never so lost that our angels cant find us. You are an angel amoung us, sir. ❤
Her tragedy helped a lot of people going forward but it should never take a death for this to happen
Hi Scott
I remember when this happened. So devastating. I felt so much sadness. Rebecca had such a bright future. Thank you for remembering her. Your compassion shines thru.
🕊️🙏❤️
It's just so sad that celebrities like Rebecca need to worry about crazies like him. I can't blame a single one of them for living in a gated community. The problem is that it takes time to gain the kind of fame that will allow a celebrity to live in such a place. In the meantime, they are walking targets for all these mentally ill folks who think they belong to them. I myself go back and forth on the death penalty and life in prison. I don't want people like this walking on this earth with the rest of us, but at the same time, I wish they would suffer while they are here among us. My belief, though, is that in the end, no matter when that is, there is a divine master that will see to it that justice is done for all eternity. What a shame this happened to her. Rebecca's words are right, though. Love will always win, and I'm sure she is surrounded by that love all around her now. RIP Rebecca ❤ 💐
Hello to Marie! I'm enjoying your wonderful channel tons!
Reading a bunch of lines on a script is not hard work.
@@bradt6740good let me see how easy it is for you lol
Theresa didn't die, from that horrible assault. She became an advocate. I remember the day, Rebecca died this Month in 1989. So sad. She was so young.R.I.P. Rebecca 🙏🏿💔❤️
Theresa Salvado survived her attack and made a movie about what happened.Later in years starred in the commish.Then past away a few yrs later rip
@@dianavalentine922 R.I.P she did die years later.🙏🏿❤️💔❤️
@@dianavalentine922RIP Theresa❤🙏🕊🪶
Good Video
Hi Scott. I'm looking forward to watching this.
A beautiful woman taken for no reason - absolutely senseless. A respectful and interesting video. Keep doing what you are doing. Thank you 🙂
You finally did it, Scott!!!! I remember suggesting you do this a few years ago, when you did your video on Selina Quintanilla!!!!
I wasn't familiar with Rebecca Schaefer. I do follow film and television stories but not nearly as much these past 10+ years. Thank you for sharing your hard work with us. This was indeed tragic what happened to her and many rising stars, unfortunately. But there is a saying about these so-called "fans." Anybody who attacks a celebrity is not a fan. Thanks again, Scott ❤
Great episode! Welcome back to Portland. I saw the Rowdy Piper and I didn’t know he was buried here and a few weeks ago I went and visited it. My wife and I visited Rebecca’s grave a long time ago.
My stress relief after work!!!!! Your awesome😊
🙏Thanks for Sharing! 😢
Brilliant video yet again.....such a shame such a loss..rip rebecca
Another good one, Scott! I believe the DMV had to change the laws regarding looking up addresses for the public after this. I think it was around this time.
The public cannot look up anyone's address in public any longer without some kind of law enforcement authority.
I went to her grave in April and took a photo and remember seeing Marie Winton's rock in the exact spot as in this video. Also almost all of the other rocks were in the same spots.
Very good job, very respectful... Thank you for sharing
Crazy I remember this so well. Teen magazines also stopped publication of celebrity addresses as well. People used to be able to write to celebrities that way but that also stopped after this.
Never heard of her before. Thanks 👍
Another great video, from California to Oregon absolutely love your dedication and commitment to delivering these stories, Thanks a bunch Scott...👋

Scott your videos are 5 star and respectfull. Double thumbs up👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Yeah I remember when this tragedy happened. Scott, u are so respectful and descriptive. Really informative. Thank u 😊
You should do one on Doroty Stratten, Playmate of the Year 1980. Horrific death. I've been to her death house, and it gave me chills standing on the sidewalk across the street.
Already have it’s up on my channel 😊😊
Like how you personally walked around showing the city. Most ppl just use still images or pictures. Nicely done yo. Even tho it's not a great topic awesome job of the video
Thank you so Much for this information
Two hundred thousand subscribers Plus. Can't wait till you get much mad respect even madder than what you have now!!
Another tastefully and informative video, Scott. So well done. I live in Portland right across the river from where Rebecca's cemetery is. I had no idea she was buried there. In RiverView Cemetery right next door, Former NFL star and actor Lyle Alzado is buried. He blamed his early death on heavy steroid use. Take care, Ed
Very interesting documentary thanks.
I just wanted to say thank you...🌻😊
Love watching your videos Scott ! Done with such respect and fascinating to listen too x
Great video I didn't know who she was but now I do why I love the channel and what Scott do. so sad what happened to her rest easy she was a beautiful woman 🙏🏼❤️
When you said ACTRESS you were perfectly right. Keep it up.
hey scott❤ luv your vlogs, we luv you!! thank you for telling this story! I remember this heart breaking 💔!! luv ya from somerville Massachusetts!! Rip Rebecca Shaffer
Love your videos Scott
So sad. I remember when the story aired on the news, I was 9yo at the time. The low life had the audacity to show in court her reaction to being shot by him. Thank you Scott for continuing the amazing videos.
A beautiful, young and talented actress gone too soon. I remember this story. ❤️
Love your videos scott from 🇬🇧
Love the show My Sister Sam. She was a great actress my favorite on the show. Thank you Scott for doing a video about her.
Rip.thanks for video
So very sad
As always tastefully done Scott
Thanks for sharing and my check up went good ,all is well thankfully
Scott I all ways learn so much from you keep up your the great work
Yet another Stella Episode :)
Scott, great site, absolutely awesome!! So full of info, story telling, and your camera recordings in 4k are superior quality . The 4k is Better than the majority of what is on TH-cam.
Hey Scott .. I enjoy your stuff.
I used to have the July 25th edition of People Magazine with her on the cover telling about her murder.
I remember that People Magazine cover. That was the first I heard about Rebecca's murder.
Sensitive delivery as usual. Enjoy your vlogs. I find this heartbreaking. Taken way too soon 😢
What a very sad story! Your so kind Scott! Thank you for the video ❤️ can’t get enough of your work
I heard of this story before , but not in details ,like this one , Rebecca was a beautiful woman and , had a whole life ahead of her , very sad story .i hope her murder doesn't get out like Leslie from manson family . the murders deserve to rot in a cell or death penalty. i am glad you focus on the victims instead of the monster . Thank you very much Scott for all the hard work you put in these videos . ✌️ ✌️ out
That Leslie is supposed to be dead years ago they got the death penalty and they should all be dead Sharon Tate and her baby and all the others there never had a chance for parole it's so wrong she is free to have her life after they didn't give that chance to them what's wrong with the laws of California they mean nothing
I remember this tragic story like it was yesterday. I think Rebecca's murder helped stalking laws so this will not happen again. She did not die in vain hopefully. RIP Beautiful talented woman. ❤💜🌹💔
Good content as always Scott. Be safe out there! Such a waste with beautiful Rebecca 😢
