Rebecca was the nicest celebrity I ever met and she was so down to earth! What a shame that creeps down kill themselves instead of innocent people that don't deserve it!

[@Wheelermayfield27]

Did you actually meet her?

[@MagnaderAlpha]

She was so young there! Just 20! It's a sad thing that happened to her. She was a sweetheart, and super cute!

[@funkyflights]

This was over 30 years ago now :( Rebecca would be 51 this month... You deserved your life, sorry for what happened... :(

[@91mrpogi]

Her mom died on what would have been Rebecca's 55th birthday

[@funkyflights]

@@91mrpogi … 😞

Rip rebbeca. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@blkplaguelmc]

These are such a treat to watch right before Thanksgiving. Thanks!!

[@ohmy123]

This is so very sad. She seemed like such a very sweet & nice person. :(

[@v-town1980]

Of course Joe will take those compliments...Rebecca is adorable. RIP, sweetheart, we miss you.

[@smeldogs]

Rest in Peace, Rebecca

[@HaleyMary]

The pets, not the relatives. Rebecca can be funny by just being herself. Thanks for posting this. It's nice to see footage of Rebecca. There's not a whole lot of clips of her on youtube so this was very nice to see. I'm going to check out parts two and three now. :)

[@eambriz86]

Recently went to the house where the tragedy happened. A Very sad place even the vibe you get from it

[@mkl62]

@MSTS1 Thanks for the reply. I hope that the following years can also get posted in the future. 1971, 1988, & 1990. Thanks for posting.

[@haumea420]

Her smile🙌🏾❤🥀💫

[@wallacewallace8850]

that glasses now are again cool for actual fashion

[@MSTS1]

This tape came very close to being erased only a few years ago, but I changed my mind at the last minute, just in case I could find a use for it...

[@smill1985]

Glad you did! May she RIP.

[@Mahlercougar]

Its such a horrible thing that happened to her, getting murdered by an obsessed stalker. She had so much poential so much going for her.. So peppy and had a beautiful smile. She is the Reason that California prompted the passage of anti-stalking laws in California. RIP Rebecca

[@CrimeKittehs]

I was 7 when this aired. So depressing.

[@karmalevel]

RIP Becca

[@kyleforbes9369]

Rebecca Schaefer was just starting out. It is a shame that her life was cut short by a darn stalker.

[@VinceBowmanComedy]

She was beautiful.

[@corrupt200]

The real irony is that Rebecca's "My Sister Sam" co-star should have been hosting this particular parade, since it is actually she who is from the Detroit area.

[@smill1985]

Right. Pam Dawber.

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

She was so cool to him he messed up pretty bad ..and she was nice about it

[@mkl62]

Thanks for posting this. I hope that more footage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from 1987 gets posted in the future. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I missed it that year.

[@bman342a]

What a bright light tragically snuffed out way to early. To this day this saddens me.

[@mefault]

We all love ya' Rebecca

[@Punnybone55]

I've read several accounts of her murder. They all mention that his older brother purchased and provided the gun, yet none of them say anything about that brother facing any charges or consequences. HUH?!

[@MSTS1]

@mkl62 - Good to know this is still relevant to viewers; glad you like it

[@Rollman1]

She should of been at the Macy's Parade in N.Y.C. it bigger and better

[@MSTS1]

This is in three parts; see the end of Part 3.

[@randyventresca4152]

I feel a bit of shame for having violent instincts. It doesn't solve a thing and would be stooping to his level. But, when I think of what happened, I want at least 10 minutes with the slime ball that did that to her. But, it is nice to see these clips of happy times in Rebecca's life.

[@dgendvil]

The 90 minute Morning Program would be replaced that Monday by This Morning, which was a full two hours.

[@dgendvil]

Yep.

[@morganyork4628]

She was suppose to be on the godfather part 3 , but it didn't happen she to her untimely death

[@randyventresca4152]

She was going to audition for Godfather 3. She had an interview scheduled with Francis Ford Coppola. It was speculated that Rebecca could have thought the slime ball (I don't even want to broadcast his name) was a courier bringing her the script to her apartment that morning. That may be why she originally came down the apartment house stairs when he rang the bell. The intercom was broke. Anyway, Rebecca's mother became an advocate for gun control and The Brady Bill back in the early 90's (the killer was actually too young to buy a gun at that time. So, he got his older brother to buy it for him (called a "straw purchase"). But, Rebecca had such a sweet, fun personality. It really comes out in this parade clip.

[@danielle-g3k]

And pretty woman.

[@Ant_Diesel]

O...awwww...😢😢🙏😇

[@knicksfan89]

sadly rebecca was murdered in 1989

[@donnalombardo1135]

Those were the days no cell phones

[@PTH4Fun]

I don't see a CBS Spirit ID.

[@PTH4Fun]

Ah, that's an answer, Sir. Thanks.

[@stevieboy247]

And I think Rolland Smith moved to WWOR-TV soon after. Didn't he?

[@CatLady-be9tn]

😢

[@rogerpeet7399]

Nothing good about any of this. Sad story.

[@lester5192]

why does she get mad at him for making a shameless self promotion? jealous?

[@lester5192]

***** you don't know that. you weren't there.

[@donnalombardo1135]

She was joking no sense of humor

[@danielle-g3k]

What self promotion?
