CBS/WNEV Thanksgiving Day 1987 - Rebecca Schaeffer 1 of 3

[CrimeKittehs]

I was 7 when this aired. So depressing.

[redgrapeskins]

I was a fan of Rebecca's and My Sister Sam - Thanks for this rare footage--I missed it and I live in the Detroit area!! Glad you never erased!!

[Rollman1]

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

[blkplaguelmc]

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

[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.

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

Rebecca Schaeffer is in a better place. She died because our Liberal Government protects the criminals more than than you and I as citizens.

She does not have to live in this evil world anymore where mothers kill their children. And Fathers walk out on their families. Or Children are born crippled, And the world is gradually going insane.

She is better off. It is you and I who are left behind in this shit hole called Earth that are to be pitied.

Just wait till the food prices soar again....

@NolanRogers2

Idiotic statement. Isn't it the liberals who want to ban guns? She may have had a chance of surviving or running if it had been a knife instead. And how would protecting criminals prevent her death if her killer wasn't a known criminal until AFTER he pulled that trigger? On average, liberals are smarter than conservatives (it's been proven). That's why this is so easy for me to make you look stupid.

Rest in Peace, Rebecca

[myexplosun333]

i never saw her before this video, i am too young.

definently she seems like one of those energetic, sexy and fun women that are so hard to find

its so sad :(

[enigma800]

Rebecca, you were beautiful.  RIP.

[mefault]

We all love ya' Rebecca

[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

rip rebecca

When I think of all the actor's that are on tv today they could not even hold Joe Penny's Jock. Joe Penny is a Throwback to actor's like Bogart, Brando, Bronson and McQueen. So, ABC, NBC, CBS and all cable networks you want a real actor this is your man. These kinda of actors come around only once and you Networks don't see it. Shame on you !!! Get this actor back on tv so we can enjoy good acting and not this reality show crap..... Joe Penny is your man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

[robken0174]

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

[VinceBow]

She was beautiful.

[altgal6]

Joe is awesome!

[MagnaderAlpha]

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

[PTH4Fun]

I don't see a CBS Spirit ID.

[MSTS1]

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

[PTH4Fun]

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

[creeingles]

♥ rebecca :)

[Akira625]

Rebecca, so young, pretty and promising. Fate is so cruel. She was killed by a "fan", but what kind of "fan" would do something so heinous? :(

[TheSecretWindowSpott]

wow she was ?

[ohmy123]

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

[knicksfan89]

sadly rebecca was murdered in 1989

[delirium1326]

She looks pretty cute. Too bad some psychotic dipshit retard had to kill her because we was a pathetic lonely failure.

[dgendvil]

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

[stevieboy247]

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

[dgendvil]

Yep.

[wyldchyld76]

I bet Joe really cherishes the moment of sitting next to her and having a good time w/ her at that parade :)

[tygersflowerz]

God I REMEMBER 1987.. well. I broke my left leg that summer. Ow.

Anyway.. Rebecca looks great. :-) It's surreal seeing her talking and smiling.. it's hard to believe she's been gone 18 years. It seems like she should be here. It's hard to imagine what she would look like or if she'd still be in the business. What she'd be doing now. She'd be 40 now.  WOW.

[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...

[wyldchyld76]

So glad you didn't erase it! Thanks a lot for sharing this w/ us! Very rare footage to find of this wonderful young woman!

[moonscape2120]

I didn't know she helped host this parade also! Thanks for posting them!

[wyldchyld76]

She looked adorable even w/ those dorky glasses on, lol. Such a cutie pie... I miss her :'(

[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. :)
