Rebecca started her career as a model when she was 16 years old and moved to New York City on her own to launch her profession. After another four months had passed, she found herself modelling in Japan. Eventually, she was offered a co-starring part on the 1986 television show My Sister Sam, for which she is now mostly recognised. In addition, she started working as a spokeswoman for Thursday’s Child in the same year, which is an organisation that helps troubled teenagers. Due to the fact that she had to skip a signing in April of the same year because she was shooting, she went to a girls’ shelter against her will to sign autographs. In spite of her insistence that “no one would know me” and “no one will want my signature,” it turned out that every single one of them did. In point of fact, the girls were so impressed by her that they extended an invitation to Rebecca to accompany them to the Renaissance Fair in May, and she accepted. Just two months later, she lay dead on the pavement in front of her new apartment in West Hollywood. She had been shot to death by a paranoid schizophrenic fan around her age named Robert John Bardo, who had come to her apartment asking for an autograph. Bardo had come to her apartment asking for an autograph. She complied, despite the fact that she was busy practising in her apartment for the part that would prove to be the most significant of her brief acting career. Later on, he said that he had a sense of rejection from her due to the fact that she did not spend more time with him at her door. After he left, he went back a few minutes later and hit the doorbell. When she opened the door for him again, he shot her once in the chest, and the bullet went straight into her heart. Rebecca yelled out “Why?” before falling backward in the doorway. She was declared dead at Cedars-Sinai hospital within minutes of the ambulance transporting her there after the gunshot. The perpetrator of the crime escaped to Tucson, Arizona, and the next morning, the “psychiatric patient” who had been earlier diagnosed was discovered wandering about aimlessly, as if he was wanting to be killed by a passing automobile or truck on a major highway. After that, he was taken into custody, transferred back to Los Angeles, and eventually entered into a plea bargain for a life sentence without the possibility of parole with a then-young assistant district attorney named Marcia Clark, who would later become well-known for her unsuccessful attempt to convict O.J. Simpson of murdering Nicole Brown Simpson. Because the devoted fan changed his mind about the plea bargain deal, there was a trial before the judge that lasted for a whole month. The reason for this was because he pled a “insanity defence.” He was determined to be responsible for the crime, and as a result, he was given a sentence of life imprisonment without the chance of release.
