35 years ago He Decided She Should be Punished



Model and actress Rebecca Lucile Schaeffer is shot dead by 19-year-old stalker Robert John Bardo at the age of 22 in 120 N. Sweetzer Ave #4, West Hollywood, California, United States.


In 1989, after watching Schaeffer in the black comedy 'Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills', in which she appeared in bed with a male actor, Bardo out of apparent jealousy became enraged by the scene and decided that Schaeffer should be punished for becoming "another Hollywood whore".
