Rebecca Schaeffer was certainly an attractive and fast rising young actress in Hollywood. Her career may have reached new heights had she lived beyond the age of 21. Her tragic death resulted in new laws which guarded personal privacy, and safety. However, the sitcom she was featured in was hardly memorable.
The show was fairly mediocre and lasted a little over a season when it was canceled.
The show is now remembered for the fact one of it's stars was murdered by a lunatic. People should get their information straight before posting.
The show was not canceled due to the death of the actress, It was canceled due to poor ratings a year before she died.
