Countdown to Goodbye! (please read): https://civitai.com/articles/12655

Actress series: Rebecca Lucille Schaeffer. Trained on a small dataset (120+ images). Sample images generated WITHOUT any other LoRAs (except my own) as a demonstration of this LoRA's capabilities.

Made this since she was tragically killed so young. Curated from lower quality images of her that exist from the 80s. Pair with my 80s fashion style lora for added effect.

Check out my checkpoint merges here: Aneurysm (realism-newly updated with v2), Acoustica (semi-real) and Anabolic (modern anime). Download my other LoRAs here

About the subject:

Promising actress and model who was tragically killed at the age of 21 by a stalker.

Born November 6, 1967 in Oregon, she initially aspired to become a rabbi before starting modelling during her junior year in high school. At 16, she moved to New York City with her parents' permission to pursue modeling with the Elite Model Management agency. Standing just 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), she struggled to find work as she was considered too short for high-fashion modeling, and briefly moved to Japan in hopes of finding more modeling jobs, but was unsuccessful.

She then pivoted to acting, landing short-term roles on daytime soap operas Guiding Light and One Life to Live, before finally getting her big break when she won the starring role of Patricia "Patti" Russell on the tv sitcom My Sister Sam (1986). My Sister Sam was initially a top-25 hit during it's first season, but was canceled halfway through its second season due to falling ratings.

This however lead to a movie career, with supporting roles in the films Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1988), Out of Time (1988), Voyage of Terror: The Achille Lauro Affair (1990), and The End of Innocence (1990), some of which were released after her death.

On July 18, 1989, a 19-year-old obsessed fan shot and killed her at her home in West Hollywood. He had stalked her for over three years and wrote numerous letters, one of which she previously answered. The killer had watched her appear in a scene where she was in bed with another actor in the black comedy film, Scenes from the Class Struggle in Beverly Hills (1989). Enraged & jealous, he then paid a detective agency to find her home address through the DMV, obtaining a hand-gun and traveling to Los Angeles to confront her. Events lead to him shooting her in the chest at point-blank range in the doorway of her apartment building. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead 30 minutes after her arrival. The killer was later caught, and confessed to the murder.

Several federal laws were enacted in response to this incident, including The Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994, which prevents the DMV from releasing private addresses, and the first anti-stalking laws in the California Penal Code. At the time of her death, she was dating director Brad Silberling who later made the film Moonlight Mile (2002) in her memory. She was buried at Ahavai Sholom Cemetery in Portland, Oregon.
