Episode 6: The Tragic Murder of 80s TV Star Rebecca Schaeffer, and an Ode to Some of TV’s Best Hair
Manage episode 434073546 series 3585357
This week, Kelly and Stacey are nostalgic and emotional over TV shows of years gone by. We mourn Shannen Doherty, and two of our favorite shows that would never have been the same without her: 90210 and Little House on the Prairie. Then, we unpack the untimely and very heartbreaking murder of a rising 80s TV starlet: Rebecca Schaeffer. Her death was the catalyst for some of the anti-stalking laws we now have in place - but we also offer some additional resources, because - spoiler - you don’t have to be famous to be a victim of stalking. Finally, we lighten things up with some tips for how to get your most epic hair ever. We have lots of great products on the list - including a new-ish line by an A-list TV actress known for many things…especially a certain haircut.
