The End of Innocence is a 1990 semi-autobiographical film starring, written and directed by Dyan Cannon.
Unwanted and ignored by her eternally squabbling parents, a young girl is spiritually torn apart by forces beyond her control.
After suffering a nervous breakdown, she is placed in an asylum, where she is treated for the first time as a human being rather than a nuisance by a compassionate psychiatrist.
Rebecca Schaeffer's final theatrical film before her murder on July 18, 1989, and was released posthumously.
The End of Innocence marks the film debut of future Days of Our Lives star Alison Sweeney.
