No wonder Aaron Spelling made it so big! One look at him here and we can see where Tori gets her looks!

Ireneparalegal · 10-30-2007, 07:41 PM

You know, the first time I ever read anything abt Aaron Spelling, was in a magazine. I believe it was Redbook. This was somewhere around 1978, not sure, but Tori was around 10 years old. I remember reading this article and it showed a pic of him, his wife Candy, and the kids. I kept wondering why this gorgeous woman was with this ugly, skinny man. As I read the article I come to find out this was thee Aaron Spelling who was behind the hit shows that I was watching during the 70's. The article went on to say how Aaron and Candy, while dating, would be seen around Hollywood smooching it up like teenagers in love, making out in their car, etc. It also mentioned his appearance in ILL. I was shocked as hell. It was after reading the article I realized what a great couple they were and how much in love they were. I even remember the picture of the kids and how Tori had a very short haircut. It was the only time I remember her with her natural hair color. She of course has her father's facial features.

Huh, maybe that she's an uggo, just like daddy, LOL! But uggos with money get the pretty babes don't they? LOL! I also was shocked when i first read that the man who made hundreds of millions as producer and later syndicater of half the dramas on TV had guest starred on I Love Lucy, i watched the show he was on and freaked, had no idea. Same as Cher's mom in that french fashion show. Aaron had hte biggest mansion in Hollywood, i google it often, i think he bought FOUR lots, including Bing Crosby's old mansion to build this gigantic home with even a GIFT WRAPPING ROOM, ah yes, lifestyles of the obscenely rich.

Ireneparalegal · 10-31-2007, 04:59 PM

Yes, a gift-wrapping room and her famous doll room, where she keeps her collectibles. They also have the indoor bowling alley. I forgot what other rooms they have.

Tori has some kind of reality show which the name escapes my mind but it is related to an 'Inn' that she owns with her hubby. Airs on Oxygen or WE.
She also took some courses to become a minister and perform weddings; she married a gay couple on the show.

I can see where Tori got those popped-out eyes but, frankly, I always thought Tori was cute..no great beauty perhaps, but, deffinately cute

Ok, maybe CUTE like a mouse is CUTE, LOL! This just shows you the obscene amount of money that can be made from syndicationm of a show, Desi sold it to CBS to buy RKO so his kids don't live in a Spelling mansion today, LOL! And he also cut his daughter out of his will, which is why she's working at the inn, LOL!

I wouldn't have known that was Aaron Spelling if I hadn't read Stacy's post first. I read someplace where Mr. Spelling's acting career was fairly short-lived, and he decided to move behind the scenes into production. I think we can all agree he made a wise choice!

Mr. & Mrs. Spelling sure had a very successful marriage -especially for Hollywood. They were together for about 38 years, I believe. Other people sure could learn from them - like, their daughter. (Remember she dumped her first husband of less than a year for the current one? I think he also left his wife to be with Tori.

)

Well, she can't be very easy to live with as she was the spoiled little princess, i wonder how their son turned out, you don't hear much about him, and at least he was left something in the father's will.

catlover79 · 11-02-2007, 12:05 PM

^ I read a "where are they now" article about Randy Spelling a few months back in Soap Opera Digest, and it seems he is now behind the scenes himself. He is producing indie films.

I'm sure, with daddy's moolah of course, LOL! Love that Marion Lorne pic in your avatar by the way.

It's called Inn Love.

It's kind of a cute show. How come Tori's dad cut her out of the will?

Thanks Laura! I always seem to get the names confused.

Actually over the summer there was a reality show (another one

) called SONS OF HOLLYWOOD and it featured Randy Spelling, the son of Rod Stewart and some other guy. They shared a Hollywood home and Randy seemed very well-adjusted. During the filming of the show, is when Aaron Spelling became deathly ill and Randy was told on the phone, while they were filming, that his father was on his deathbed. It was indeed sad and it made me cry to see Randy react the way he did. Very touching. Rod Stewart's son on the other hand, is a typical Hollywood brat, spoiled, has "singing aspirations" and basically is just a wise-guy with a drinking problem. I guess he will live off of daddy's money forever.
