June 2006
Following a stroke on June 18, Hollywood producer Aaron Spelling, known for his numerous television hits, died June 23, 2006 at the age of 83. He was best known for dramas such as Dynasty, Melrose Place, and Beverly Hills 90210. He also had a hand in producing more than 140 made for TV movies.
His daughter Tori Spelling has certainly enjoyed her share of time in the tabloid spotlight lately. Less than a year after splitting from husband Charlie Shanian, Tori embarked on her second marriage to actor Dean McDermott in a small ceremony in Fiji that included just the two of them. Reports claimed that Aaron was devastated at the thought of not being invited to his daughter's nuptials. With Spelling's passing, Hollywood will certainly be mourning the loss of a great legend.
