creditLegendary television producer Aaron Spelling died this evening, five days after suffering a stroke. His wife Candy and son Randy were at his side, according to publicist Kevin Sasaki. Spelling's hit shows include "The Mod Squad," "Charlie's Angels," "Dynasty" and "Beverly Hills, 90210" and various spinoffs. He began as an actor, appearing way back in episodes of "I Love Lucy" and "Dragnet." Of course he also famously built the biggest house in Holmby Hills.
