June 24, 200620 yr Legendary TV producer and actor Aaron Spelling died today in Los Angeles. Spelling, father of Tori Spelling, suffered a stroke on June 18, and died from complications from the stroke. Spelling was the producer of several classic TV shows over the past three or so decades, including Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Starsky & Hutch, Hart to Hart, T.J. Hooker, and 7th Heaven. And somewhat more recently, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and Charmed. A lot of people don't know that Spelling actually started as an actor. That's him in the classic I Love Lucy episode "Tennessee Bound," playing the gas station attendant the gang encounters. A true TV icon. R.I.P.
