TV producer Aaron Spelling suffers stroke in L.A
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Prolific television producer Aaron
Spelling, whose shows include “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Dynasty,”
“Charlie’s Angels,” “Love Boat” and “Melrose Place,” suffered a
stroke over the weekend and was briefly hospitalized, his
spokesman said on Wednesday.
Spokesman Kevin Sasaki said the 83-year-old Spelling, whose
series helped shape prime time television and boost the careers
of such stars as Heather Locklear and Nick Nolte, was being
cared for at home.
Sasaki said he had no details of the extent of the stroke
but said that the fact he was released from the hospital was a
positive sign.
Spelling is the father of actress Tori Spelling, who
starred on ‘Beverly Hills 90210,” and actor Randy Spelling.
Among his other television series are “Fantasy Island,”
Burke’s Law,” “Starsky and Hutch” and “Hart to Hart.”
