Stories from Candyland by Candy Spelling

Stories from Candyland by Candy Spelling

Candy Marer spent her girlhood dreaming of meeting Rock Hudson, but when she finally had the chance - on her second date with future husband Aaron Spelling - she was so shy she hid all night in the powder room. How Candy Spelling morphed from the girl whose life was equally defined by hopes and fears to the seemingly-confident, stylish trophy wife of television mogul Aaron Spelling, is at the heart of "Stories From Candyland". The life Candy created for herself and her family: her husband and children Tori and Randy, is fabulous, fun, over-the-top, full of insecurities and often magical. She designed and presides over the largest house in Los Angeles (70,000 square feet). She stopped production on "Dynasty" because an engagement ring was not spectacular enough for the character. Oprah threw her into a major panic with a discussion of hoarding. She turned their Holmby Hills home into a winter wonderland with imported snow machines at Christmas-time, dressed her children in costumes she designed with Hollywood's top artists for Halloween, and used her dog to determine who belongs in her home. When the Spellings travelled to Europe, no fewer than fifty-two pieces of designer luggage travelled with them. And Candy and Aaron's marriage was one of Hollywood's happiest and most enduring, ending only with his death in 2006. "Stories From Candyland" is what Candy has discovered about the art of living, delivered in Candy's unique yet down-to-earth voice, revealing her failures and the excitement, and reminiscing about shared experiences of her generation. After 40 years as a Hollywood celebrity-byrelation, Candy Spelling has learned how to tell good stories.

CANDY SPELLING, whose husband Aaron produced America's favorite entertainment (Dynasty, Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Beverly Hills 90210), is one of Hollywood's most famous women. Her marriage was one of Tinseltown's happiest and most enduring, ending only with Aaron's death in 2006. Since then, Candy began her own entertainment and media career, with a new TV series, Bank of Hollywood, co-producing Promises, Promises on Broadway and writing on a variety of pop culture topics for TMZ.com, The Huffington Post and momlogic.com and as a contributing editor for Los Angeles Confidential Magazine. She is involved with a number of charitable and public service organizations, and is in the process of downsizing from Spelling Manor to a 17,000 square foot condominium in Century City.
