IT is really not hard to see why Aaron Spelling (April 22, 1923 – June 23, 2006) is regarded as America’s most successful and inexhaustible television producer with close to 5,000 hours of programming to his credit since 1956 (it’s even in the Guinness Book of World Records!). In his career spanning almost 50 years in showbiz, Spelling worked on more than 200 productions (TV series and movies – as writer, producer, and other job functions), many of which became cult classics among viewers the world over.
