Aaron Spelling: A Prime-Time Life

Aaron Spelling is one of those people that comes along every century. I had this book on my "to read" list for the longest time, finally got to reading it, and couldn't put it down. Aaron came from humble beginnings to living in the largest house in California. He had no showbiz connections and did it all on his own, from poverty to amazing wealth, and top rated television series which created top stars. This is a great read for anyone interested in Aaron Spelling's personal life, and working in the television industry; you will not believe how many TV shows you've watched that have his name on it.

Hi, I found Mr. Spelling's book entertaining, insightful and innovative because he candidly talks about his humble beginnings growing up in a poor neighborhood in Dallas, being taunted and teased mercilessly, and then discusses how hard he worked to get where he is today! As Candy Spelling, Mr. Spelling's wife and mother of Tori and Randy Spelling, argues in his book, they worked hard and deserve to live in a palatial estate. I couldn't agree more with her commentary. When you work hard, and do the right thing with the right attitude as Mr. Spelling has done, then you deserve to enjoy the fruits of your labor, so kudos goes to Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Spelling and their children for working hard and maintaining a strong work ethic. Anyone who is a fan of Mr. Spelling's work, will thoroughly enjoy this informative, entertaining and down-to-earth memoir. It's almost as if Mr. Spelling is in the room with you talking to you about his life. Very enjoyable! I give his autobiography the highest rating, which is 5 stars! Buy it, read it, and enjoy it because it's truly an excellent book to add to your library!
