Stories from Candyland

by Candy Spelling

Carole Gene Marer spent her girlhood dreaming of meeting Rock Hudson, but when she finally had the chance--on her second date with her future husband, television mogul Aaron Spelling--she hid all night in the powder room.

The life she created for her family--her husband and children Tori and Randy--was fabulous, over-the-top, and often magical. Candy had a hand in some of the most beloved television shows of all time (she once stopped production on "Dynasty" because Krystle Carrington's engagement ring was not spectacular enough), has entertained half of Hollywood in epic fashion, and lives an enviable life.
