Aaron Spelling dies at 83
 

As Spelling was born and raised in Dallas, it got page 1 coverage in the Dallas Morning News: http://tinyurl.com/r84wa

Spelling was responsible for shows like Charlie's Angels, Mod Squad, Fantasy Island, Dynasty, The Love Boat, T.J. Hooker, Melrose Place, Beverly Hills 90210, Life With Lucy, 7th Heaven, and many more.

Did you know he played a pyromaniac in the 1967 Dragnet series? Or that he was the hillbilly gas station attendant in the I Love Lucy episode where they travel through the town where Cousin Ernie lives?

His daughter is the 90210 star Tori Spelling.

RIP. That guy was a TV icon.
