Biography

In 1968, Candy Spelling (Carole Gene Marer) married Producer/Writer Aaron Spelling. Together they had two children, Victoria Davey Spelling and Randall Gene Spelling, both of whom became actors as teenagers, as Tori Spelling and Randy Spelling. They appeared in several of Aaron’s productions, most notably in Beverly Hills, 90210.

She currently owns a home called Spelling Manor, which is identified as the biggest home in Los Angeles County. According to her lawyer, she paid $47 million for a two-story condo atop a Century City residential tower that is still under construction in July 2008. Her lawyer said Spelling was moving in order to downscale her living space after her husband's death in 2006. She is seeking to sell her lavish estate, which was built between 1986 and 1990, he said. In March of 2009, Candy put her Holmby Hills mansion up for sale. The property is 4.7 acres, 56, 500 square feet, with an estimated 100 rooms and is said to be the largest home in Los Angeles County. The asking price is $150 million, the most expensive residential listing in the U.S. at the time.

She is currently a member of the Los Angeles Coliseum Commission, a Commissioner for the Department of Recreation and Parks (for the City of Los Angeles), and a member of the board of L.A.’s Best, the Mayor's group that provides reading programs to schools in L.A. She is a regular columnist for The Huffington Post, Los Angeles Confidential magazine, and TMZ.com (Spelling It Out).

Candy has two grandchildren through Tori, Liam Aaron McDermott (born March 13, 2007) and Stella Doreen McDermott (born June 9, 2008.)
