Aaron Spelling, RIP.

I just found out that Aaron Spelling passed away yesterday at 83. His death can reasonably be considered the end of an era in Hollywood. Spelling has long been one of the dominant figures in the US TV business, and as you can see from his IMDB entry there's a high likelihood that he had a hand in at least one program you've been a fan of. I was interested to learn that he had an early career as an actor as well.
