Spelling's chatty account traces her own trip to Fantasy Island from her youth as an L.A. model stuck on movie magazines and Rock Hudson to such wifely tasks as designing Aaron's dauntingly huge office -- and mogul's image." Publisher's noteCandy Marer spent her girlhood dreaming of meeting Rock Hudson, but when she finally had the chance--on her second date with future husband Aaron Spelling--she was so shy she hid all night in the powder room. How Candy Spelling morphed from the girl whose life was equally defined by hopes and fears to the seemingly-confident, stylish trophy wife of television mogul Aaron Spelling, is at the heart of "Stories from Candyland," The life Candy created for herself and her family: her husband and children Tori and Randy, is fabulous, fun, over-the-top, full of insecurities and often magical. She designed and presides over the largest house in Los Angeles (70,000 square feet). She stopped production on "Dynasty" because an engagement ring was not spectacular enough for the character. Oprah threw her into a major panic with a discussion of hoarding. She turned their Holmby Hills home into a winter wonderland with imported snow machines at Christmas-time, dressed her children in costumes she designed with Hollywood's top artists for Halloween, and used her dog to determine who belongs in her home. "Stories from Candyland "is what Candy has discovered about the art of living, delivered in Candy's unique yet down-to-earth voice, revealing her failures and the excitement, and reminiscing about shared experiences of her generation. After 40 years as a Hollywood celebrity-byrelation, Candy Spelling has learned how to tell good stories. Twenty-five perfectly chosenphotos from Candy's vast collection will serve as illustrations for her subjects.- What pop culture, Dr. Spock and Mr. Spock taught me about being the perfect wife and mother AnnotationThe wife of Hollywood mogul Aaron Spelling--and mother of actress, author (STORITELLING), and reality TV star Tori--offers her side of the story in this candid and entertaining memoir. Candy was renowned for throwing lavish parties in one of the biggest homes in Hollywood, and she raised her children in a fantasyland of excess and extremes. STORIES FROM CANDYLAND provides an intimate peek into the unusual life of a bold personality.
