Life and career

Spelling was born Carole Gene Marer in Beverly Hills, California, the daughter of Augusta Gene (née Rosen) and Merritt Marer.[1] In 1963 Candy graduated from Beverly Hills High School. 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. 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. In March 2009, Candy put her Holmby Hills mansion up for sale. The property is 4.7 acres (19,000 m2), 56,500 square feet (5,250 m2), 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). Her autobiography, Stories from Candyland, was released in March 2009. The book hit the NY TIMES bestseller list two weeks after publication. It was also the #1 book at L.A.'s Book Soup.
