Mega producer Aaron Spelling passed away Friday evening from complications following a stroke earlier this week.

(AP) Aaron Spelling, a onetime movie bit player who turned to television production to create a massive number of hit series from the vintage "Charlie's Angels," "Dynasty," "Love Boat" and "Fantasy Island" to "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place," has died, his publicist said. He was 83.


Spelling died Friday at his home in Los Angeles after suffering a stroke on June 18, according to publicist Kevin Sasaki.

Spelling's other hit series included "Burke's Law," "The Mod Squad," "Starsky and Hutch," "T.J. Hooker," "Matt Houston," "Hart to Hart" and "Hotel." He kept his hand in 21st-century TV with series including "7th Heaven" and "Summerland."


The man who introduced the world to "jiggle" television with the "Charlie's Angels" will not soon be forgotten...
