Candy Spelling Booksigning

Candy Spelling Discussion & Signing for “Stories From Candyland” 6/9 at 7:00pm Borders, 2817 N. Clark St (773) 935-3909 Candy Spelling spent the last four decades in the headlines and photo spreads, known first as perfect Hollywood wife and mother, then for the size of her home, cost of her jewels and folly of her gift wrapping room, and later as a caricature invented to benefit others. Candy knew her job was to be quiet, keep smiling and enjoy her life. She did quite well and now has decided it’s time for fun stories, not rigid rules. From the perfectly-dressed and painfully-shy girl armed with nothing but a love for Rock Hudson, the movies and a desire to be the best student ever in home economics class, she married one of television leading powerhouses -- Aaron Spelling -- and became Hollywood’s most famous mother and wife. In her new autobiography, Candy Spelling takes us into her life – the whirlwind ride through a Baby Boomer’s life with family, money and love, distorted and magnified by fame and the surreal existence of a celebrity-by-marriage.
