Aaron Spelling, a onetime movie bit player who turned to television production and created a massive number of hit series, from the vintage "Charlie's Angels" and "Dynasty" to "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Melrose Place," died Friday, his publicist said. He was 83.

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

Spelling's other hit series included "Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," "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."

:(
My thoughts are with Tori, and the rest of his family

WOW, I knew about the stroke but it didn't sound that serious. I guess I never really realized how old the guy was.

My thoughts are with Tori and her brother and mom.

Ditto. :(

I was hoping his stroke wasn't that bad :( He entertained us for years. Rest in peace.

:( What a list of great tv shows. RIP.

I'm glad he got to see Tori before he passed. I read that sue to conflicts with her mom she had just seen her father for the first time in 9 months and was able to meet her new husband. RIP Aaron and thanks for those wonderful shows!

Wow, this whole week E! News kept saying he was recovering well. Craziness. RIP...

Wow. I was just reading the news forum and saw that Anna Nicole's "step-son" and Patsy Ramsey had passed, and I was waiting to see who the 3rd one would be announced in this forum.

He led a good life as far as work. He gave us so many great tv shows. RIP.

May he rest in peace. He gave me countless hours of entertainment when I was growing up! Loved so many of his shows.

Thank you, Mr. Spelling. I will buy the 3rd season of Charlie's Angels in our honor.

RIP Mr. Spelling, thoughts and prayers go out to the rest of his family
