Spelling Gets Emmy Tribute
Aaron Spelling made a lot more TV than he won Emmys. Sunday night, he'll be remembered for doing the former--and the TV Academy will make up for not helping him much with the latter.
The late producer of Charlie's Angels, Fantasy Island, Beverly Hills, 90210 and many, many more bags of popcorn TV will be celebrated during Sunday's Emmy telecast, show organizers announced Wednesday.
The statement ended speculation that Spelling family tensions, pitting daughter Tori against widow Candy, would prevent the clan's patriarch from receiving a special onair tribute.
On Wednesday, the publicist for Candy Spelling called such stories "a misconception."
"There was not a hold up of any tribute of the Emmys," rep Kevin Sasaki said.
In its announcement, NBC, which is airing the Emmys, said "stars from some of Spelling's numerous hit series" would participate. It named Dynasty's Joan Collins, 7th Heaven's Stephen Collins (or, as the network I.D.'d him "Steven Collins"), and Melrose Place, T.J. Hooker and Dynasty's Heather Locklear. It did not name Tori Spelling, who starred on 90210.
Sasaki said Candy Spelling played no role in deciding which stars from the Spelling stable would participate in the tribute. He also said no one from 90210, the signature Spelling hit of the 1990s, would be taking part.
"The [Emmy] producers decided on certain shows," Sasaki said. "And 90210 was one of the ones they decided not to do."
Emmy invites have been extended to all main-cast Spellings (Tori, Candy and brother/son Randy), Sasaki said. He did not know if all or any were planning to attend. A message seeking comment from Tori Spelling's publicist was not immediately returned.
Aaron Spelling won two Emmys during a 50-year prime-time career that led the records-keepers at Guinness to bestow upon him the title, "Most Prolific TV Drama Producer." He died June 23 at age 83.
The 58th annual Primetime Emmy Awards are scheduled to be presented in a live NBC telecast from Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium. Late Night's Conan O'Brien is on tap as host; Dick Clark, an impresario in the prolific Spelling mold, is on tap for a tribute of his own.
