Aaron Spelling was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants. After serving as a pilot in World War II and graduating from SMU in 1949, he made his way to Hollywood where he began his long and illustrious career in show business. Spelling initially found work as an actor, appearing in bit roles in many early television classics such as Gunsmoke, I Love Lucy and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
