Aaron Spelling, one of Hollywood's most prolific television producers, suffered a stroke at his Los Angeles home on a Sunday in June 2006, his publicist confirmed that Wednesday.
Spelling, 83, was never hospitalized. His publicist, Kevin Sasaki, said he remained at home under medical supervision, resting with his wife.
Over a long career, Spelling produced numerous hit series, among them 'Beverly Hills, 90210,' 'Charlie's Angels,' 'Starsky and Hutch,' 'The Love Boat,' 'Melrose Place,' and 'Charmed.' He had previously undergone radiation treatment for a throat lesion in 2001.
Earlier in 2006, a former nurse filed a lawsuit against Spelling alleging sexual harassment and wrongful termination. Spelling countersued for defamation, though a judge dismissed that claim.
