Riches To Rags Facts About Tori Spelling, Hollywood's Fallen Princess
As the daughter of Hollywood royalty, Tori Spelling's life was glitzier than any character she played…until a tragedy left everyone wondering, “How could a promising life go so wrong?”
1. She Never Stood A Chance
In 1973, legendary producer Aaron and actress Candy Spelling welcomed their first child Tori into the world of celebrity. But they had no idea that she’d become one of Hollywood’s most notorious riches-to-rags story. Sadly, when Tori tried to forge her own path, she found it overgrown with messy relationships, family feuds, and tabloid scandals.
2. She Was Born With A Silver Spoon
Aaron and Candy showed their love through money—and boy did they have a lot of it. However, they also taught Tori that love and money were indelibly intertwined. Tori grew up measuring love by the numbers on price tags. These over-the-top declarations of love included making it snow on Christmas. In Los Angeles. Her father literally put snow in their backyard. But all that glitters is not gold.
3. She Has Mommy and Daddy Issues
Aaron wasn’t perfect, but he looked like dad of the year compared to Candy. When 12-year-old Tori asked her mom, “Am I pretty?”, the right answer was obvious. Instead, Candy replied, “You will be when we get your nose done” (which she did at 16). It’s no wonder that Tori finds love—or what looks like it—in the worst places.
4. She Had A Forbidden Romance
Tori’s pattern of problematic relationships starts young—too young. At 15, she found herself in a secret, months-long romance. It wasn’t just forbidden because he was the family chef; he was also 26. When her parents discovered this, they understandably flipped out. The chef? Fired on the spot. Tori? Grounded for months. Tori didn’t take this well.
