I agree. This is sad. A man dies and all some people can do is rip on his daughter's appearance. Tori isn't the most classic beauty, but many women would love to look as good as her.
As far as his work: Well, he produced some real gems and some real crap and everything in between. Don't we all? (Heck, I manage to do that trick every week in the kitchen.)
Great point.
I'm a TV guy and Spelling was obviously huge in his field and seemed to have a great time while at it.
RIP.
