Aaron spelling is said to be the richest and most successful television producer in Hollywood and, in a city famous for its wealth, his wife Candy is the biggest spender. They recently paid more than 10 million for the huge house the famous American singer, Bing Crosby, used to live in. Then they had it torn down so that an even bigger, more wonderful mansion could be built. Not only will it have a more luxurious swimming pool, but there will be an indoor ice-skating rink and a private zoo as well. Will come to at least $25 million.

They say that a few years ago, on a typically warm Californian Christmas Eve, Candy had a huge amount of real snow delivered to the Spelling mansion and spread all over the green lawns so that their :"children could enjoy 'a white Christmas'.

Not long ago, Candy decided she needed a few more clothes. She had a whole fashion show flown out to her from New Yolk, along with the designer and three models. Not only did she buy the entire collection but — so the story goes at least — the bags and hats the models travelled with, as well. A lot of people in Hollywood wonder what she is going to boy next. "What more can she possibly want?" others ask.

Martin and Rebecca Granger used to teach in a tough secondary school in London. Two years ago, they moved to a small cottage in Cornwall, in the extreme south-west of England. 'We got tired of trying to make kids learn things they had no interest in,' Martin says. Martin's mother died, leaving the cottage to them. 'It was in a terrible state when we came. There were leaks in the roof. There wasn't even an indoor too. Rebecca and I have rebuilt the place with our own hands.'

It is a pleasant, small place by the sea. In their large garden they grow most of their own vegetables and keep a goat. They also make all their own clothes. 'Money is still a problem, but we've learned to get by on very little,' Rebecca says. She does some part-time teaching in a school in a village nearby. Martin paints water-colour of the wild Atlantic and the brilliant sunsets they see almost every day. He has sold a few recently.
