Tori Spelling is remembering her legendary father.

The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress is the eldest daughter of Aaron Spelling and Candy Spelling (née Marer), who married in 1968 and were also parents to son Randy, 47.

And on what would have been her father's 103rd birthday, the Dancing With The Stars alum shared some memories with him with her fans.

Taking to Instagram, Tori first shared a photo of herself posing with her father, who was 50 when she was born, wearing a red, sweetheart neckline dress.

A photo followed of herself as a newborn in bed with Aaron, plus more photos of her throughout her charmed, Los Angeles childhood, and one featuring her brother Randy.

Tori's father, who had an approximate $600 million net worth at the time of his death, and her mother Candy, also a Los Angeles native, were 45 and 23 when they tied the knot. Tori was raised in her parents' famous The Manor home in Holmby Hills, which they completed building in 1988.

Construction on The Manor began in 1986, with over 150 workers a day, using over 500 tons of steel, and was completed in 1991

The residence, which Tori named as a child, is the second largest house by official living space in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, bigger than both the White House and the Taj Mahal. 

It is a 56,500 square feet French chateau-style mansion with 123 rooms (27 bathrooms and 14 bedrooms) on 4.68 acres of land, and upon its building, it included a screening room, a room for Candy's antique doll collection, gift-wrapping and flower-cutting rooms, a barbershop, a humidity-controlled storage room, four two-car garages, a tennis court, solarium, wine cellar, gym, tanning room, and a pool, among other features.

Candy put the estate up for sale in 2011, five years after Aaron's death in 2006, when he was 83. It was ultimately sold for $85 million to Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone, and though, even after extensive renovations, it was sold in 2019 for $119.7 million, down from  its original $200 million price.

"My Dad and @thepatrickmuldoon loved each other so much. Hope they are having a cocktail right now together!" honoring her friend and late Melrose Place actor Patrick Muldoon, who died earlier this week aged 57 after an apparent heart attack.

Tori herself shares five children with ex-husband Dean McDermott: Liam, 18, Stella, 17, Hattie, 13, Finn, 12, and Beau, eight.
