LOS ANGELES - Much has been made of the family feud between Candy Spelling and her daughter, Tori, over the years, and in an appearance on “20/20” on Friday night, Candy Spelling said it hasn’t stopped.

“I don’t even know where Tori lives,” Candy Spelling told “20/20” co-anchor Elizabeth Vargas.

And though Candy, the widow of TV mogul Aaron Spelling, is set to release a book on her life in Hollywood, “Stories From Candyland,” she admitted she never read her daughter’s own tell-all.

“I didn’t read her book so I don’t know exactly what she said,” Spelling said. “My friends told me it was hurtful. They’d read it and told me, you know what, I shouldn’t, so I didn’t.

“Evidently, she’s angry at me,” Spelling added, noting that she’s made an attempt to patch things up. “I have [called her]. She does not pick up the phone.”

While Tori and husband Dean McDermott now have two children — Liam, 2, and Stella, 9 months, Candy said she hasn’t had much of an opportunity to be a grandmother.

“I’ve never even met Stella,” she said of Tori’s daughter, who was born in June 2008. “I’d love to be close to my grandchildren. I’m the only grandparent living, so — I’m it.”

Having placed the Spelling mansion on the market for $150 million, Candy is looking forward to a new home — and a new beginning.

“I would hope that we would all spend a Thanksgiving, a Christmas — a holiday together, and at some point, all be together always,” she said.
