This suit was worn by the character "Louella Parson," portrayed by actress Elizabeth Taylor, in the 1985 television movie, "Malice in Wonderland." The black 2 pc. crepe suit has white beaded lattice plackets and white mother of pearl buttons down the center.
Ms. Taylor can be seen wearing this suit near the end of the movie when she confronts Hedda Hopper (Jane Alexander). "Malice in Wonderland," based on the 1972 novel, "Hedda and Louella: A Dual Biography of Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons," by George Eells, stars Elizabeth Taylor and Jane Alexander. It tells the based-on-real-life stories of powerful Hollywood gossip columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons, once friends and later rivals. It was nominated for four Emmy Awards, including one for Outstanding Costume Design for a Limited Series or a Special.
